What He Says When He's About To Dump You, According To His Zodiac

Is there ever a time when getting dumped feels OK? Even when you know things are working out with you and your partner, it still hurts when they break up with you. Maybe you tried more than once to repair your relationship but it was inevitable that one of you was going to have to end it.

It definitely hurts less to be the person doing the dumping. You might still feel guilty or sad, but there's also relief you feel from pulling the trigger on the relationship.

Most endings are difficult and it can be challenging to find a method of breaking up that doesn't cause an inordinate amount of pain. Some people like to do a breakup campaign where they start giving clues for weeks before they finally get enough courage to dump their partner; others use a more spontaneous and blunt method where they just blurt something out.

Another breakup technique is to be so obnoxious that your partner is practically forced to do the breaking up. But a clean break is always better than one that seems to go on and on, with the couple breaking up and getting back together, only to break up again. Some people will keep their exes in their lives in case they can't find someone new, which is the worst.

Still, getting dumped is far preferable to being ghosted. We all want to know what's going on in our relationship and when your partner just stops communicating with you, refusing to answer your texts, calls or emails, it can prolong the pain indefinitely.

If you have no clue that your partner is going to break up with you, it can appear to be from out of nowhere when they finally do dump you. Sometimes there are steps to a break up, and other times it's fast and emotionless.

Here's what he says when he's about to dump you, according to his zodiac sign.

As much as Pisces would like to be direct, he'll be unable to just dump you. He'll need to come up with a good excuse (possibly lie) so you won't feel that badly. It most likely won't work and you'll feel like crap. The good news is that he'll be wallowing over the breakup in his head for months to come.
