How to break up with your partner beyond "it's not you, it's me"

Rocío Jurado

The greatest had a song with one of the best phrases to break up with someone in history. It is saying to that person "It's been so long since I feel anything doing it with you" and there will be nothing more to talk about.

Jack Berger in Sex and the City

"Sorry, I can't. Don't hate me" and yes, we all hated him when he left Carrie like this but for cowardly 'ditch' it's a terrific option. You leave a post it and you disappear like nothing.

Bridget Jones in The Bridget Jones Diary

"If staying means working within ten meters of you, I'd prefer a job where I have to lick Saddam Hussein's ass. Goodbye everyone."

We love this phrase from the great Bridget, ideal if you have to leave a co-worker or even your boss, as it happened to her. Of course, update the dictator's name with that of some character that is just as unpleasant for you.

Terminator in Terminator 2

"Sayonara, baby" is another mythical phrase from the cinema. In the original version, good old Arnold said it in Spanish "Hasta la vista, baby" so you can choose the one you like the most because it will be equally effective.

Ross Geller on Friends

"We were taking a break" was the most repeated phrase of Friends and the one that served for Ross and Rachel to break up every time they got back together. She was satisfied with 'burned horn' that he enlisted in that justification and although Ross did not do it on purpose, you can copy the idea when you want to get rid of an ex with whom you do not know how you got back.

Rick in Casablanca

To resort to one of the most mythical phrases in the history of cinema, "I feel that this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship", to break up with your partner is ideal if you want him to see that there is little passion between you. You may like him, but nothing more, and for that, being 'friends' is all you have to offer.

Dobby in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1

"Dobby has no master, Dobby is a free elf", change Dobby for your name and elf for woman, man or human person, whatever you want, and that's it. A good phrase to leave someone with whom you will claim your independence and leave a relationship that has all the earmarks of not being very healthy.

Ariana Grande

"Thank u, next" or thank you and let the next come with you "I don't want anything anymore" as Lola Indigo would say and which by the way is a very good phrase to say goodbye.

Summer in 500 days together

"I think we should stop seeing each other" just like that. Summer was clear that Tom was not for her and she made it very clear. Still, he couldn't believe it and hated her for a while but eventually came to terms with it.

Clementine in Forget Me

"Forget about me" is the title of a movie in which Jim Carrey undergoes an intervention to erase all his memories about Kate Winslet and if you want your partner to do the same and forget about you forever, with that phrase you have ample.

Peggy and Gustavo in The Muppets

"Our love life has taken different and separate paths. From now on we will start dating other people, pigs or frogs." There is not much more to add. Everything is understood.

Beyoncé

His latest album, Lemonade , is riddled with lapidary phrases for an ex so if you need inspiration, you know. If not, you can keep this one from a previous job: "So go, call that girl to see if she's home. Whoops! What did you think, that I didn't know?" in case they have been unfaithful to you.

Master Yoda in Star Wars

"May the force be with you" is ideal to leave someone if that someone is an enthusiast of this saga and has focused so much on it that they have forgotten about your relationship. With it you will express to him that you wish him the best but that the most appropriate thing is to take separate paths and the further apart, the better.

Anna in Frozen

If you want to get in the Drama Queen plan, you can pull off a Disney princess phrase that we love: "The only frozen heart around here is yours."

Samantha Jones in Sex and the City

We could only end her, with the great Samantha, a guru in sentimental matters who has given us great life lessons. We loved the courage she showed when she left Richard for the second time. "I love you very much but I love me more."

We have all ever broken up with someone using a thousand excuses and hackneyed phrases such as the always helpful "It's not you, it's me" and although it may come in handy on some occasions and be true on so many others, there are those who may dismiss you as not very modern, and out there if you can not pass . So, we have set out to find other ways to express that feeling that there is nothing to do anymore and for this we have been inspired by our muses from film, television and music. Attentive
