'They said they needed to "focus on their plants"': 25+ Awkward reasons people gave for dumping their significant other

Breaking up is hard to do… Just ask these people who were dumped in some awkward and cringeworthy ways, and lived to tell the tale.

Not every relationship is meant to last forever. Some romances reach their peak within a few months, and then it's time to find someone else to date who's more suited to you.

You might think it's too hurtful to tell them you don't think you're a match any longer. Trust these people when they tell you, however, that there are much worse reasons you can give for ending things.

I don't know why they thought that would comfort their now-ex more than just being straightforward, but clearly their ex remembered it for a long time afterward. A bunch of people shared their cringiest breakup excuses, and you can read some of the funniest ones below. This year, let's stop blaming our pets and plants for our breakups, and just try to move on with grace.
