Serious Break Up Texts copy and paste

Breakups are never easy, that’s why I am making it easy for you with these serious break up texts that you can copy and paste.

To tell the person you have spent time with or the person that you love “it’s over” is a difficult phrase. It is a phrase you never want to receive from your partner, that is why it is also difficult telling it to someone else.

It takes courage to tell someone that it is over, even when they are wrong and they deserve it. You might even think that ghosting them is even a better option, but please don’t.

But how do you send a breakup text when you are the one who is wrong? Maybe they treated you right, you can’t fault them on anything, it is just that you are not attracted to them or you don’t love them anymore? It’s difficult because the breakup text will come as a shock to them. They’ll be heartbroken and they might try and beg you to work things out.

So after sending a serious break up text, be prepared for questions, tears, silence, or attacks. 

Choose the breakup text that resonates with your situation, copy and paste then send. 

And here are tips on how to move on from someone that you love.

How to break up with someone over text without hurting them

I don’t think you can ever break up with someone without hurting them, but you can send a polite message to end a relationship. 

1. Start with the positive

Instead of starting with it’s over, rather mention their positive contribution to the relationship. Even if the relationship was bad, there were certain things that attracted you to them or that they excelled at. 

So you can start by saying words like 

“I really enjoyed spending time with you”

“you are such an amazing person”

2. Be polite

As much as you want to be honest, please be polite. There are certain words that you should never use because it can crush their esteem and don’t body shame them.

Never say words like:

“You’re too ugly”

“You’re not man enough”

“You’re not good in bed”

3. Let them know why you are breaking up

If you are breaking up with your partner because you are in love with someone else, please don’t put blame on them. 

But if you are breaking up with them because they lied, cheated, or abused you, then you can be honest.

Make yourself and your needs the focus point, for example:

“I don’t see us working out” 

“I need to focus on me”

“I don’t do well with lies” 

4. Be brief

Don’t send a lengthy text, keep it brief. For example:

Hi, it was nice knowing you. But I don’t see us working out. Thank you for everything.

I enjoyed our relationship but the distance between us has become too great and there seems to be no immediate remedy. So I’m sorry I need to break this off.

5. Respond to their questions in a compassionate and kind way

They might respond and want clarity on your message. Please reply to them so that they can get some closure. This will help them not to blame themselves or think that they are not good enough.

#1. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be in your space. But I just don’t feel a real connection between us. It was lovely meeting you.

#2. When I met you, I thanked God that finally, I have found the one whom my soul loves. But I have come to realize that love alone is not enough. Goodbye, I wish you happiness with someone else. 

#3. Our situation has not been pleasant and I am no longer interested in pursuing any kind of relationship with you. If you reach out, I will not respond. I am crystal clear about ending this with you now. I wish you a better relationship with someone else.

#4. We had such a thrilling adventure. Even the best rides have to end at some point. I’m sad that we have come to the end of our journey. Have a blessed life without me.

#5. I really wish it wasn’t ending this way, but I’ve lost all trust after learning that you cheated. It’s over. Hope you’ll find what you have been searching for. 

#6. Only a few ‘welcome’, do not come with a bye-bye. I never knew that when I welcomed you into my life, you came with luggage that will soon birth the bye-bye. That luggage is too big for me, I hope someone else can help carry it for you.

#7. You have been an amazing partner, but I believe we will be better off separated. Please let’s put an end to this relationship.

#8. I’m not happy quitting this relationship, but I know it’s for the best. Although it’s hard to say goodbye, but I’m sorry, I have to say it.

#10. I have lost my identity in this relationship. I got so used to you that I don’t even know who I am anymore. At this point, I need to be myself, I’m sorry to have to end it this way.

Polite message to end a relationship

#11. You are such an incredible partner. Any person would be lucky to have you in their life and I am eternally grateful to have found you. The last thing I’d ever want to do is hurt you, but I feel it’s best to be upfront with you. While I have 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. I’m here to talk if you have any questions.

#12. Being in a relationship with you has been a pleasant experience, I never thought I will ever say goodbye to you. Saying goodbye at this point is like parting with a chunk of myself. Nevertheless, it is something I have to do. Wishing you a great life.

#13. As you know I haven’t been myself lately and you have always been asking if there is something wrong. You haven’t done anything wrong, it is just that I really need to find myself. You deserve someone who will truly value and treat you well. Please understand.

#14. The past months we have spent together have really been amazing. It is just that I don’t think that we are meant for each other. Wishing you a bright future.

#15. Our relationship has had its highs and lows. Our love has overcome so many hurdles. But I think it is now time to look beyond love and put myself first. It’s time we both moved on from this relationship. 

How to Break Up with Someone Nicely Over Text

If you are looking to break up with someone nicely over text without hurting them you have to:

  • Start with the positives. 
  • Don’t just say “it’s over” because they won’t see the part where you appreciate them. 
  • Don’t blame them for the breakup.
  • Don’t give too many specifics as to why you are breaking up with them. 
  • Don’t make it unnecessarily long. 

Here are some examples:

#16. You have touched my life in a great way and I can’t even begin to imagine my life without you. I wouldn’t be the strong person that I am if it was not for you. But lately, we have grown further apart. Someone out there is waiting for a great partner like you. Wishing you the best in life.

#17. I will forever cherish the moments we shared together. You are one of a kind. But now I just want to focus on me and wish for you to move on without me. We can still be friends if you want. 

#18. Our relationship has been fun all the way and filled with sweet and bitter memories, but it is time for me to move on. I know this may not meet you well. Please, forgive me.

Positive break up messages

#19. The moments we shared together have been great but we’ve also had some not-so-great moments. I am tired of trying to fix things. Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it’s better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together. Goodbye.

#20. It’s time we ended our relationship. And I know you’ll be mad at me for it. But not all endings are bad. I know you will find someone who is meant for you, who will treat you like the queen/king you are.

#21. I’m sorry that I have to breakup with you over text, I just could not do it in person. Sometimes we must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. Goodbye.

#22. This might seem like a painful ending to something that had the potential to be great. But don’t see it as an ending, but a greeting to your new beginnings. Wishing you a great future.

#23. Some people think that it’s holding on that makes one strong; sometimes it’s letting go. I’m sorry I have to let go of this relationship.

Sad break up texts that will make him cry

#24. When you came into my life, I was still going through a heartbreak. And you became my knight in shining armour and picked up the pieces of my broken heart. But as time went on you changed. You were no longer that loving guy, I could even see the hatred for me through your eyes. It’s like you felt disgusted by my presence. So today I choose to walk away from this, from you, from us. I am choosing to move forward with my life, because this relationship is taking me backwards. I really loved you, but now that is in the past. Have a great life.

#25. I have given you my all, I have even given this relationship my all. You know very well that there is nothing I could not do for you. But because you know the depth of my love for you, you’ve taken advantage of it. But I have decided to be selfish for once and put myself first. It’s over between us. 

#26. Our relationship has been great while it lasted, but now it seems like the days I spend crying are more than the days when I am not crying. Our relationship has affected my mental wellness and I am no longer that happy person I used to be. It’s time to detach myself from the source of my pain and see what happens to me. Goodbye.

#27. For a relationship to work, it takes two to tango. But I have been in a one-sided relationship. When you finally find your soulmate (who is not me), you will finally be able to love wholeheartedly, in deed and words. I’m officially calling it quits between us. 

#28. You thought that I never had it in me to leave you because I gave you endless chances even after you abused me, betrayed my trust and always made it seem like you were doing me a favour by being in a relationship with me. Cheers to your freedom because I am out of here.

#29. I loved you so much and did everything in my power to make you happy, but you never seemed happy with me. I still do love you so much and want to see you happy. But it doesn’t seem like you will ever find your happiness in me. I pray you find that man who will make you happy. It’s over between us.

#30. When I met you it was love at first sight. I even kept on dreaming of the day I would call you my wife. But I unfortunately had to wake up from my dream because you never appreciated my love for you. It’s over. Wishing you a great life.

#31. I pray you find what you are searching for because clearly that person is not me. Goodbye. 

#32. It’s been months of pretense and I can’t pretend anymore. In my heart, I’d already broken up with you months ago but I just did not have the guts to tell you. Goodbye, have a fantastic life.

#33. Breakups are hard but I know it won’t be hard for you since you were already acting as if we are not an item. You’re officially single, no one will cramp your style anymore. Enjoy your freedom.

#48. I was not prepared to type this message because I thought our separation would only happen when God takes either of us. I never thought our love would reach a point of no return. This is me saying it’s over. Have a beautiful life.
