Too Many Cliches

I have wonderful friends, I do. I will never, every deny it.  They have been there through thick and thin.  And they have listened to me whine and bitch for so long, I owe them big time.

But I was thinking.  Every time I break up with someone, they tell me the same cliches, each and every time.  And they’re cliches for a reason – there is actual truth to it.  So I wondered – how many cliches are there for being dumped?  I found a great site called, So You’ve Been Dumped.  Not sure if it is still active, but it had a great list of cliches!  I included them below and bolded the ones I hear the most.

Any others to add?

• “Everything happens for a reason.”
• “If you were meant to be together, you’d be together.”
• “You are so young, you have time to find the right one.” (EDITOR’S NOTE: YEAH RIGHT! NOT SURE I FEEL THAT WAY ANY MORE!)
  
• “You are too nice for him.” or “It’s for the best.”
• “No man or woman is worth your tears and the one who is won’t make you cry.”
• “There’s a cover for every pot.”
• “Time heals all wounds.”
• “It obviously wasn’t meant to be.”
• “It couldn’t have been ‘right.”
• “There are other fish in the sea.”
• “Whatever is for ye won’t go by ye.”
• “Men (women) are like buses – another one will be along in 15 minutes.”
• “Things always work out for the best.”
• “You’ll get over it.”
• “Someone better is just around the corner.”
• “What comes around goes around.”
• “You get back what you give.”
• “They’ll get theirs.”
• “He (she) will regret it.”
• “When one door closes another one opens.” (EDITOR’S NOTE: THIS ONE MAY BE MY FAVORITE AND MOST ANNOYING ONE ALL AT THE SAME TIME!)
