Break it to me Gently!..

right now textin or calling for a break up is normal...so i wont do anything...i'll just accept the truth....and move on...thats it....

im guilty to that. i broke up with my bf thru text. i thought it was the best thing to do. my reason is if i break it to him in person, i know i could never do it. i explained my side but of course he was badly hurt. now we're friends but it's like there's a wall between us. months later i found out he's dating someone else. i thought i was happy for him but no i was totally crashed.

my daughter had that happen to her a few months back. her boyfriend of over a year broke up with her over the internet...left a message on myspace. It broke her heart. They were set to move in together and she thought all was fine between them. He would not answer her calls or respond to messages over the internet...just cut her off. I listened to her cry and stress for days and weeks...confused as to what she had done. My take was that she had done nothing and that their relationship just wasn't all that she thought it was. She deserved an explanation from him face to face The way he went about it spoke volumes about his character. I always liked this kid but I saw him differently and lost a lot of respect after this little stunt. Eventually she moved on and found someone else, guess what? now he wants her back. She got over him and saw him for what he was. so will you. you can do better that.

i think in a 'normal' relationship where there is no fear of what the other will say or do if you told them then its just the cowardly way out in my eyes. if you have nothing to be scared of with your partner then you shoul have the decency to tell them face to face. It would hurt me if i was told something like that by text as i would like to at least have the respect of a phone call!

That will be okay if our "relationship" had purely been through text messages. If not, then absolutely i wouldn't agree and will definitely be more hurt. Breaking up is never easy. There's lot of pain and even our everyday routine gets affected. Even if there was a previous disagreement over something still a text message to end it all is never fair. Breaking up through text message is a cowardly act, totally unfair and definitely not the best way to end a relationship.
