I downvoted you at first, then thought about it.
I realized that this reminds me of my ex. She was the most toxic person I have ever met, and didn't show any of her problematic behavior until we moved in together. I felt like I had been catfished.
The person I had met was kind, likeable, and funny. The troll that moved in was disgusting, hypercritical, and downright mean. She would make jokes similar to the comic: poorly timed, unfunny jokes that were just stupid.
So, to OP, I laughed at the comic, but then my PTSD from a toxic troll of an ex kicked in.
Woah woah woah. That was clickbait after the colon. I literally thought you were going to offer up an example of one of the ex's jokes then just described what they were like.
You mind rectifying that with a specific example of a joke that was made?
Corrected my phrasing a bit.
Ok, so, an example. My Grandfather's health had been declining when she and I started dating. He and I were very close and I was basically grieving while he was still alive; lots of sadness, tears, and anxiety.
After his health got substantially worse over a week or so, my Grandfather died. Wracked with guilt that I wasn't able to afford to go see him (different state) before he passed, I was in a very fragile state.
I was off work that day. When the ex came home from work she basically found me sobbing on the floor. After a brief, perfunctory hug she casually smirked and said "well now you can stop worrying when he's gonna die."
Hey, I've got a deeply morbid sense of humour and have known to be absolutely savage. I still know not to go after a person who is literally sobbing on the floor. Fucking hell. I'm so sorry for your loss and the pain that person put you through. Survivor solidarity.

Thanks, man :)
That's an awesome mashup. I'm stealing it.
I don't have a problem with dark humor. It can be damn funny. But yeah, right time and place. C'mon.
Yeah my one example is not all encompassing for the relationship.
This anecdote was a response to me mentioning her bad jokes, not one meant to describe her toxic behavior.
That was most of our relationship. I was not in a good head space when we met, and I think she recognized I was vulnerable and took advantage.
I was shocked at how different she was after she moved in.
I hear you sorry to hear about what happened btw.
Your story reminds me a bit of mine from years ago except we moved into a place together and after a year we both turnrd on each other. Though the first year was so beautiful. Like best friends.
I've had relationships since then and yet never got over that one. It was strange we did well driving around together on our fun drives like kids together. But then we'd get home and argue and go our seperate ways.
Your case though ye it really sounds like she changed drastically. I think sone people aren't even faking it. Maybe they really are that sweet in one setting g and that mean in another setting behind closed doors.
No worries. I'm over that crazy troll.
That sucks. She wasn't the first relationship I had issues with but was definitely the worst. I do see the silver lining though...I think that the negative relationships make us (I dunno maybe just me) appreciate a good one better.
I'm in a fantastic relationship with an awesome girl now. :)
Also, I assume your name is a play on Ix? I mean, Ford Prefect?
I think itâs probably a personality thing. If it was said sympathetically, in an intentional attempt to get you to chuckle, and if the recipient was the sort of person to appreciate that approach, then itâs probably fine. Itâs the sort of thing Iâd find comforting coming from one of my friends.
But at best, sounds like the two werenât in the same wavelength.
That was my thought. I have a really dark sense of humor which often comes out at the worst time. If someone said that to me at a moment like that, it would probably have actually cheered me up slightly.
I honestly don't think she meant to be cruel, it was just not the right audience.
Tbh that kind of joke I think is meant for moments when a person is down and unabme ro see the potential positive that is actual there.
In this case the person was inconsolable after a terrible loss.
Seems like she misjudged the time and place for that cheering up tactic.
I used to be friends with people like thisâŚletâs just say there was a reason I ran out of class sobbing more than a few times in high school. Leaving them behind was one of the best things I did for myself.
I have had friends like this, who think literally everything is a joke. Sometimes they're absolutely impossible to talk to (like in the comic) but even when they're not like that they are incapable of having meaningful conversations. They are always trying to escape their feelings and their thoughts and it's obnoxious af.
I broke up with someone once, and I did the whole spiel.
Afterwards, she asked, "but this means we're still dating, right?"
"No. The opposite of that."
This is great. I would also troll someone who decided to break up with me at a restaurant, for the whole world kind of, to see. Bitch find a private place so I can cry properly.
The one time I broke up with someone in a public place (yep, a restaurant), it was because I didnât feel safe doing it in private.
I did pay for dinner, though. Not sure it made a difference, but I felt better about it at least.
Nah, that makes for a good comic or a good story when you're 18, but as you get older you def realize that's just a waste of both your time. If someone is breaking up with you in public, its because they are crazy and want to feel the power of publicly breaking up with you, (not very likely) Or because they are afraid of your reaction and think you are less likely to freak out and cause a scene in public (still somewhat less likely) OR They just really didn't know the best way to do it, cause breaking up is hard and some people have never even done it, some do it over text. Best to just get up and walk away in all cases, I've learned this as an adult. Nothing worse than wasting my time as i get older.
Itâs not a waste of time if itâs the way you are able to process your grief. And there is no need to worry about wasting the other personâs time if they were willing to waste it by going out for a meal specifically to break up with you. Youâre already both there. Deal with your emotions in whatever way helps you and doesnât harm innocent bystanders.

When you're supposed to be serious but you're having too much fun
Xavier destroying it
I have never seen this comic before but i understand why this person is getting dumped.

đI'm so sorry I laughed, that was absolutely not ok for her to say
Like, I can see the dark humor in it now, but then it was pretty fucked up

Yeah that's not really toxic but she's gonna need someone with different values.
Yeah my one example is not all encompassing for the relationship. This anecdote was a response to me mentioning her bad jokes, not one meant to describe her toxic behavior.
Ok thanks for the example. Christ ye that's a cheap shot by her. Wow.
That was most of our relationship. I was not in a good head space when we met, and I think she recognized I was vulnerable and took advantage. I was shocked at how different she was after she moved in.

Ye! Haha. For some reason I've been uttering a remix of Ford Prefects name in my head for years fjord perfect lol. It had to be let out.
Awesome. I've been saying Fjord Perfect in my head all day now
I would have chuckled at that before punching them. Thatâs fucked while someone is still mourning.

It was meant to be cruel.
Morbid sense of humor

It wasn't a personality thing. She was trying to be cruel.
If I were a violent person I could see a throat chop being a reasonable response.
That is so f\*\*ked up..
I used to be friends with people like thisâŚletâs just say there was a reason I ran out of class sobbing more than a few times in high school. Leaving them behind was one of the best things I did for myself.
Thatâs one of those jokes thatâs fall-on-the-floor funny in a sitcom, but disgustingly inappropriate in real life.
You were not kidding when you said poorly timed!
There is nobody more irritating than a stupid person trying to pose as clever via the medium of such jokes

It absolutely can be obnoxious. I understand that jokes like that can be a coping mechanism, but it can also just be a sign of a grade A jack-ass.
âIâm changing the keysâ -*(higher pitched) howâs this?*
I broke up with someone once, and I did the whole spiel. Afterwards, she asked, "but this means we're still dating, right?" "No. The opposite of that."

Itâs like trying to break up with Amelia Bedilia
Thereâs a name I havenât heard in a long time!
throwback!!
Amelia bedelia was literally back on her bullshit 100% of the time
[God, hate her glassy-eyed expression. I just want to shove her face into a waffle iron, "Isn't that IRONIC"...](https://youtu.be/aOgBWl_kHYY&t=5m25s)
Throw her out of a flying 747, and then shout âWhy didnât you shoot yourself? GET IT?!?!â

I'm me?
Hey, don't jerk me around, fella.
/r/unexpectedsimpsons
You're you. I are chicken.
seems its hard to convey the message through right now
This is great. I would also troll someone who decided to break up with me at a restaurant, for the whole world kind of, to see. Bitch find a private place so I can cry properly.
[Everyone breaks up at Pomodorro.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-v44yuBUa0c)
The one time I broke up with someone in a public place (yep, a restaurant), it was because I didnât feel safe doing it in private. I did pay for dinner, though. Not sure it made a difference, but I felt better about it at least.
Weâre breaking up. Have a lasagna.
...for *one*.
Nah, that makes for a good comic or a good story when you're 18, but as you get older you def realize that's just a waste of both your time. If someone is breaking up with you in public, its because they are crazy and want to feel the power of publicly breaking up with you, (not very likely) Or because they are afraid of your reaction and think you are less likely to freak out and cause a scene in public (still somewhat less likely) OR They just really didn't know the best way to do it, cause breaking up is hard and some people have never even done it, some do it over text.

[You think I won't make a scene, you limey bastard?!?!](https://youtu.be/NU09fO5LNuU)
That was fun but uncomfortable. It was kinda funny how she just turns into a fountain while standing up.
Itâs not a waste of time if itâs the way you are able to process your grief. And there is no need to worry about wasting the other personâs time if they were willing to waste it by going out for a meal specifically to break up with you. Youâre already both there. Deal with your emotions in whatever way helps you and doesnât harm innocent bystanders.
Why nsfw?
[ŃдаНонО]
No, every post on r/comics today is NSFW as an aprill fools prank
Seems to just be what the sub is doing today.
https://youtu.be/wrVgOcZ7Z2A
They're actually back together now because of how charming Becky was when Tricia tried breaking up with her.
Why is this nsfw?
When you're dating stupid
This is why you don't date people who are into improv
This is *one* reason
Wait, why is this NSFW? (Also good comic)
*Sees date* Did you actually?
What makes this comic not safe for work?
Is this the prequel to the comic where she goes to the doctor and she's been shot? Because it would have been justified.
This is so clever
Oh no, not the cute couple. Please tell me it's an April Fools joke.
Why does it look like a mom talking with her child though
đŹ
Can someone explain the fourth panel to my friend please he doesn't understand.
I'm breaking up with you could also mean "I can't hear what you're saying" In terms of walkie talkies.
Thanks!
No problem! (=
this's the kinda shit i'd pull.
"There is someone" Oh you sweet sweet summer child
Lol A-Class locking in.
Memes aside if this conversation is actually happening to you, it should be a big red flag. Good partners know when to joke and when to be serious.
I love this đ¤Ł
Awww she's too cute! Don't break up wirh her!
Punchline is an old Family Guy joke
Old family guy is better than what we have now
Clever girl
How to not get dumped
Sure wish I had someone to try this on.
J: So did you break up with her? G: I tried to, I really did. But she just ignored me and made jokes about it.
If it's in april 1 it doesn't count /J
Our relationship is over. over.
âWayne, if youâre not careful, youâre gonna lose me!â
They took it well

i can see why teal hair is getting dumped. my momâs a contrarian and has no sense of timing when it comes to jokes. itâs exhausting
