Dumped!

It has mostly occured face to face. I dont know that I have been ever been dumped via the web or email. It is something that I think should be done face to face, but things are not always done in an ideal way unfortunately. I wish that they were. I guess we all need soemthing different.

Hi Humbug..no in one word I have never been dumped in any of those ways..only face to face..nowadays teenagers etc have no respect for each other and choose the cowardly way out by texting or doing it on facebook..sad really but true..hugs littleowl

no not really. I broke up with someone once, I just called him on the phone and we talked. so it wasn't even a phone message, let alone text or e-mail. Why dumped someone on a website? I mean I'm not taking sides but I don't see why they can't just write in their blog that they broke up, not necessarily the dumping itself.

hello humbug25.. same here i was been dumped by text message.. this former boyfriend is the father of my baby.. he leave me when i'm still pregnant, he went to another city for him to work there, without knowing that he's already having commitment with another girl..he texted me one time, explaining that he doesn't love me anymore..it's so depressing, it hurts me so much..i'm thinking that he did that way because he dont want him to see me, what's my reaction if he will said to me in person..but it's been almost 4yrs now,i'm happy with my life with my daughter and we don't have communication anymore..but i already forgiven him on what he did to me..past is past..happy mylotting

Hello humbug! You're right. People are getting crazy nowadays. Technologies have been abused and have been used by those coward people. I don't think dumping people through text message and some social networking site is the craziest thing to do. I never tried to be dumped through text message or through facebook or friendster and would never be and I never tried to dumped someone through those method and would never be.

Thankfully I haven't ever been dumped by any of these methods however my ex boyfriend whom I was with for 5 years broke up with me oevr the phone which I thought was really awful to do, espicially after being with him for 5 years. I'm not sure if this is becuase he didn't want to see how upset I was and that he wouldn't have been able to cope with me the state i was in, I don't know! Breakin up by text or my facebook is really disgraceful!

Hi Humbug, I might of dumpped someoe from a Phone call. but no never Text or facebook. How are you/ I hope things are good! have a nice week sweetheart!

Personally I think any person that does it in any other form other than in person, has some Growing up to do. Have they ever thought what if someone did it to them that way as well? I know back in my Dating yrs. this was something that could never have been done as I was in my 31 even when Windows 95 even came out. And that wsa before Text Messaging, etc. for sure. But personally I think that is the Lazy way out and teaches no accountability for your actions for sure.

Yes, i always prefer dumping girls online... it makes it alot easier for me, and hopefuly for her too.. As a coincidence, this morning i broke up with my girlfriend... and i was talking to her on aim messenger... come to thing about it.. i only broke up with a girl face2face when i was really really drunk.. i don`t think i could do it otherwise, i feel to bad...

My last relationship ended when my boyfriend broke up with me in a text message. I was especially surprised because our relationship was going so well! It was completely out of the blue! It probably would have bothered me less to be broken up via text message if the relationship had completely fizzled out and we were fighting all the time and we both knew it was coming. But I thought everything was going great, then suddenly I get a text saying we should just be friends! That was pretty upsetting. I later found out that the reason he broke up with me was because his family thought he was too young to be in a serious relationship (he was 22) and that he should be out dating lots of women and being young and single and having fun, so they pressured him into breaking up with me. He regretted doing it and said his relationship with his family hasn't been the same since. But yah, no matter what the reasons, you shouldn't dump someone online or with a text message or even on the phone. Face to face is always best. Maybe text break ups or instant message break ups are appropriate for 12 year olds, but not for adults.

i've only had 2 relationships, which happened YEARS ago, and it ended through text & myspace lol.

Modern technology seems to replace a lot of moral things and issues. I dont think its right at all. People are humans with feelings and should be treated as such and not replied to or spoken to by machine. Luckily when I was younger, there were none of these devices so people had to do things face to face, or often they got a friend to do it which is wrong too. The only other alternative then, would have been the phone and that happened a lot between people when i was younger. If someome were to dump me by text, I certainly would never take them back!..In fact, I would wonder who they were with while they did it!

i have dumped my first boyfriend thru texting.. but were not fighting the time i broke up with him. it was calm scenario i guess.. i had to do it in text, coz i wouldnt have the courage to do it if i had to say it front of him.. i know he will be sad and probably wont accept my decision if i said it in front of him. i dont want to see him like that so i decided to set him free via text. and it went well, i believe so.. we havent had communication again after. thats what he want and i respect that. they said it was rude to break up with him thru text,but i guess it depends to him if it sound rude or not. i just thought that i was best for us to break that time and the most appropriate way for us to break up is thru text. if im wrong, then im sorry..

unfortunately yeah, i have been dumped via text message.. i knew it was coming cause my then boyfriend and i weren't seeing each other anymore and he always says he's busy since he was graduating already that time.. i kept on asking if we can somehow at least meet in person talk things over but he kept insisting he doesnt have the time to do so even if his school is just a ride away from mine.. i dont wanna wait for him in school or go to his house cause i didnt wanna seem real desperate.. but yeah, he said he wants time off.. even if i really didnt want to, i knew i just had to let it be since if he really doesnt want me he cant waste any more time with me..

I've never been dumped like that but I will say that just this past weekend I spent time with a guy who I thought had potential to be my boyfriend and I learned that we are not going to work out. Instead of us telling each other so it seems as though we just didn't call each other. This is kind of weird to me seeing as though we used to talk everyday all day. I feel like any breakup that is not done in person is a sign of the person being a bit of a coward though. I mean, some people feel uncomfortable doing stuff like that or they don't like possible confrontation but to me its the best way to have closure to a unhappy situation...I guess I need to go ahead and call this guy and let him know he won't be hearing from me anymore...

I do think that dumping people using text messages is so impersonal. I think that the person involved should have the guts to face the other person face to face in a civilised manner. The fact that things have not worked out does not mean that we should not continue to respect each other and talk in a civilised way

The last time I split up with someone...I don't think it was actually one dumping the other...we just split up...was years ago and it was done face to face. However, I do remember reading not long ago about a woman that got a call from a childhood friend asking her if she was ok, did she need her to come and comfort her, was she going to be ok, ect. The woman had no idea what her friend was talking about. The friend told her to look on Facebook and there for the world to see was an annoucement posted by the womans husband saying that he was divorcing her!! He'd never told her and she had no idea he was doing it. Had her friend not called and told her she probably wouldn't have found out till she was served. To me that's gutless. You have to be a pretty big coward to break up with someone or file for a divorce and then tell them through text message, an online site or an email. Be an adult and do it upfront. The only way I could justify doing it the other way is if the person is violent and you don't want them to know where you are or your scared of them. For about the last week, I've had a toothache that is making me insane. I have 2 teeth on the same side of my mouth...one on the top and one on the bottom that need to be ripped out. The one on the bottom is in the back but not a wisdom. The one on top is right next to my 2 front teeth and is causing me pain in my sinus', under my eye and in my cheek. I went to the dentist Friday thinking he would pull them but he says their infected so I have to take antibiotics first. I have to deal with this till the 6th. He also put me on Hydrocodone and the two meds together are kicking my butt. I'm either awake and in pain or passed out with no pain. I seem to only be able to stay awake about 3 hours at a time and then I'm falling asleep again. Hot or cold food or drink kills me unless I use a straw and put it way back in my mouth away from my teeth. It doesn't help that I have no insurance so the cost of pulling them is going to be on us to pay. I really with they'd just put me out and pull them all but everyone says I'm too young for that. What's your worst toothache story? What was the last major pain you had? If given the chance would you rather pull your teeth all at once or wait till each one goes bad?

No I have not. I also think it is something that should be done face to face. My boyfriend now, his last girlfreind dumped him all the time via text message. She would dump him and then a couple days later say she didn't mean it so then they would be back together and then a week later she would dump him again via text message. I think that is very immature!

So, I personally have never been dumped in such a way. I've gotten text messaged with the foreshadowing 'We need to talk' before, but never a 'We're breaking up' text message. I have, unfortunately, dumped someone before over Myspace, but that was mainly due to the fact that I didn't have my phone on me that week and he didn't live in the same state as me. Otherwise I usually use the phone to call them and explain why I'm breaking up with them.

Well I havn't been dumped by any of those methods. I think once when I was 11 I told the guys mate to tell him that I dump him (but what you expect, 11 is so little hehe) Hmmmmmmm oHhh I remember I texted one guy a year ago saying to him I think we should be friends. .
