While some relationships
end on a peaceful note, others end in pieces. Be it as it may, the parties
involved certainly used words or phrases to wrap up the journey. Have you ever
wondered the type of words or phrases used by these persons before parting
ways? Perhaps no, because you already know some phrases that are used to end a
relationship with someone: "to break up with someone", "to dump
someone", "to split with someone", "to part ways" etc.
Well, kudos to you! But let's look at other English phrases love birds would
say to themselves if they no longer want to be together:
1. I don’t think this
is going to work out
When this expression is
made, it passes a signal of discontinuity to the person being addressed. It
reveals to him or her that we don’t envision a future together, probably
because our wants and needs aren’t aligned, or we have very different goals and
dreams.
2. It’s over
This is used in cases
where someone has caught the other partner cheating on or betraying him or her.
It is a very strong way to terminate a relationship with immediate effect. It
shows that it is not an amicable break-up.
3. I don’t think I am in
love with you anymore
This is a righteous and
straight-forward way of ending a relationship as it clearly states the fact.
However, the person who is still in love might find it very difficult to accept
the truth. It is a best phrase for ending a relationship that is built on
trust, honesty and respect.
4. I think I am in love
with someone else
This is similar to
number three above. However, in this expression, the partner reveals that he or
she is in love with another person.
5. I'm done with you
Just like
"it's over", this is a personal decision and would most likely
be said if it is not an amicable break-up.
