WORRIED your relationship is on the rocks? Here are some awful locations to get dumped in that will really rub salt into the wound.
A service station
The average Welcome Break isn’t a particularly cheery place at the best of times, let alone when you’ve been told that your soulmate wants to ‘see other people’. You can’t even have a drink to console yourself, so it’s either eating your own body weight in sweets from WHSmith or losing all your money in the incongruous slot machine area.
On a long-haul flight
If your sweetheart is willing to sit next to you in awkward, occasionally teary silence for nine hours rather than spend another second as your partner, you’ve seriously f**ked it. Hopefully the flight is the return leg of the journey, otherwise you’ll have to spend a week at an all-inclusive resort trying to avoid meeting each other in the queue for lunch.
A kebab shop
It’s late, you’re drunk and you’ve spent all night bickering with your partner, which sets up a strip-lit kebab shop full of people messily stuffing doners into their gobs as the perfect arena for a dramatic break-up. Expect the other punters to take sides, offer unhelpful advice, or just ignore your pathetic little scene and throw fries at each other.
The place you first met
If your partner takes you out to the place you had your first date, the last thing you’ll expect is that they’re going to destroy that happy memory by dumping you. But if they’re so emotionally tone-deaf they can’t see a problem with this, you’ve just had a lucky escape from a lifetime of tactless thoughtlessness.
At your wedding reception
Everyone’s worst nightmare is walking down the aisle to find there’s no one there at the end, but even worse would be being chucked just as you cut the cake. You’d be forever known as the poor sod who got ditched at their own wedding, and you wouldn’t even be able to get the money back from the caterers.
