42 People Are Calling Out Popular Sayings That Are Totally Wrong and Misleading

“This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you.” Chances are, you’ve been on the receiving end of this saying while someone was breaking up with you. Or you yourself doled out the well-known line. Either way, we’re all familiar with the saying. One person noted that this phrase was, “LIES!!” And it most certainly is.

We’re willing to bet that, when you did hear said line, you knew in your heart of hearts that you were hurting just as much if not more than your ex-partner. Why wouldn’t you be hurting more? Your partner is ending things with you. There’s the possibility you were initially unaware that something was amiss. Regardless, this line simply isn’t true.
