The 6 most embarrassing break-ups

If you have to do it anyway, then better do it in a humorous way. So that he never forgets how funny and brilliant you actually were. Voilà, the six most striking break-ups.

Tell him with a billboard

In England, a woman was so fed up with her husband cheating on her with his mistress that she rented a billboard he passed every day on his way to work. ‘To my husband Paul’, it said. ‘You deserve each other’, the text continued. ‘When you come home, I won’t be there. Enjoy your drive to work.’

Sew him up

Tineke Verburg's husband (I know, it was a long time ago but that doesn’t make it any less funny) ran off with another woman. Out of revenge, Tineke cut all the buttons off his shirts, threw them in the street, and shouted after her ex: “She can sew so well, right? She’ll know what to do with this.”

Or you do it on TV

I will never forget the episode of Man Bijt Hond where a camera was set up in a shopping mall. A woman took her moment and spoke to her husband. “Hey Fred with your herpes. I don’t need to see you anymore. Your stuff is on the street and you can’t get back in.” Also good afternoon.

Post it on Facebook

I also know the story of a boy whose girlfriend changed her relationship status on Facebook to: complicated. When he asked her about it and looked again the next day, it suddenly said: single.

In Swahili

A man had a friend send a text message. In Swahili. While translating, she realized he was breaking up with her.

On her birthday

A boy broke up with his girlfriend. Then sent a message saying: “Oh crap, it’s your birthday. Happy birthday.”
