17 people share the absolute worst excuse an ex ever used to dump them.

Breakups are never easy, but when exes get creative and dare to avoid the 'it's not you it's me' line, it can at least be a funny story in hindsight...

So, when a Reddit user asked, 'What is the worst excuse an ex gave you for why you should break up?' people were ready to share the most embarrassing, confusing, or hilarious reasons they were dumped.

1.

'It's not like we ever said we were officially exclusive, or even dating.' We had lived together for over a year, sharing bills, holidays, sex, family events. Yeah I guess I never officially mentioned I thought we were dating. Oops. - pointylittlehands

2.

I'm still embarrassed by this. In high school I broke up with an amazing girl because I didn't like the way she sang my favorite song... - robotrock1382

3.

'Because you don't get angry enough when something bothers you.' I try to solve my problems calmly and rational (and am successful in doing so). She was just..weird I think. - meomeomeo

4.

Last weekend actually. 'I don't want to ruin our friendship.' - hawkinator

5.

My best friend is in LA working to be an actor, is an enormous nerd, and since moving there has dated an endless string of wannabe models and actresses. He once broke up with a tall blonde model because (his exact words) 'she didn't like Firefly.' - [deleted]

6.

'You're just not a catholic like me, and I need a religious man like Derp in my life. You know how seriously I take my religion.' She cheated on me with Derp at a catholic retreat. Clearly, she took her religion extremely seriously. - downvotes_animals

He was 'intimidated' by my mind. (But he was apparently not intimidated by her cleavage.) - DrDebG

8.

Buys me all of the things I said not to buy: 'I feel like I'm being taken advantage of' - AmiDamnit

He told me I was a 'pillar of negativity in his beacon of shining light.' - spn100

Food shows..I watch too many food shows apparently. - [deleted]

11.

'It's not you, I just don't want to be in a relationship right now, and I need to be alone and focus on myself.' She had already met her new boyfriend, lol. - -VB-

12.

'You're just so miserable with me.' Really? Because I was feeling pretty good about our relationship up until now. - extrazipper

13.

'I'm in love with my best friend. I think the only reason I dated you is because you kinda look like her....' - [deleted]

14.

My best friend's fiance broke off the wedding because she found scientology and he wouldnt convert - jasiones

15.

You've become selfish since you got cancer. I'm tired of always having to stay home because you're sick all the time. - spiralblaze

16.

'You fart too much.' - raffytraffy
