"I should have known!"

One of my favorite things to do after a breakup is to pick something completely trivial and blame the demise of the whole relationship on that generally insignificant detail. Here's a list of some of my favorites:

• "He liked superman more than he liked batman! I should have known."
• "He thought that BROTHER BEAR was the best Disney movie of all time. Brother Bear. Seriously. I should have known."
• "He didn't like Les Mis! It was obviously never going to work."
• "He hated Ender's Game. How could I not see that coming?"

10/10 highly recommend doing this, makes a generally less than pleasant situation more tolerable. Plus, whenever I question my decision to end it with someone my friends can remind me: "No, you made the right decision. He loved the musical Cats. It was doomed to fail from the beginning."
