I'm going to against the grain here and say that I don't think her breaking up with him over text was really a big deal; I would never do it personally, but I kind of see why people do it. Cronos, if it's any consolation, let me tell you something: her breaking up with you in person probably would have sucked worse.

I remember when my ex and I had talked about what would happen if we broke up. And she was like, "yeah, I mean, I'd least have the dignity to do it in person, I'd never do it over text!"

When we did eventually break up, guess how she did it? Oh, right. Over text. And then I was like, "you promised you'd never do this!" And so we met up, a bunch of drama ensued...and then we broke up. I think the reason people do it over text is because it's not confrontational, and it probably saves a lot of heated or emotional arguments. Case in point: look at the response you sent to her. And then after you said something like that, you probably would've panicked, completely flipped your emotions and started begging for another shot at the relationship. At least, I know that's probably what I would have done. Breakups break you down and make you do stupid things.

I don't think anything rational that anyone tells you is going to help you right now, because breakups suck. I'm terrible with them. But just remember, you're mad that she broke up with you, not how she broke up with you. By comparison, the latter is trivial and inconsequential.

Hang in there man.

Haha. It's not as amazing as you might imagine, but you can put it together through the three key misspellings: the adjective "hugge" possibly regarding my friend's rooster, the noun "pussey" which really looks more like a gross adjective than a sexy-time noun, and the simple letter-swapped "isnide". Oh, and three exclamation points for awesome emphasis.
I am pretty excited about my next shift with this gal.

Regarding Cronos: Dude, that is weak, weak, weak. These days we just don't see enough face-to-face dumpings and the following deep-seated personal insults. You always think of the best one like a minute after the door shuts, though. I suppose that's a benefit of texting! You can unload some well-worded snide self-worth bombs on that weak-ass broad any time! I hope karma drops down a striking jeune femme at the next table from you at a coffee shop who bats her eyes at you, and starts a winning conversation about a mutual interest. You deserve that chick, not text-dumper gal.

It's still spineless.

My ex and I broke up in person during a discussion about issues we each had with our relationship. She told me her concerns, I told her I was planning on breaking up with her once the lease on our apartment ran up (a few months away), so she said she's willing to move out. I think that's the healthiest way to do it. There was no yelling and probably helped both of us realize what we need in a person to have a long term relationship.

Yeah, me too. Cowardice.

If it's a drunken hookup or a couple dates or something, then there's not really a breakup and text or whatever is fine. If there's a genuine relationship going on, I think there's an obligation to do it properly. And people have the right to be upset and make a scene. Those are the stakes when you get involved with other people's lives. Doing it via text doesn't actually avoid any pain, it's just a cowardly attempt to avoid having to see it.

Sorry to hear about this, Cronos.
