When you want to break up with someone, should you text?

it is better to break up in person.rather than doing it in text.it is very lame to break-up through text.it is better to end a relationship with proper closure.it is easier to move on.it is better to talk out your issues before parting ways.

absolutely no! Talk to the person face to face. I konw it will hurt her or him completely but its the most acceptable.

personally if ever i have to breakup from a person i would prefer to meet the person and tell him of my decision , giving him enough time to explain his version too ,if any.thats what i did when i decided to walk out of a abusive relationship.sometimes it gets difficult this way but atleast you don't have any regrets later that you were unfair at any point.i don't think this is possible in break up using text as there are so many more things to a relationship besides words

I believe the cell phone should only be for practical use, we can call, text when it is really important but to convey feelings through the cell phone is not appropriate to me though. I prefer talking to someone face to face to tell him/her an important matter.

I think that it much better to talk to him/her in person, Im not comportable in text messages, you cant elaborate the whole situation, so its much better to communicate peronally than thru texting.

If you liked this person enough to date them, then please extend them the courtesy of a face-to-face breakup. No-one deserves to be dumped vis texts or emails, that is hurtful and unfair. Despite modern technology, good old fashioned manners will should still be at the forefront of any important conversations. Remember, do unto others......

Absolutely not. If at all possible, breaking up should be done in person. Not over the phone, not in a letter or email, and definitely not in a text...or in text speak! Can you imagine getting a text message that says "I don want 2 C U NEmore"???
