We bring you a collection of break up texts that can help you if you want to end your relationship via text message.
Many people would say that it is cowardly to end your relationship that way. But sometimes it is impossible to do it face-to-face and break up texts seem like the only reasonable alternative.
Best breakup texts
1. Love means never having to say we’re sorry. I’m certainly not sorry that we met and fell for each other. It was a wonderful time, but all good things come to an end, and this is it for me.
2. You have been a great boyfriend, but I need to end things. It’s better for us both if we break up.
3. I think you know that things have been hard. Let’s break up so we can remain friends.
4. Life will go on even when we are no longer together. I’m sorry this has to end. Good luck.
5. You are a wonderful human being. You deserve someone who can give you the time and attention that I can’t because of my commitments. She’s out there; go find her. I won’t stop you anymore.
6. I’ve realized that I don’t love you anymore. I don’t want to lie to you, because you deserve to be treated with respect. I know you will find someone who will treat you better. But I just can’t do it. I’m sorry. Goodbye.
7. I wanted to love, and I honestly was trying my best to love you like you love me. But I just can’t lie to myself anymore. We can’t be together, it just doesn’t seem right. You are a wonderful person, and I know you will eventually find someone who will be just right for you.
8. You know how much I’ve loved you over the past years, but the way things have become, it is impossible for me to stay with you. I’m sorry and I hope that you can one day forgive me. Goodbye.
9. I like spending time with you. But it’s not enough. You deserve to be with someone who loves and appreciates you. I just can’t give that to you. It’s time for us to say goodbye to each other and move on.
10. They say that, in a breakup, it is never only one person’s fault. And especially in our case, we are both to blame. Even though we tried our best, we just couldn’t make it work. This is why I think it is better for us to end here on a peaceful note, while we still can. I’m sorry, but this is goodbye.
11. I’ve realized that there’s more to me than loving you. I got so used to being your other half, and I completely forgot that I needed to be myself in the first place. I’m sorry, but we can’t see each other anymore.
12. I don’t know if this is for the best, but I feel this relationship asphyxiating. This is why I want to end this. It’s not you, it’s me, but I feel like I cannot deal with all this stress anymore. I’m sorry, but goodbye.
13. We’ve had a great time. But I just don’t feel like we belong together. Love doesn’t live in this relationship anymore. It’s hard to admit that, but we need to say goodbye to each other to live happily ever after.
14. We can’t save something that has already died. The only thing we can do is to let it go. Our love has died and it’s time to admit it and take another step. I want to be happy and I wish you happiness too, but it will never happen as long as we are together. That’s why we should break up. I’m really sorry.
15. This is as hard for me as it is for you, but the time has come to say goodbye. It was fun while it lasted, and I will always look back on our relationship with a smile, but the time has come for both of us to move on. Please forgive me, goodbye.
16. I have made up my mind. I want this to end. When you ever feel alone in the future, just think why were you unable to maintain this relationship. And if you do, I’d be happy to try this again. But for now, goodbye.
17. I still love you. And that makes it even harder. Although I still have so much love for you, I just don’t feel happy with you anymore. Let’s not look for someone to blame. This is life. Wishing you all of the best.
18. I’ve tried countless times to set things straight, but every time I try to compromise and take one step back, you take three steps forward. Thus, I’m sorry, but this is the end. Goodbye.
19. They say if you love someone, set this person free. I love you, darling, and I want you to be truly happy with someone who’s better than me. I know that I made you suffer a lot and I want it to stop. Please, be happy without me.
20. When you kiss me, I feel like I don’t want to kiss you back. When you hug me, I can’t wrap my arms around you with the same tenderness that you have for me. When you say you love me, it’s so hard for me to say I love you too. I’m sorry, but I’m not the one you need.
21. Tbh it was fun hanging out together, but I don’t think we are meant to be a couple.
22. I haven’t been in touch because I think that continuing this relationship isn’t going to do either of us any good as, in my eyes, it has no future. I think it’s time to call it a day.
23. I’m sorry I couldn’t break up with you face-to-face. I just think that if I did, I would get all emotional and wouldn’t be able to say this to you. I don’t consider our relationship a failure, but it was definitely not a success. This is why it’s better for us to end this now, while we still have the chance to do it peacefully. Goodbye.
24. We never know what will happen tomorrow. There are so many paths we can choose and sometimes we can’t predict where they will lead us. Unfortunately, our path has led us to a dead end. And it means that we have to separate and walk different roads.
25. We shouldn’t regret things that come to an end. Because every relationship in our life brings something new. Every person we meet changes us and makes us rethink many things. Every breakup teaches us to overcome the most tragic moments. Thank you for the experience you gave me. You made me a better and stronger person.
26. Our first date, the first time we kissed, every single message that you sent to me, I‘m keeping in my heart. And every single word that you’ve said to me, touches my soul. Although we cannot be together, you will always be a special person to me.
