soyouvebeendumped.com: break up cliches - those annoying things your family and friends keep saying to you!

It doesn�t seem to matter whether you were dumped or did the dumping yourself - both parties are subject to such pearls of wisdom from everyone they know. It happens because people don�t know what to say to you - and so they resort to the tried and true remarks which are very true - however annoying!

Some of those remarks are:

New! "Everything happens for a reason."

New! "If you were meant to be together, you'd be together."

New! "You are so young, you have time to find the right one."

"You are too nice for him."

"It's for the best."

"No man or woman is worth your tears and the one who is won't make you cry."

"There's a cover for every pot."

"Time heals all wounds."

"It obviously wasn�t meant to be."

"It couldn�t have been 'right."

"There are other fish in the sea."

"Whatever is for you won�t go by you."

"Men (women) are like buses � another one will be along in 15 minutes."

"Things always work out for the best."

"You�ll get over it."

"Someone better is just around the corner."

"What goes around comes around."

"You get back what you give."

"They�ll get theirs."

"He (she) will regret it."

"When one door closes another one opens."

Sometimes you want to just punch someone when they say these things to you. It�s as if saying "buck up and get on with your life" is really as simple as that.

When we have a broken heart, we know all this but it doesn�t really make it any easier to deal with knowing that we will "get over it in time"- does it? It�s like they have forgotten how it feels to be so crushed. If it was a simple as just forgetting about them, then don�t they think we would?

It would be great if heartache was a light switch and we could just turn it off. I, for one, would have done that a long time ago, but it isn�t and we just need to get through it as best we can.

Next time you�re about to use that clich� � make sure it�s necessary. Put yourself in the dumped person�s shoes � and think what you�d want to hear. Chances are it wouldn�t be the above clich�s � no matter how appropriate and true they may be.

What are some of the most classic things that were said to you when you went through your last break-up? We�d love to hear them �
