How To Break Up With A Jerk
79
If you're a women who's never dated a complete jerk, you're probably one of those women who married their High School Sweetheart. You're also probably still happily married 10 years on, and your family probably resembles the Brady Bunch.
This article will seem unfathomable to you, and I only can say that makes you an eviable woman. It will not, however, seem unfathomable to those of us who've dated the average creep more times than we can count. And when I say creep, I actually mean something much, much stronger; use your imagination, I'm sure you can think of a better word.
Now, some of this is tongue-in-cheek. Most of us can't afford number 2, but it sure would be nice. Also, it's important you realize some of these are kind of psychotic, and should only be used on a man who has really done you wrong. And I mean really - this isn't how you break up with someone who just left his jock-strap on the kitchen table one too many times. Every situation is different, so you may need improvise slightly - just keep it kosher!
The Man Who Spends All His Time At The Strip Club
This is the guy who just won't stay home and see to his woman. He'd rather be stuffing cash into some stripper's G-string while his pals cheer him on. And yes, there are plenty of women out there, who are in long-term relationships with men who go out to the strip club every single night. This is especially common in Texas and NYC. Sometimes it's just looking - and sometimes women are shocked to learn it's a whole lot more. If you're tired of either situation:
- Write a snarky little diddy about the jerk in question. A few references to size, lack of endurance, and lots of faking over the years, should be sufficient. Oh, and make sure to make use of words like "you are" and "dumped".
- Find a high quality Strip-O-Gram service and call them up.
- Arrange for a singing stripper to visit him at work. The jerk will probably grin like a fool and invite his buddies to gather round to watch. By the time she's done, he'll have a brand new emotion to associate with lap dancing.
- Get your girlfriends together and go to your local male strip club and have fun!

The Man Who Constantly Abandons You In Public
This is pricey, so, unless you're independently wealthy, save this for the guy you've been with for 10 years of more. The one who always seems like he's ashamed to be seen with you. The second y'all enter a club, he takes you the dance floor, leaves you there, and heads for the bar. And then chats up every hot woman he can find between then and when he finally decides to make his way back to you. This is also the guy who reluctantly takes you to social functions, but pawns you off on the nearest cluster of women and heads for his buddies - and never looks your way again until it's time to go home. This is the guy who never holds your hand, has never so much as kissed your cheek in public, and never introduces you when you run into his friends.
- Write something similar to what I described in the previous section. You'll want to mention how crap he is in the bedroom - and yeah, these guys always are.
- Grab the yellow pages.
- Find the cheapest deal you can find, and order you a billboard so everyone can enjoy your message.
- Once it's up, send him a text message, and tell him you've just bought him a special gift, and tell him where to find it.
- Take a photo and save it for whenever you need a good laugh! Just hide it away and don't show any potential boyfriends, cos they'll think you're a nutter!
The Man Who Always Tells You That You're Fat
These guys are total jerks. And they're usually far from studly themselves, which makes it even worse. When you've finally decided to dump him and find someone who's going to treat you right, do the following:
- Take this opportunity to join a gym or just increase whatever workout you're already doing.
- Get a magazine and find some pics of hot, hot women and cut them out. Do the same with some hunky men.
- Get a pic of the jerk. Get a pic of a big smilie face. Get a pic of someone waving goodbye.
- Get some construction paper and paste the pics onto individual pages, and then make a little booklet. On each page, write the following:
- Page 1: Hot bikini girls: "I've started working out. This is what I'm going to look like in 2.5 months."
- Page 2: Hot studly men: "These are all the men who are going to want me."
- Page 3: Pic of the jerk: "This is the man who'll wish I hadn't dumped him today."
- Page 4: Big Smilie Face: "This is what I'll be doing from this moment forward."
- Page 5: The person waving goodbye: "This is me waving good-bye."
Put the book somewhere he'll discover it on his own - preferably on the day you move out!

Too, too funny Isabella!!
Yep, the world is full of jerks!! There is something quite satisfying about breaking up with someone in a way that leaves no doubt there will be no second chance!!
Years ago, Mr. Too-Good-To-Be-True and I were planning a trip to Venice to celebrate our new engagement!! The day before we were scheduled to depart, I received an 8x10 glossy of my Mr. Perfect and my married secretary doing a lot more than filing on my cabinets!! (I, of course was crushed and cried for hours!!)
I pulled myself together. I didn't tell anyone I knew what was going on behind my back.
I called my "secretary" and asked her to help me plan a nice little last minute airport surprise for The-Man-of-My-Dreams!! She came by my place and picked up a large sealed envelope with instructions to deliver it to Mr. Stud-Muffin at the Airline Gate from which we would be departing!! And to make sure he opened it in front of her.
She happily did as instucted!! Inside was the 8x10 glossy, the tickets to Venice and a note that said, "You both deserve each other!!"
Later I found out that my secretary's husband had accompanied her to the Airline Gate as well!! By the time all of this transpired, I had removed my things from his place (and vice versa) and had the locks changed at my home and office!!
Needless to say, there was no engagement, no one got to enjoy Venice, Mr. Wonderful got dumped, and my secretary lost her job AND her husband!!
GREAT Hub Isabella!! Thank you!!
Believe it or not, Mr. Gorgeous tried to get back with me for almost 18 months before finally giving up!! Some jerks are just more dense than others!!
Mr. M - You're one of the good ones, I'm sure. :)
EA - Wow! What a story!! That's brilliant! Sorry it happened to you, but you seemed to handle it well! ;)
Thanks Isabella!! It took me years and years to get over!! But I am like a cat; I land on my feet each and every time!! Again, love this Hub!! I love ALL your Hubs!! Earth Angel!!
EA- awesome story, sad, but you handled it well.
Isabella- great hub as always.
Awesome hub, Isabella. But in regards to the guy "who just left his jock-strap on the kitchen table one too many times"... I would think that once would be one time too many! (Who does that?!) Hah, very entertaining hub. Is that billboard real? It's pretty amazing.
Isabella you're a hoot! I just loved your HUB! That billboard still has me laughing.
Greatest HUB
regards Zsuzsy
Isabella, I didn't know such outrageous jerks existed!
Not only stupid, but also revealing lack of love and respect.
They deserve what they get! I love the creativity that's going into making them get it!
Earth Angel, you were very creative!
Isabella, Nice Hub...Some men are jerks,
but women should really
take there time because
some men only want one thing. Some nice ladies give in too quick!

Loved it, a good laugh. Great for a Monday morning, it just set me off for the day in a jolly mood. Thank god never encounter those... but if I ever do I will kow what to do!
Too funny, Isa.
I just can't believe there are men who behave like this - I know I couldn't :)
Ditto Kenny and Mark. I suppose every man has done things that he regrets with / to a woman, but I think that most of us don't ever quite reach these levels of jerkdom. At least, I hope not!
EA - You're so sweet, thank you! :)
Whitney - Thanks! :)
Helena - Im sure some jerk somewhere leaves his jockstrap on the kitchen table. ;) Not sure if that billboard is real, but I suspect it might be!
Zsuzsy - I'm glad you liked it! :)
Kenny - Oh.. they do..! ;)
Raj - Thanks! And you may be right. :)
Princessa - I hope you're still smiling! :)
Fret - :)
Mark - Hmm.. can't tell if you're kidding or not!! ;)
Doc - Well, y'all are some of the good ones, then!
that is really true im in dat sourt of relationship now
i dn tknow how i got into it it is a bit shit really
Well! Girls need to be extra cautious it seems.Never heard of such things happening around the globe.Thanks for the laugh and information.
Entertaining. It's a given: Men are often cads!
Isabella-
This is really funny, I hope you right more articles like this.
Abhinaya - I'm glad you liked it! :)
William - Yes, it's true! ;)
Msvickybee - Thanks! I might do that! :)
532054 - Thanks! :0
Well, I certainly had a good time reading this!
I have lived SUCH a sheltered life....
