From break + -ee.

Meanings

1. (rare) One who is broken, or with whom a relationship is broken.
   • A breaker must inform the breakee of the dissolution of the MAD relationship directly and face-to-face, unless the grounds for the breakup is terminal noncompliance such as neglect or infidelity. 2001, Jeff Wise, The Universal Dating Regulations and Bylaws, page 177:
   • The nonmarital breakee may indeed be relieved not to be caught up in the divorce industry or railroaded by a plot to make an enemy of someone whom he or she once loved. 2013, Brian H. Spitzberg, William R. Cupach, The Dark Side of Close Relationships, page 298:
   • Whether you are the breaker or the breakee, you can expect to suffer loss. 2009, Les and Leslie Parrott, Relationships: An Open and Honest Guide to Making Bad Relationships Better, page 157:
