There are good reasons to break up. These are not them.

Don't break up with your boy- or girlfriend...

  • Because he looks at other women. (If he doesn't, and he's not blind, he's either gay or dead.)
  • Because she is a high-powered attorney.
  • Because his dad owns the town you live in.
  • Because she does every single thing you say.
  • Because he makes you breakfast, but the eggs aren't quite perfect.
  • Because she drives a Porsche.
  • Because he doesn't like your sister.
  • Because she doesn't wear underwear.
  • Because he shows no interest in your girlfriends.
  • Because her mom is your dad's boss.
  • Because your BFF thinks he is not interesting.
  • Because she lives in a much better neighborhood than yours.
  • Because he likes shopping.
  • Because she doesn't like shopping.
  • Because everyone admires him when he dances.
  • Because all heads turn toward her when she enters a room.
  • Because he is too free with his money.
  • Because she is a Yoga master and contortionist.
  • Because he makes the bed and folds his clothes.
  • Because she has a ninth degree black belt in Karate.
  • Because he is too kind.
  • Because she is too calm.
  • Because he never criticizes you.
  • Because she never nags you.
  • Because he buys you things you did not ask for.
  • Because she is a U.S. Army Ranger.
  • Because he has interests other than you.
  • Because she reads books.
  • Because he knows all the best places to have a serious and thoughtful discussion.
  • Because she knows all the best places to enjoy outdoor sex.
  • Because he can pick a great wine.
  • Because she likes beer.
  • Because he sews.
  • Because she is better at your favorite sport than you are.
  • Because he's too clean.
  • Because she's too dirty.

I would totally break up with a guy, if he didn't like my sister. I think that is an awesome reason to break up with someone. My family is very important to me and if he doesn't like someone in my family then he is not good enough for me.

I would also break up with him if he is too free with his money. If he is just an average Joe and not a millionaire then I don't want to be with someone who is financial irresponsible. I think that is another good reason to break up with them... I don't want to be in debt and I want my kids and myself to be comfortable but have the essentials. How can we do that if he throws his money away on useless crap?

I agree that if he thinks your sister is okay, that's good. If he thinks your sister is HOT, that's bad.

Finances? If you're planning to marry the guy and have KIDS already, ya, the bad spending habits gotta go.

seems like just a list of random things that a couple of guys sat around and came up with. not in depth really. more just for fun.

as for breaking up with someone because they dont like your family, sorry, but i didnt think they were dating your family. just like if their parents dont like you, you shouldnt break up with them, cause guess what? you arent dating their parents.

on the topic of money. dont base anything on money, or finacial responsibility. if worst comes to worst, you take over the finances. if you want to marry someone, and live your life with them, dont break it off over something that you could fix.

You've got quite a long list here. People just got to embrace both negatives and positives to make their relationships work.

This is hilarious...I hope you just made these up, rather than gathering them from actual experiences.

Well, let's see. I never broke up with them, they always broke up with me. I guess the eggs weren't perfect!

I don't know Tom, if he sews. Really isn't that reason enough.

I would have thought it had to be needlepoint, but if sewing is over your personal threshold, who am I to say otherwise?

After reading this, I think I have always had good reasons... not as shallow as I thought I was.

What id you asked this person out and he said yes and then he broke up with you 2 days later saying, "I don't really like you. We can be friends though." That sucks...

Ya, that sucks. I'd say, "You can't break up with me because it's already over!" That would fix 'em

I have come recently to realize that a great many more of my gender than I previously thought are really @$$holes. I had previously thought that most men really want to please the women whom they are with. But it seems that various levels of abuse are much more common than I thought, a suspicion that I find most disturbing.

This is supposed to be a funny hub, but there is really nothing funny about that. Men who abuse women have something wrong with them and it needs to be fixed.
