"I set you free" that's a clear indication of breaking up right?
That phrase implies some weird things. Weren't they "free" before breaking up? Or even worse, weren't you "free" before breaking up? Plus, that sounds slightly dramatic/childish (I'm sure I've heard something similar in a soap opera). But at least it's fun and tones down the negativity of breaking up.
If someone said that to me as a means of breaking up, I’d feel three things. First: utter confusion as to why I was going out with a person who’d use turgid language like “I set you free” to begin with. Second: annoyance at their sheer cowardliness. I’m an adult, not a fucking budgie, I can take it. And third: relief that I got away from the twat.
Yep. I'll kick your ass and I only do it as a gift and since it is better for you and a sign I really care and it is for the greater good too! Anything else is therefore your own fault.
Oh is this the new version of 'it's not you, it's me' ? It's about time, we've been needing a new version of that for a while now
