History Main / DumpThemAll

This is a SpoileredRotten trope, that means that ''every example'' on this list is a spoiler by default and they will all be unmarked. You have been warned.

* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'': In "Boyz Crazy", after Wendy is freed from Robbie's hypnosis (and subsequently dumps him), Dipper asks if she wants to hang out. Understandably upset (and perhaps seeing through Dipper's attempts to hide his crush), she calls both him and Robbie out for trying to manipulate her and stomps into the forest.

* Implied by necessity to start Chitose's route in ''Videogame/GalaxyAngel'': Moonlit Lovers. Much like the beginning of the first game, the story picks up where Tact was chilling with Lester. While this is treated innocently enough with no presumptions, the only way to get there in the first game is to horrifically screw the LastSecondEndingChoice with the chosen girl, leaving you with a painful breakup after spending the entire game trusting each other. As it is treated as a Bad End, this is only a partial example.

* ''VideoGame/Persona5 Royal'' inverts this if you try to be a HaremSeeker. Come [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18Qt9zc1S7k Valentine's Day]] and you have two or more girlfriends, [[RussianReversal THEY all dump YOU]]. [[YouBastard You Bastard]].

* The ''Ami'' subseries of the classic hentai OVA series ''Cream Lemon'' ends with the titular heroine rejecting both of her principal suitors to focus on her music career.

* Happens in ''LightNovel/{{Haganai}}'', where Kodaka individually shoots down every character, saying he'd rather not change the status quo.

There are many ways for a romance arc to end. Sometimes there is a normal hookup, one or both die, or [[NoRomanticResolution the situation is left ambiguous]]. There are more options involved when in a love triangle, however. For example, apart from the previous scenarios the character may [[MarryThemAll pick several of their options at once]]. But sometimes they go the opposite direction and reject all of their options. As such, they '''Dump Them All'''.

A specific variation of TakeAThirdOption. Contrast MarryThemAll and NoRomanticResolution.

'''''Note:''''' This is a SpoileredRotten trope, that means that '''EVERY SINGLE EXAMPLE''' on this list is a spoiler by default and they will all be unmarked. [[Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned This is your last warning]], only proceed if you really believe you can handle this list.

* In the backwards episode of ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'', one woman chooses this solution.

* At least one season of ''Series/TheBachelor'' has ended with the bachelor rejecting both of the final two women.
* [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] in one episode of ''Series/{{Friends}}''. Phoebe is dating two guys, but she can't decide which one she likes more. In the end, they both dump her. One of the guys learns she slept with the other and not him. The other, being a fireman, is upset she arranged a candlelit dinner in the park for the other, as this involved [[ComicallyMissingThePoint an open flame in a wooded area]].
