How bad can a breakup get? Pretty bad if these stories are anything to go by.

So Twitter NG is buzzing with stories and stories of hearts being broken and everyone seems to have one sad story or two.

Everyone needs to go through a bad heartbreak at least once. Once you realise it didn't kill you, you unlock some next level of strength and clarity for your next relationship. For me sha.

3. Wow. Just wow.

My first heartbreak was this girl that begged me to leave my place temporarily because her father was coming to visit her from the east and she had been lying to him that she had her own place.
So I left my place lovingly. Not knowing she was bringing her real boyfriend.

8. Wicked

I won’t forget when my Ex took me out for dinner on my birthday, only to break up with me 😂. In his words “I feel you deserve this treat before I let you know I’m seeing someone else before we end things, I need a woman who is financially stable “ I remember

9. Love makes you the most tbh

10. This is sad and hilarious at the same time

The maddest thing heartbreak has made me do is dm his ex for moral support 😭 we weren’t even friends. I asked her how she got through breaking up with him
