How do you tell your parents it is over?

Don't get your panties in a twist... just cause this thread is going to become the most popular and will be on the boards for years to come...

 

I feel mean because the OP is probably a very nice person, but once upon a time there were no forums online, and while that had its bad points,but it also allowed an individual to think of minor phrasing issues and etiquette matters on their own..and people survived...sometimes you need to just man up and tell your parents you aren't with your girlfriend anymore. On the list of things you may have to break to your parents its rather mild

 

Mom: Son, why hasn't "Cindy" been around lately?

You: Remember that visit I made to the Doctor, it was to get rid of crabs.

Mom: Oh, I see.

 

its none of their business really, and they probably wont give a shit if you tell them, theyre not going to freak out, its YOUR relationship. just tell them. and then say, i am not upset, i just dont want to talk about it, its over, the end.

or you could always tell them that she gave you crabs like the poster above said, theres many options, but they all seem to have the same point,

its not a relationship breakup with your parents, so they shouldnt freak out. i had to tell my mom and dad when i was 17 that i broke up with my boyfriend with a restraining order while he was in jail and i moved out while he served his time.

im sure that saying, yeah we broke up, cant be worse than that!!

 

Actually, it's funny...I'm going through the same thing. My ex still hasn't told his parents-he said he doesn't want to right away. We were together for a long time, so it's hard on him.

I'm kind of dreading him telling his parents, too. I don't want them to think really badly of me-it's something I had to do.

 

True, think of how bad it would have been siegfried and roy.

Try telling your parents your gay and going to tame lions in one day.
