These 10 Breakup Lines Can Drive You Nuts in Lebanon

Initiating and/or accepting a breakup is never easy unless both partners want to ditch each other and not knowing how. The outcome is always a relief to both. However, it takes emotional energy, mind efforts, and sometimes some lies and sugar-coating to end a love relationship with someone.

While many breakup lines can be prevalent amongst many cultures, you can see that, in Lebanon, it’s most of the time very complicated for one of the partners to call it a quit or part ways.

Hence, it’s very common to use some disingenuous, typical, and very soft breakup lines enclosed with endless arguments that could be, in many cases, untrue and mendacious. Let’s see how many of these you have experienced, and we apologize in advance for any memory discomfort.

#1. El ossa mesh fikeh or fik (It’s not you, it’s me)

While this can be a very common and an overused breakup line, in Lebanon whenever a guy/girl uses this cliché-statement, they won’t just end it there. They feel the urge to enclose it with a tirade of a 300+-word paragraph and endless arguments in order for it not to sound too rude or odd.

#2. Ana daye3 or day3a (I am lost)

Of course, the “I am lost” kind of thing won’t be the only statement used to declare a breakup. It should come along with 'selflessly caring' statements like ma baddeh day3ik ma3eh, and ma zanbik bi yalleh 3am ysir, as in again: It's not your fault, don’t take it personal, (as if a break up could ever be a "not-personal" matter).

"I'm lost and I don’t want to affect your life with the mood swings or ups and downs I am experiencing." That's too caring indeed. So, instead of you feeling bad for yourself (or hating the fellow), you would go feeling instead sorry for the person dumping you.

#3. Btestehleh Ahsan (You deserve better)

Just another breakup line to end the relationship on good terms and tell the other person that they do deserve someone better. This could also come in a more dramatic form when one of the partners says: enta kteer 3layeh (you are out of my league) or enti kteeer mniha (you are too good for me).

So okay, LOL. If one does truly believe that the other is so good, why would there be a breakup in the first place, considering the claim that this is the only reason?

#4. 3am assiss hale (I am still working on establishing myself)

Was that too ambiguous to recognize before going into a relationship? Of course, this Lebanese breakup line comes attached with other unconvincing arguments, like: badde rakkiz 3a sheghle (I want to focus on my work).

Okay, now, hold on there. This can only make sense when she or he is bothering you at your job place, distracting you all the time from doing your daily tasks; otherwise, it doesn’t really make any sense, does it? What has your love life to do with your work?

#5. Baddeh space (I need some space)

Via Meme

That can only apply when one of the two can be really clingy or taking it real serious! Other than that, what does a “space” really mean? Could one of the two be possibly sleeping on their partner’s bed leaving them a little space to lie in there? Or maybe standing on the doorway and not allowing them to go out?

#6. Ba3dak betheb el ex (You’re still in love with your ex)
