[Swedish] Girl calls into radio show called "Breakup Call" to breakup with her boyfriend on air. It doesn't quite go as expected... I'll post translation/comments in thread.

So according to the girl, her boyfriend was a "real sweetheart" in the beginning of the relationship, buying her romantic things and everything, but after they became official he completely turned around and became a totally different person. She's a "party girl" and likes to go partying Friday nights, while he prefers to stay home and game.

Skip to 2:25. R = Radio show host, gf = girlfriend and bf = boyfriend.

R: We're calling him now.

GF:Okay.

BF: Sup it's [some kind of nickname].

GF: It's Sarah.

BF: Hey.

GF: What's up?

BF: Oh you know, nothing much.

GF: Okay... You, uhmm, I've been thinking - and it might be completely fucked up doing this over the phone - but I just can't deal with this anymore. I no longer want to be with you.

BF: That so huh.

GF: So we're breaking up.

BF: Uh-huh. [Non-committal grunt basically.]

GF: Uh-huh.

BF: Uh-huh.

GF: There's just no man above the age of 12 who'd rather be playing computer games over going out on a Friday night.

[3:00]

BF: Nah?

GF: Uh-huh. And-

BF: That's your opinion, but sure, whatever.

GF: It's just not working out, okay?

BF: Ya.

[3:10]

GF: I've been giving so much [to this relationship], and now I'm feeling as though I'm not getting back as much as I used to in the beginning of this relationship. I feel like you've completely totally changed yourself.

BF: Yep.

GF: And this feels... okay with you?

BF: Uh yeaah... Yeah.

[3:31]

GF: What? But, like, yesterday you were saying that you loved me above everything else and today I'm calling you to break up and you, like, just don't give a fuck!?

[3:41]

BF: Yeah well it's not like it's such a big loss. [Referring to her.]

GF: Whaa- OH. COME. ON.

BF: Well, you're hearing yourself, aren't you? [Alternatively: "Just listen to yourself."]

[3:50]

GF: How the hell can you not care!? WE SPENT FIVE MONTHS TOGETHER! AND YOU REALLY DON'T GIVE A FUCK?

[4:00]

BF: Well, "care and care"... I just don't think that... [Trails off with exasperated sigh.]

GF: That it is so, that it is such a big deal??

BF: Exactly.

GF: Okay, fine, great. Clears throat. Just fucking great. Don't ever call me again.

BF: 'Kay.

GF: Yeah.

BF: Sure.

During this whole conversation, the guy is really just giving off a bored/nonchalant tone of voice, almost like he's talking to a kid. It's pretty hilarious, and it makes the whole thing seem as though HE's the one breaking up with HER.

Also I apologize if the sentences sound a little bit strange. It's because they are almost literal translations.

I love how he's like, "Well, it's not such a big loss. I mean, listen to yourself". The subtext is, "well, you're a bitch, so I'm better off."

There's just no man above the age of 12 who'd rather be playing computer games over going out on a Friday night.

Uh, I beg to differ.

ARealSocialIdiot · 2012-09-27T17:53:25+00:00

This is perfect. It just goes to show how much women's opinions of you can change when they realize that you can take them or leave them and it doesn't affect you one bit. She could just as easily have started chasing after him again in that scenario as finished breaking up with him.

Thanks for the translations OP. This shit is awesome. I imagine the dude was probably playing starcraft when she called him and was busy spamming apm while he was talking to her so he didn't give a fuck.

b_eazy · 2012-09-27T17:43:39+00:00

The suspense!

JakalDX · 2012-09-27T20:43:31+00:00

Sounds like the guy has his priorities straight. She obviously wanted him to have an emotional response, and he refused to give it to her. I'm sure the writing was on the wall, and he probably was realizing as much as she was that they weren't compatible. She wanted him to say "I'll give it all up, baby. Just gimme another chance", and he called her bluff.

2012-09-27T19:31:38+00:00

Sounds more like the guy wanted to break up and is relieved.

skunker · 2012-09-27T20:13:56+00:00

Sweet more gamin' time

floor-pi · 2012-09-27T21:24:57+00:00

You can't trust her version of events here. She's breaking up in the most dramatic way possible, and not only that, it's just a gambit. She's not in a right state of mind, and it sounds like the guy had learned that by this stage.

Thanks for the translation!

oliver_tate · 2012-09-27T21:18:08+00:00

Klassiker.

nekothecat · 2012-09-27T22:46:57+00:00

He probably been subtly pushing her to break up with him. I know cause ive done it.

romaineb · 2012-09-27T22:18:17+00:00

BF: Yep. GF: And this feels... okay with you? BF: Uh yeaah... Yeah.

Did anyone else hear the host chuckle after this part?

Shpirt · 2012-09-27T17:38:51+00:00

OP will deliver, I sure.

TheSimplyOG · 2012-09-28T05:17:28+00:00

who brokes up with someone on air?

montyy123 · 2012-09-27T20:52:54+00:00

What does this have to do with seduction though? I mean it was funny, but I really don't feel like it belongs here.
