Predictable break-up phrases

Break-up one-liner 4: “I think we need to take a break”

Translation: “I want to shop around but I’d like you to still be there if it doesn’t work out”

If you ever hear this break-up line, run a mile and don’t look back. Taking a “break” is usually an excuse for the ‘dumper’ to play the field in the hope that the ‘dumpee’ will still be there waiting if it doesn’t work out. Don’t fall for it.
