And once again, the Girl dodges the issue and turns it around to being someone else's fault. Can't own her part in the problem; it's all His Fault.

Saying I'm leaving you because your tits are lopsided" is just plain cruel and sour-hearted. Be glad you're rid of this asshole.

But "I'm leaving you because you talk too much" is being honest. He can't get a word. You dominate the conversation. Yopu're opinionated and uninformed. You expect everyone to agree with you and diss those who don't. You've no respect for other people's views. Yeah, you talk too much.

At least she was honest at one point: women like her would rather lie than be honest. Me, I wish they'd quit assuming we'll die if she dumps us. If she's honest, our hearts will indeed be hurt but we'll get over it. Men have no respect for liars--why should we?

If you dump a person, they have a right to know the truth as to why. You accepted their love, attention, devotion, and other gifts; you owe them the courtesy and dignity of being honest about why you're leaving. That's what adults do. This goes for men as well as women.

The only exception to this is if the other person becomes violent at hearing criticism, in which case you need to get out now any way you can. This also goes for men as well as women.

I agree, you should be honest when you break up with someone. But i don't think its a " female or male" thing, both sexes are gulity of being dishonest,vague,rude,blunt and down right immature. Break ups get worse as you get older, you became more in tune with the signifant other. If that person breaks up because you are not skinny enough, need bigger breasts/muscles then they are obvious not worth the time of day and need to grow up - Males and females included

It's not rocket science!!! Of course you should be honest up to a point but just use your judgement surely. I mean if you've only been seeing someone for a few weeks and decide they're not for you, it hardly needs a blow by blow account of all their faults to let them down. Some mealy-mouthed platitudes will be fine.
However if you're in a long term thang then your soon-to-be-ex partner deserves some sort of explanation - so that they're not just folornly left wondering what went wrong.
But you don't need to go total character assassination on em. What's the point in making them feel bad about things they can't change about themselves?
Why does it always have to be about boys v girls, just treat each other like human beings for Christs's sakes.

This is my biggest pet peeve and I simply think the right-side perspective is rationalizing bad behavior. A break-up should be honest, without harping on things that can't possibly be changed. How can one ever expect to improve if you can't learn from your mistakes? If I'm too short for you, I can find someone who doesn't mind men who aren't 6'+. If I interrupt too much, I can work on it. I'll sooner say nice things about an ex who was honest than one who stopped calling or lied blatantly.
