"I have taken a job offer in Timbuktu - I leave tonight. Farewell..."
Not the best idea if either you or her live or work in Timbuktu already.

Make it really outrageous so you look back on it in a positive way. Tell her you shagged her mum or something really bad, she may hurt you now but you'll laugh about it later! Or at least we will :D
Note: don't listen to me

Just tell her the truth, that you do like her but you don't feel that she is "the one" and don't want to break her heart when you do meet "the one" ^_^

Remember to wear riot gear if you're gonna go in with this one ;-)

I mostly concur with Keldon. And the sooner you do it, the less pain. Cause the longer a relationship goes on, the deeper you get involved.
Also, don't pull any nonsense like taking her out to a nice dinner to tell her. Just tell her you want to get together and talk, and then drop the news.

I'm guessing you also watch "how I met your mother"!
#148426 - simonjhall - Sat Jan 05, 2008 4:17 pm
I did see the pilot of that! I remember he broke up with her once on her birthday then got back together with her and broke up with her again on her birthday over dinner. Smooth.
Another way to do it (without lying) would be to do it JUST as they're/you're getting on a plane/train/bus as you can drop it and run. Plus it also limits the length of the conversation. You get to tell the truth but you've also planned your exit...

Define "get rid of" and "minimal mess". How about poisoning her food?

As most good jokes, that is so wrong, but funny in a twisted way. EDIT: You forgot the smiley, though :P

Yes, because every real programmer knows that women == problems!

Hey, that's a poor variation. Money is the root of all EVIL, thus women themselves are evil.

What is this weemen of which you speak?
I reckon *flicks suspenders* I RECKON...
That you must put her down... poison will not work, to dangerous. Throw her off a building, if she really IS crazy, she will enjoy the ride.
And so ends your torment :P

I was wondering that same thing. If I still like my wife, does she count as my GF?

That's actually what I remember, that money is the root of all evil, and so on and so forth.

It's from 1 Timothy 6:1 in the Bible:
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. (NIV)
The bible doesn't say anything about money being the root of all problems... But it does say that it's better to live on the corner of a roof than with a nagging wife. (Proverbs 25:24) ;-)

3 years here.
As for getting rid - just tell the truth, trying to "let people down gently" or not having the bottle to end a relationship that isn't working out will just cause you more grief in the long run. Try not to get into listing faults - "I'm sorry this isn't working out" tends to go down better than "You're a psycho hose beast"

I'm sure if you show her this thread she'll have a very good reason to break up with you.

"How many kids do you want?"
"What would you do if you had triplets?"
"What do you think makes an exemplary parent?"
"Where do you want to be in five years? Ten?"
"What would you think of having five kids? Seven?"
"How do you think a proper married couple behaves?"

I've never really understood why I keep hearing face-to-face is better by most girls I know. I've been dumped once, and it was one of her friends who did it on MSN. Don't think you can go much lower then a third-person IM dump. And yet, when it was my turn to be the dumper, and did it face to face, I found I liked the whole not-dealing-with-the-person thing a lot better. Later, I got back together with the girl and she even said that she would have preferred to be broken up with via a text message or something. Which leaves me with my pearl of 16 year old wisdom: Do it on MSN, an e-mail, or a text, and it will save you both some pain.

In general, the way of least discomfort is not necessarily the best way. (i've learned this from experience, over and over again.)

"The least amount of discomfort" can often amount the least responsible solution.

1531 days of (my 1st) relationship - she dumps me.
2 nervous breakdowns
uncountable amounts of pain.

there's no easy way when there's love on any side.

Quit being emo. If you can't be with the girl you desire, be with her sister. If you can, be with both.

if you cant be with a chick.... find a dude :P

the norm i've seen is you just start a new relationship and eventually she'll find out about it and break it off with you! it's a win-win.

exactly.
things get difficlut, if she's the "one" for you, but she lost her feelings towards you (actually she'll lose the every rest of any of her feelings if not helped by a "professional".)
ps: well, let's say i'm "special" (= not as most other people, tepples will know) and it's extra hard for me to have *any* relationships, because my interest in and understanding of human beings has always been rather... minimal? :^C - no comments please. thanks.

If she lost her feelings towards you, then she's not the "one" for you. Sucks, yes. But it's life.
And yes, it seems like she's the only one that matters. But the sooner you can move on, the better.
#152577 - silent_code - Mon Mar 17, 2008 10:48 pm
but ... i said "the one" like in "for me".
that may be hard to understand for most of you, i guess - at least from what i hear how "people" are supposed to work. argh!
well, that's why i said, "no commet" please... it's a kind of restricting myself to not write bs or stuff that i think others won't get without further knowledge.
and way over four years, damn, i think i know she's the love of my life.
guys, i hate swearing, but i'm f'k'd! :^C
