I was thinking about excuse some might give for ending something...whether it's a relationship or friendship, etc.

I had an ex boyfriend once that would only say "you know what you did" what

I just said...ummmmm ok :laughing: still don't know what it was though :laughing:

what are other excuses you have heard

and of course the classic...it's not you, it's me.

what do you say to that???? you are right and glad you could recognize you have a problem? laugh

The first excuse actually was used on me- i told him that i hope he enjoys his family time- and maybe eventually he would be able to cut the umbilical cord- and i wished him the best- needless to say- we don't talk-
The one I used? we hung out for a while but he still had feelings and I didn't feel anything like that so it fizzled but you just sort of suck it up and move on- there are so many people out there to meet- -when you get "blown off" it hurts your pride more than anything but usually its for the best.

here are 5 that I found

Common Breakup Excuse #1: “I love you but I’m not in love with you.”
Translation: “I’m not attracted to you anymore. Sure, I might have been in the past but those feelings are long gone.“

Common Breakup Excuse #2: “It’s not you - it’s me!”
Translation: Once again, “I’m not attracted to you anymore.”

Common Breakup Excuse #3: “I’m too busy for a relationship right now.”
Translation: “This relationship is more trouble than it’s worth and I’m better off without you.”

Common Breakup Excuse #4: “I’m falling for you - too hard (and too fast) - and I’m scared!”

Common Breakup Excuse #5: “You deserve someone better.”
Translation: “I’ll be looking elsewhere to get what you can’t give me.”

Hmmm...let's see here....

I think the best, yet most screwed up, excuses I ever heard was the excuse my ex used for cheating on me.

When we were arguing, she accused me of cheating on her. I pointed out that it was SHE who cheated...not me.

Her response....

" Well...you WOULD have ".

I am STILL trying to wrap my head around that logic.noway

I can't see you anymore because my husband Tony has told me if he finds out that I am seeing someone else, I'm gonna wake up with their head next to mine on my pillow! Oh, did I mention that my husband's in the Mafia?

10 LAME excuses

10 I discovered I have a mild form of epilepsy and you bring on attacks because you make me too excited to be around you

9 I have a pet dog, he kisses like you, his breath is like yours, he pants like you. I love him dearly but I wouldn't want to marry him. Lets part before this goes any farther.

8 We just grew apart I don't need you anymore.

7 You mean more to me than life itself -- but I'm suicidal.

6 I want someone who can buy me a new car...Can you buy me a new car???

5 I'm sorry, but there just isn't room in my life right now for both you and my vibrator.

4 You're too young for me. I mean, too old. But we're the same age. Well, that doesn't work for me, either.

3 My dog is having puppies and I need to take a year off in order to train them to attack your picture.

2 This just isn't for me. Nothing personal. I want to be able to tell people I'm single.

1 You talked about the future, and that freaked me out. It makes me sick to think about it.

I ran out of gas.

I, I had a flat tire.

I didn't have enough money for cab fare.

My tux didn't come back from the cleaners.

An old friend came in from out of town.

Someone stole my car.

There was an earthquake.

A terrible flood.

Locusts.

IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD.
