The 10 Most Pathetic Break-Up Texts Ever Sent

According to Neil Sedaka, Breaking Up Is Hard to Do. Really? Tell us more Neil.

Actually, it might have been hard to do back when the song was recorded but if Neil were to record a new version of the song – and I strongly urge him to desist from doing this – then it would need to be called Breaking Up Is Easy to Do by Text Message But It Can Get a Bit Messy. These pathetic break-up texts show us just how messy it can get.

This unhappy partner obviously thought long and hard about it before going for the subtle approach. Sadly, their soon-to-be ex partner just didn’t get it.

The Hugely Embarrassing Break-up Text

Oh dear, if ever there was a sign that a couple simply wasn’t on the same wavelength then this is it. Just a suggestion for you; if you partner ever suggests that you text your feeling simultaneously wait for their message to come through before sending yours.

The Wrong Ex Text

One of the worst things about the modern world is that it is too easy to send text messages to the wrong person. This isn’t a big deal when you are just writing about how you bought a new pair of shoes or ate a funny shaped pretzel. However, when it comes to your pathetic break-up texts it can be a lot more worrying.

The Bar Break Up Text

I guess another piece of friendly relationship advice could be needed here. Ok then, let’s say that you are in a bar and you want to pretend to your partner that you are actually at home alone. Before you send a text saying this you might want to look around and see if they are actually standing behind you.

The Batman Break-up Text

Batman is a fine character and I would strongly advise all fans of superhero action to check out his latest adventures at some point. Having said that, using references from Batman in your break-up text message isn’t really a smart thing to do.

The Broken Heart Text

This isn’t exactly a text message from someone breaking up but it is an idea of the kind of help and comfort you can expect to find from others when you break up.

The Wrong Number Break-Up Text

This is what we might call the Unintentional Break-Up Text. Although, if you had a suspicious sort of mind you might think that she had deliberately sent it to Joseph to break up without really breaking up, if you know what I mean.

The Devious Break-Up Text

Have you ever tried hiding from a partner by pretending that your phone was longer in service? If you did then I hope that you got the spelling right.

The Wife Break-Up Text

One of the problems of getting a break-up text message from your partner that is meant for someone else is that, err, there is someone else to break up with in the first place. It might take a couple of seconds for that information to sink in.
