10 Ways To Break Up With Your Boyfriend, An Illustrated Guide
79
1. Myspace or Facebook
I guess these days, if you really wanted to, you could just change your social networking relationship status to single - that should get the point across.
You can also update your "What are you doing now?" to something like, "I'm going out to find a real man!" or "{name} is single and ready to mingle!" and I would hope that Dear John would get the message.
2. Dear John Letter
Speaking of "Dear John," you could always write a letter.
Get some tips from ehow.com:
"It's time to end that relationship, but you can't bring yourself to do it face-to-face. You may need to resort to a Dear John letter. Originating during World War II, when servicemen would receive letters from wives or girlfriends telling them of their involvement with other men, Dear John letters have become synonymous with breaking up."
Wait a second. Who writes letters these days, anyway? Send a concise e-mail or a quick text message instead.
"Don't wan2 go out w/ u n-e-more. lol. kthxbye."
3. E-card
I think the Hallmark of break-up electronic greeting cards is someecards.com. They've got quite a variety, so if you're the greeting card type, try sending one of these.
4. "It's not you, it's me."
You can always play the caring, sympathetic card and let him down easily.
Whatever. You and your friends know the truth.

5. Witness Protection Program
Change your phone number. Move. Change jobs. Buy a wig. Get new friends. Travel in different social circles. Do whatever you have to do to avoid your boyfriend at all costs. Eventually maybe he'll stop wondering what happened to you and will stop looking for you.
6. Do what Carrie Underwood would do.
"I might've saved a little trouble for the next girl...
'cause the next time that he cheats,
oh, you know it won't be on me!"
7. Get somebody else to do the dirty work.
Have a friend break up with him for you.
No, wait, what are you, twelve? Don't do that.
8. But really... get somebody else to do the dirty work for you.
There are break up services online now where someone else will do the dumping for you! Visit AutoBreakUp.com, fill out a brief form, and it's done!
IDump4U.com calls their service "therapy, humanity and comedy all rolled into one!"
Think about it.. Do you want to lie your way into a breakup, only to leave the person vulnerable to make the same mistakes twice, or do you want to educate them on why you broke up with them, so that they can change those personality traits that drove you away? iDUMP4U takes the messiness out of any breakup. We collect the information about the person you want to break up with, and do the work for you. Since we have no emotional ties to the person, we can do it as honestly, and truthfully as possible.
IDump4U charges $10 for a basic breakup, $25 to call off an engagement, and $50 to announce your intentions for filing for divorce.
There are even iPhone apps, such as Erase Ur X, which will allow you to record a message, send a "screw-you" photo, and then permanently deletes the ex's number from your phone!
9. Get him to do it for you!
I've got it! If you really don't want to be the bad girl, do whatever you have to do to get him to break up with you! Acquire some really offensive bad habits. Start moving your stuff into his apartment. Stop practicing good hygiene. Really push that marriage thing. Discuss possible baby names with him. Buy matching clothes for the two of you. Pee with the door open. Flirt with his friends.
Two words for you: love fern.
Oh, the possibilities are endless!
10. Just do it.
If things aren't working out and you're questioning whether or not you should break up with your boyfriend, maybe you should. If you have doubts, and you're not happy, there's no sense in sticking around. You've got your whole life ahead of you. There's plenty of other fish in the sea, right?
If you're in a dangerous or abusive situation, then, all joking aside - get out.

AYA ENJOY READING! :D hope this helps ayosheeeeee
Compare the relationship to a spinny chair. At first it's all WHOOOOO I BE SPINNIN but then u get bored and nauseous.
What a retarted immature article it's funny because a lot of the girls reading this are young and actually use these methods. Many young women still use some of these lines and think guys can't see through it so it just makes it worse. Now I know where women get their stupid ideas from
Oh, "Immature..." You obviously didn't read the whole thing, because my last line says: "PS - I am totally kidding and was just trying to have fun with this request." Don't get all bent out of shape reading what was SUPPOSED to be silly.
:) this was just the laugh I needed! Thank you for putting this up!
Hahaha....love it...okay gg break up with my future ex bf
What ever you do girls don't use this tactic. I got a call from my Russian girlfriend's friend telling me she had just died in a bus accident. I was going to ask her to marry this girl. I was in chronic depression for 6 months and because of it my business went into bankrupcy for not taking care of it. I just found out she is alive. Apparently she wanted to stay in Russia after she went for vacation and they convinced her to stay and came up with this sadistic plan. PURE EVIL...and here I thought she was an ANGEL.
This is hilarious!!!!!!!!! ::)))))
Wow, I feel sorry for you, Richard.
Screw you, Russian b*tch.
I had to break up with my bf because i was feeling really guilty not liking him back. And one day my friend just called him over and told me to do it that second. So I told him 'I don't think our relationship is working out. Can we just be friends?' It's a good way of not hurting someone who really likes you.
Wow Richard, faking your own death is quite the breakup device.
I go for Slip out the back Jack, Get a new key Leigh, Make a new plan Stan, ect. Oldies but goodies.
very funny hub.
One word, HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!
i broke up with my BF while i was in primary because i din`t love him, but now im deeply inlove with him
just about to dump my boyfriend. we've only been going out 7 weeks but i just don't like i prefure being friends. i feel really mean as i don't think he's expeccting it at all. :(
HELP PLEASE

what do i do HELP PLEASE
Brianna - this article wasn't meant for serious relationship advice, it was meant to be humorous. If you're in an uncomfortable, possibly dangerous situation - tell someone. Tell this guy how you feel. And tell a parent, an older sibling, an adult you trust what's going on.
I laughed my way through this list. BUT - I disagree strongly. As a man and a lover, I say walk up to the boyfriend and tell him in one sentence why you're breaking up. If you can't tell him that in one sentence, chances are good you have no real reason to break up and you should wait till you can decide what it is you are looking for and can't be without - or you will wander from relationship to relationship, always looking for a shimmering something you can't quite define.
A further note: Don't women constantly attack men for not communicating enough?
I find this article to be quite entertaining...u had me literally rolling but I must say the I did however try to rush marriage and talk about having kids to push him away a little and guess what...he actually agrees and plays right along...lol...so now I'm mysterious and he is so in tune with me body language but when someone else asks how long we have been married he overreacts as if I had cooties or something...now I realize that after this situation occurred more than a few times we are not compatible nor do I see his face as I dreamed of walking down the isle...his loss indeed!!!
Wow. How cold! Yeah, none of these will work, but flirt with all of his friends and they can all get hurt! Great idea!
you can dump your boyfriend or girlfriend through dialbunny.com they do stuff like that...they are an phone call outsourcing company
Wow I'm thinking of ending my relationship with my partner of 8 months
Advice
