I was thinking about how during a break up other people always say to the dumpee "they just knew you were too good for them and had to let you go." People said that to me when I got divorced. They said it when things didn't work out with the guy I'd been seeing for a couple months recently. Is this ever really true? I've never dumped someone because I thought they were too good for me, but I guess it's possible.
ive only ever had it used as a pick me up by friends who really had no idea of specifics on the situation that lead upto the break up. it also always had the reverse affect on me because i can realize what they are trying to say through the words lol
I've said that to friends, regarding the manner in which they were dumped. If a friend gets dumped in a classless way, then that shows me that he/she is too good for their ex anyway, so it's good he/she found out now. Always go out with class.
Random chance may make it true occasionally, but really, it's nonsense. People don't dump great matches - they dump people who don't work for them. Of course, you may be a great person, but not match someone, and they may be great too - but don't feel you're a match.
So, it's almost never that one person is too good for the other (unless that happens to be the dumpER who feels that way). It's always about not being what the person wants for a relationship, regardless of overall merit otherwise.

I agree with the above statement. Sometimes people cheat, or have poor manners, or are insensitive to others feelings. That doesn't exactly mean that they are a "bad" person, but people do make mistakes. And sometimes the way people carry themselves and act out various situations may bring unto themself certain criticisms.... especially if only one side of the he said/she said story is told.
I also think it can be a pick me up, but most of the time people don't know the whole story of why the break up happened, and friends/family use that to support us.
it might be true, but it's not that easy to judge unless you have seriously intimate knowledge of the relationship. you could try and judge by the manner of break out up, but that tends to be volatile a lot of the time anyway. on the other hand, you could try and judge by the persons character and or beliefs. again though, that might be a bit iffy assuming they don't have anything glaringly extreme. in general it's just a nice pick me up. however, i do think it can be true. it might not be some clear of mind realization, but it scrapping at the back of the skull doesn't seem too far fetched. rare but possible i suppose.
