Breaking Up Over Ketchup

by Genevieve

While we like to think ourselves nobler than to break up with someone because of a habit such as excessive ketchup use, many a relationship’s demise has begun with annoying minutae and ended with the phrase: “I love you, but…”

Alex Holder and Ross Neil got together three years ago and made an effort to be honest with each other about the little quirks that can quickly drive a partner mad. The couple, both creatives at a London ad agency, recently launched a website featuring possible endings to the “I love you, but…” declaration. Ross drew pictures to accompany the phrases, and the result is an amusing, often cringe-worthy tribute to the relationship dealbreaker.

The site currently features 43 hilarious—occasionally tragic—phrases. For example (punctuation is British):

“I love you but, you’re a close talker.”

“I love you but, you pout whenever we pass a reflective surface.”
