Oh, I’m supposed to get the ring back, too

He’s not exactly Cupid, that’s for sure. Bernd Dressler is a guy who, if you give him $68, will go tell people that you’re breaking up with them. 

“It’s not you, it’s me,” “I just need some space,” or whatever lame thing you want him to say, while he’s dodging plates, mugs, vases or other handy missiles. He’s helped end 200 relationships in the past 11 months, and it only takes about three minutes to do the deed, so actually the money isn’t bad.

Of course, hiring Dressler is a sleazy, disgusting way to break someone’s heart. Thankfully, most people still take the far more honorable route - getting an unlisted phone number and changing their locks. It’s just the decent way to behave.  Here’s the story:
