do you think writing an email can be a chickens way out?

i am a young person (27) and i would perfer to tell the person in person that they are being dumped but sometimes it doesn't work out that way. the guy ends up doing something to make me give him another chance so sometime email is easier and then you can deal with them after and then there is sometimes i can't even get a hold of the person so email is the only way that i can get anywhere with it. email isn't avoiding confrontation its confrontation in a different way. your hubby could have responded to the email either by email or person but he could have responded to it.

I think in your case, email was a really inappropriate method of communication. If it was just a casual thing, then I would say email might be more efficient, and therefore reasonable. However, being fired or kicked out a group over an email is really just rude. You get no chance to listen to an explanation, or to try to argue your point with him.

I think it's pretty cowardly to not tell someone like that to their face. It's a little harder to do but it's the courtesy thing to do. I personally would be really upset to get an email like that. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

I think people who do crap like that over the internet are heartless and spineless! When it comes to a situation where you are leaving someone (whether is be breaking up with a partner, or firing someone) you should do it face to face. First of all, it gives thta person more respect, and it won't hurt them as much. Doing it over email, with a letter, or through text messaging is just MEAN!

That is cold.I recall back home that someone did get the boot via an email.I believe that firing a people should be done the old fashioned way or get some one to do it for you if you want to avoid confontation with them. As for your husband i will not take that lying down cos after all hubby is his senior and he ought to let that person know that what is appropriate and what is not.

I agree, That was just wrong. If you dont have the guts to do it in person then dont do it at all. If I was your husband I would confront the person and explain how his method hurt his feelings. Hopefully the guy will learn from this and not do it again.
