German police had to help a man in Ludwigshafen break up with his girlfriend.

The unidentified man walked into a police station to seek advice, and it only gets funnier from there. USA Today reported:

His problem was a personal one: He wanted to break up with his girlfriend but did not know how. He just did not understand her anymore, he said.

One of the female officers took him aside and proposed several alternative scenarios. The police force did not describe what options had been suggested to the man, but were very clear that the actual breaking-up was a job he would have to do himself.

This is so embarrassing. What is with people these days? If you don’t like somebody, then just break up with them. This isn’t rocket science or nuclear engineering. It’s simple relationship advice. Has the entire world gone soft on me?

You’re a complete loser if you run to the police for help because of your girlfriend. The only reason to ever do that is if you think your girlfriend might try to kill you. I can’t think of any other possible explanation for why the police would need to get involved.

I don’t want to cast the entire country of Germany as weak, but I might not have a choice. It’s just such a poor look that there’s no other way to spin it.
