HAS your relationship petered out but you don’t know how to call it a day respectfully? Here’s how to break someone’s heart like a spineless loser.
Text them ‘soz it’s over’
Top off this tactless message with a sad face emoji and you’re home and dry. Your ex will probably have lots of questions and need some closure which is painful and takes ages, so immediately block their number to save yourself the hassle.
Get them to do it for you
By spouting some problematic opinions or listening to the Joe Rogan podcast incessantly, you can get your long-suffering partner to do the dirty work of ending the relationship themselves. This also means you can play the victim, so it’s all pretty sweet if you don’t mind being a manipulative liar.
Pretend you’ve lost your memory
Oh no, you’ve been struck by a sudden bout of amnesia that has erased all memory of your partner. Weird. It’s not like you’re at fault here though, in fact you’re sort of a medical marvel if you think about it. Maybe write a rom-com about this and sell it to Hollywood?
Marry someone else
It’s a long game, but if you trick another person into falling in love with you, propose to them and arrange a wedding, your original significant other should get the hint when you post them an invite to the big day. To make sure there are no hard feelings let them bring a plus one.
Fake your death
It’s cheap and easy to take out an obituary to yourself in the local newspaper, and when your partner inevitably clocks it you can both start to move on. The only catch is you’ll have to keep up the pretence until you’re actually dead, which could take a while.
