Sometimes in relationships, things don't work out for bizarre reasons. We've all been in situations where we've been dumped unfairly (at least I hope we've all been there). But every so often you find yourself in a position where you have to be the person who breaks things off. At first, you're shocked. You've always been in the other role, so this is completely new to you. You're consumed with conflicting ideas about how to go about this, what you would like to hear if the roles were reversed, what needs to be said, and what definitely does not need to be said. You may even arrive at a place where you're considering staying with the other person because you're not a confrontational person and staying would just be easier. Thankfully, you think again and you realize that despite your issues with confrontation, this next step is absolutely necessary.

So you force yourself to break up with your partner. It's not an easy thing to do, and they probably didn't take it well (can you blame them?). But even if the reason behind the breakup seems so incredibly singular and unique, we guarantee you that it is not as weird as some of the reasons you'll find below. These reasons include strange similarities between your boyfriend and your father, ridiculous disagreements about the shape of the earth, and even conflicts over what kinds of food they will eat.
