What are the odd reasons for parting, which are rather pretexts? We each used at some point for some reason at hand to justify, especially to ourselves, the desire to break up with a person who was not what we wanted. Sometimes a relationship can no longer work because of real problematic situations: cheating, incompatibility, heated quarrels, or the disappearance of feelings…

Other times, although there is no clear situation to justify why the relationship does not work, it simply does not work, no you like it, it doesn't satisfy you; but because you don't know exactly why, you just find reasons

What are the strange reasons for parting, used more as a pretext:

Friends don't like your boyfriend/girlfriend. No matter how important your best friends are, the mere fact that they don't like your new boyfriend/girlfriend is not a basis for breaking up!

It often happens that your friends are a little jealous of their new partner, talks meanly about it, and don't even agree with it - but if you fall in love, you wouldn't care what your friends think. they will eventually accept the situation. Sometimes, however, the fact that your friends don't like your new partner is exactly the excuse you were looking for to run away, justifying your choice by the value of friendship…

Parents don't like your boyfriend/girlfriend. Speaking of strange reasons for separation: the disapproval of the parents is one of them! You care a lot about what your father or mother thinks about you, your life, and your partner, so if they criticize you, you're used to liking them and believing what they think. "Get rid" of someone without considering yourself pretentious…

You feel that things are going too fast and that you are always under pressure, whatever your partner says and does.

It's not a strange reason to break up when a new partner is in a hurry: talking about your future together after only a month or two to go together on the weekend - you feel pressured, you don't want to; he tells you he loves you - you feel pressured; he tells you to go out together - you feel pressured and so on…

When almost anything your partner wants, you don't want to and you feel pressured - it's pretty clear that you don't see yourself with him…

He has a habit that irritates you and makes you snap. Maybe it's a verbal tic ("mom, mom", "hop and so", "loud", "pipe", "good", "concrete", etc.), maybe it's a tick or a habit a little embarrassing (snapping fingers, grimacing, scratching, hitting your ears, eating loud or very, very slow and pretentious), maybe it's about smoking, drinking a certain drink - anyway, nothing so weird and irritating as to be something serious, but enough for you to say "I'm done, it's over"!

Sometimes a person's habit or tic is unbearable - especially when you're not attracted to the person (when you love, these habits seem okay, even nice)!

He has some physical defect (or a trait that you see as defective). Nothing that makes him stand out or that makes him ugly physically - but a certain trait that, although the first few times you don't notice especially, ends up making you jump! A rather big or a bit crooked nose, thin lips, crooked teeth, close eyes, height, hand shape, ear shape!

When you are not in love, a certain trait can obsess you - in the negative sense - and you end up seeing only what is negative, and you come to believe that that defect is so great that it is normal for you to break up! And it seems okay to say "I broke up because he had a short neck and big ears" (not because you would be perfect, but how about being with someone with a short neck and big ears ?!)…

He goes out too much / too little in the city. Speaking of weird reasons to break up: when your new partner's lifestyle doesn't suit you, it's different from yours! In general, partners who want to stay together adapt to each other and form a common style - but when it doesn't bother you to be with someone, it is enough that you are sociable and always go out in the city, he/she is closed. in itself and the house or vice versa and you can call it "pa-pa"…

He has no education at your level. It matters too little, when you love, what education you have and what education your partner has: neither the diplomas nor the chosen field of activity matters.

But if you are looking for a viable reason to justify why you do not want to continue, here is a perfect excuse: you are not compatible, you are not at the same level, you do not understand each other… If you do not have a master's degree, do not hear about he-she!

He doesn't have a good enough job. Initially, you like someone - but then you find out that he works as a manager, waiter, salesman, etc. And so your lead is suddenly cut - well, either you have too high expectations and focus on some superficial issues, or you end up finding another excuse…

He talks too much/too little. Neither is it good nor vice versa - the truth is that if you do not want to start a relationship or continue a new one, you will find reasons to break up the pile!

Even if the new partner talks too much, it seems to you that he is constantly talking and only says nonsense that bores or irritates you; either he doesn't talk enough, he doesn't seem to be able to hold a conversation longer than 5 minutes… But often, you exaggerate and see the situation exactly the way you want and how it helps you to see it.

Don't laugh at your jokes. A real crime - not to understand and not to taste your great jokes… You can say that ready, you have nothing to look for with a person without a sense of humor and who does not understand your style.

He doesn't like the same little things. Another reason for parting which is rather a pretext: he doesn't like the same movies, or food; or games; or songs! As long as you are not so different that there is nothing in common that brings you closer, the fact that the new partner has different preferences in one field or another is not bad for the relationship.

But if you want reasons - only good, you can use the argument that he/she likes other types of cakes!

The final idea is that any of these reasons for separation we use, the real reason is another much simpler, but difficult to explain directly: the person was not what we were looking for, what we wanted, we were not in love with her, we had no feelings real for her - because if you had feelings, you wouldn't break up just because your boyfriend/girlfriend has a big nose or just because he doesn't laugh at your jokes!

These motives are not sought and found to justify your parting decision to your partner - but first and foremost to justify it to yourself, to prove to yourself that you are right, that you are not exaggerating, that he/she is not good for you, because you do not have too many pretensions. After all, it is not your fault that your relationships do not work!
