Breakup Lines That Will Have Them Laughing Through The Tears
Whether you're the dumper or the dumpee, being part of a breakup conversation is usually not a fun time. Even if it's ending amicably, it's going to be awkward, one of you is probably going to get emotional, and then you're just left alone to deal with it when you walk away.
What if, though, people put more of an effort into breakup lines like they do with pickup lines? Soften the breakup blow by adding a little spice to your conversation.
Sorry, I'm About To Lose You
"Hey baby, are you in a tunnel? Because we're breaking up." —Reddit / _iPood_
For bonus points, you could say it while you're actually going through a tunnel and see if they can hear the whole sentence before you drop the call!
No No, Keep Your Hand Down
"Raise your hand if you have a boyfriend... Not so fast." —Reddit
Someone would have to have a quick wit to get this one in the moment and realize what's happening.
Those Breakup Ballads Are About To Hit Different

The Stars Are Not Aligning For You
"You remind me of Halley's Comet. I don't wanna see you again for another 74 years." —Reddit / Victim_of_Conscience
That means there's still a glimmer of hope that the two of you will reconcile!!
Maybe You Should Get Glasses
"Hey baby, I think I'm going blind, because I can't see you anymore." —Reddit
What if she's too concerned about your eyesight to realize what you're saying and offers to drive you to the optometrist?
You Should Probably Cancel It For Real Too
"Hey babe, I think it's about time we cancel our gym membership. We're not working out anymore." —Reddit / spongej0e
Let's be honest, when was the last time you worked out for real, though? You might as well cancel that too and save yourself the money.
Hope You Find What You're Looking For
"We need to cover more ground so we should split up." —Reddit / HyperNathan

Oh, We're Getting Real Specific

So What Does That Make You?
"They say one man's trash is another man's treasure. I hope you find someone who treasures you." —Reddit / giantcabbage_
Does this mean he considers you to be his trash?

You're condemning her to a life of never working for anyone.
I'm Sure They'll Take The Ending Of Their Marriage Well
"Knock knock. Who's there? My divorce attorney." —Reddit / Bobik8
Can you imagine if your marriage actually came to an end with a (not very good) knock-knock joke? At least you'd know divorce was the right route...
Yikes
"Damn girl, are you being followed? Cause I've been seeing people behind your back." —Reddit / tjames709
You know, there is such a thing as being too honest during a breakup. Maybe keep your side chicks out of the conversation.
Really Hit 'Em Where It Hurts
