You might be going through these emotional breakup quotes for her because you want to soothe your broken heart or want to comfort a friend who is going through a breakup. Breakups suck, they are painful and sad. Go ahead and cry, but also gather the strength to move on.

I have been through breakups before and I know some of the emotions that you might be going through. You have cried numerous times and even have swollen eyes. You are wondering how you will face tomorrow again without him in your life. And the question that is lingering in your head is was it a lie, all the times you spent together was it all for nothing?

You are asking yourself if you will still be able to start all over again. Please check out my tips on how to stop thinking about someone you love deeply and also these tips on how to move on from someone you love. 

But when they say better days are ahead, I can attest to it. Sometimes you have to lose the one you love, so you can get the one who loves you so much and you also love. And it can’t happen unless you have made space for him in your heart. 

Your life post-breakup can even be better than before, but the decision lies with you. It will take time to forget those great times you shared, but with time, you will be pain-free, happier and it will all make sense. You will even thank him and yourself for the breakup.

Breakup comment

After receiving a breakup text from your partner it can be difficult to find the right words to text or to say to him or her. You might even feel like swearing at your partner but please refrain from doing so. Give your breakup the dignity it deserves.  

You can say words like:

• It’s ok (although in your heart you know it’s not)
• I get the picture
• I guess I have to respect your decision
• Wish I could change your mind, but ya
• Goodbye
• I’m hurt but I wish you all the best

If you need clarity you can call them or ask to meet up with them so that you can get closure.

But if they are not willing to meet up with you or ignore you then accept that you will have to deal with the breakup without getting any closure.

What is the most painful breakup line?

• “I never loved you, I was just passing time”
• “You’re too ugly”
• “My new girlfriend is hotter than you”
• “You’re not man enough”

What is the best breakup line?

• I think we are no longer compatible for each other so I think it is best if we ended the relationship. 
• I no longer feel the same way about you. 

What to say when breaking up with someone you love?

Breaking up with someone you love is never easy, there are no right words and breakups are always painful. 

If your partner has done something wrong like betraying your trust, then it can be easier because you do not have to justify yourself.

“Cheating and lying aren’t struggles, they’re reasons to break up.” – Patti Callahan Henry

You can start with words like you know I really love you, or what we shared was beautiful, but I think it’s time we ended our relationship. But remember that even if you can praise them or tell them how great they are, it will not matter when you tell them it’s over. So sometimes the less you say the better and just be willing to answer questions.

Here are some polite phrases you can say when breaking up with someone you love:

1. “I don’t feel the same way about you as I used to.”
2. “I am feeling hurt by many incidents that have occurred throughout our relationship and think it would be best to move on.”
3. “This relationship is not fulfilling my needs anymore.”
4. “I am not comfortable staying together knowing that we are on two very different paths.”
5. “I don’t feel right continuing a relationship that I can’t see making it long term.”
6. “In thinking about our future, I don’t think we are compatible in the long run.”
7. “I am having a difficult time communicating my needs to you, and think it would be best to work on myself.”
8. “I don’t think our relationship is healthy for me to continue being a part of and think we should break up.”
9. “I do not feel confident in our relationship succeeding going forward.”
10. “I no longer feel happy in our relationship and think we should break up.”
11. “I think we need to break up.”
12. “I feel like it would be best if we ended our relationship.”

14. “After some thought, I think we should end our relationship.”
15. “I no longer want to continue our relationship.”

What to text her to break up?

1. I feel awful doing this over text, but felt this was the best way for me to get my thoughts out as clearly as possible. Being with you has been filled with incredible highs and some painful lows, but we’ve always managed to make it work. Lately, I’ve reached a point where I feel like we’re no longer the best fit for each other. As much as I hate to end our relationship, I feel, at this point, that it’s the right thing to do. If you want to meet up and speak in person, I’m happy to do so at any point

2. I don’t have the courage to say it in person, hence the text. Our relationship has been incredibly special, but I am realizing more and more that we both want different things out of life. I think it would be best to part ways, so we both have the opportunity to go after our individual goals.

3. The last thing I ever want to do is hurt you, but I feel it’s best to be honest with you. Although I loved dating you, I just don’t see us working out. It’s nothing you or I did, I just don’t see our goals aligning in the future and feel it’s best to end things sooner than later. 

4. Our relationship has been such an important aspect of my life for so long that I feel like I’ve forgotten how to just be me. While I’m beyond grateful for the beautiful memories that we’ve shared together, I think it’s important for me to be alone at this point. Please understand that this is not about anything that you did or didn’t do- you truly are such a wonderful person and have been an incredible girlfriend. I’m so sorry to have to do this.

5. After some careful thought, I feel it’s best that we part ways. I have enjoyed our time together, but I don’t feel like this relationship is fulfilling all of my needs at this point. It was never my intention to hurt you, and I wish you nothing but the best in your life.

6. I am so grateful for the time we’ve spent together, and I’ve loved getting to know you; however, I no longer feel that this is the best relationship for me. I will remember the wonderful times we’ve spent together, and I truly feel lucky that our paths crossed.

7. I want to be completely honest with you. I have enjoyed our relationship, but I don’t see us working out in the future. Something within me has changed, and my needs have shifted. I will forever cherish the memories we’ve shared, and I’d love to remain friends if you’re open to it. I’m here if you have any questions or want to talk at any time.
