If you don’t like someone just say so: This is the silliest breakup excuse ever!

Flimsy excuses are just lame

• I think the ‘I-want-to-work-on-myself or I-want-to-focus-on-my career’ excuses are but outright and cowardly lies
• If someone dumps you or refuses to go out with you because he is ‘focusing on his career,’ he doesn’t really care about you
• The truth of the matter is that if you really like someone, you will make time for them

I was once dealt one of the most cliché breakup excuses ever: “I just want to focus on myself and my career right now”.

I had dated Joe for a little over a month when he woke up one day and decided that I was a hindrance to his burgeoning accounting career.
