Predictable break-up phrases

Break-up one-liner 2: “I’m going travelling”

Translation: “Not sure how to approach the tricky subject of breaking up so I’ll pretend I’m jetting off somewhere nice instead”

This is pretty much always a lie; an excuse to break up with someone without tackling the reason head-on. If in the future you see photos of your soon-to-be ex giving a thumbs up to the camera while aboard a camel in the Sahara desert, or pictures of them looking a little frightened while bungee jumping in Mexico, you can take back your doubts and forgive them. Until then, we can only believe this is a common break-up one-liner.
