1. You're better off without him/her
- How could you possibly know that? It feels like the world is ending and this is the last thing someone wants to even contemplate feeling and accepting.
2. It's going to be okay
- That is not how it feels at first. Let us be emotional, dramatic, and act like the world is over. We know deep down it will be okay eventually, but we don't need to hear that right now.
3. He/she was just a rebound
- Well now that just make us dumpees look stupid for being emotional, and it implys that our time together didn't mean anything. This saying is a big no.
4. I understand how you feel
- This is one that really puts me over the edge, especially depending on who says it. Some people who you know have no idea what you're going through say this anyways, and it can feel like a slap in the face. Don't say it if you don't mean it.
5. I never liked him/her
- Really? Were you lying to me the entire time I was in the relationship? This comment can bring up a lot of difficult emotions and result in confrontation. Probably not something that would go well during this particularly emotional time.
Let me know what you think are the worst things to say in the comments below or tweet me! @trustmeitsnot Until next time!
