Before deciding what kind of break-up message to send him, however, it's useful to take a look at why you want to break up with him. Is it because he cheated? Is it because he won't pick up his socks?  Is this a new or long-term relationship? Are you angry and want to hurt him? The reason why will help you decide which of the following scenarios fits your situation the best.Also, keep in mind that these ideas are only that: ideas. You can change them to suit your circumstances or use them as inspiration to craft your own cunningly constructed messages.

If you want to use humor or snark to break up with your boyfriend, he may or may not be amused, but you can be snickering away as you type out your goodbye message. Some of these are written as responses for when he texts you or messages you on social media.

==Tips, Tricks, and Warnings==
*Be careful about airing your dirty laundry on social media. Once you post something on the Internet, it stays there forever. What you say in the heat of the moment now could come back to haunt you at a later date.
*Be certain you're safe before attempting to break up with an obsessive boyfriend. He might get angry and decide to come after you.
*Try and be kind, regardless of what happened in your relationship. It will make getting over him much easier if you have no regrets.
*Don't try these ideas if you are underage, as they could have far-reaching consequences that you aren't prepared to handle.
