The Worst Things to Say to Someone Who Just Got Dumped

If you have been dumped I am sure things were said to you that you wish were not said. Things that may have hurt your feelings or even made you mad. This article will go several things not to say to someone who just got dumped. Perhaps it is too late for you because you have already been told some of these things, but hopefully a few will read this and get a clue for the future.

One thing to avoid saying to someone who just got dumped is, "there is better fish in the sea." This is the last thing they want to hear. They may logically know this, but at the time they may be feeling the fish that got away was the better one. Try to not use this popular phrase to someone who just got dumped.

Another thing you should not say is, "you'll look back at this and laugh about it." Even though this could be true, they do not want to hear it. Laughing is the last thing they think they will ever do at this point.

Now is also probably not the time to tell your friend how you really felt about her boyfriend. Maybe you never did like him and never told her. Now is not the time.

Avoid telling your friend that they deserve better. Perhaps they do, but at this time they may feel like they had the best and they don't deserve anyone better.

Another very important thing not to say to someone who just got dumped is that their boyfriend flirted with you. Do not take this opportunity to show your friend how big of a louse her boyfriend really was. More than likely she will get mad at you for not telling her sooner. Some things are better left unsaid.

"I didn't think it would last". Avoid saying this at all cost! Maybe you felt this way, and it may have even been true, but your friend doesn't need to hear it now.

It is also important not to say to your friend who has been dumped, "you'll get over it". It is like telling them to fast forward and quit crying over the boyfriend. Yeah, they will more than likely get over it and move on. They probably even know this so you do not have to tell them.

Sometimes the best thing to do after someone breaks up is to just listen and not say anything.
