*Lucy* Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 I'm not implying that I want to finish with my boyfriend but I wondered what people thought of the best and worst ways to break up..Is it better to break up thru a text or face to face or on the phone?And whats the worst way to split up?

Mouse Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Face to face definately. Texts and internet are for losers unless you have a really valid reason (i.e. can't see them in person) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Craig Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Originally posted by Stephen:worst way. recieving email/text bout itslightly better is fone callhardest but most honest wayface to face I completely agree with you..although I know from personal experience, that there can be barriers preventing people to sticking to their own morals...for me, it was a mix between being a long distance away, and thus face to face was almost impossible..

*Lucy* Posted February 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Yeah thats what I'd sayBut from my experience it hurts less if you don't have to answer the person straight away but I'd never do it to someone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Sleaping with someone else is often a good way to inform your soon to be ex-partner of the impending demise of your relationship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tav Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Emails...they are kind of insulting in a way, as are txts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Lucy* Posted February 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 I'd expect emails to be worse than texts although I have never been told that way.If someone ignores your calls and stands you up do they deserve a text?!

(Is that cruel?) Well ok that might be fine but if you are ending it and it's not because someone has done something bad then you should respect them enough to tell them to their face.

feeble! Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Haha, if you want to finish with someone who's been a bastard to you then just go for the e-mail/text approach. I guarantee you'll feel good for the next week if you do that. And don't even make it nice"yo, shithead. you're dumped - I'm afraid you're just too ugly/not cool enough to be seen with me. I'm sorry... Sorry you're such a jerk!"Send them that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonie Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 best txt ever:"welcome to dumpsvillepopulation - you!"alternatively, i would get your girlfriend/boyfriend round to your house and also get someone else you'd rather bend it up round, hide the newcomer in your wardrobe and then, when your partner is asleep, nail the other person and spaff in your partners face. then, in the morning, when your partner wonders what's all over their face, say it was the 'you're dumped faries' with their dumping serumit's a classy way to do itspoons X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Lucy* Posted February 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Thats the most imaginative idea I've heard! Any other original ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest you_nazi Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 i got dumped over msn (after the bloke said on a walk at the beach that he would never break up with someone over the phone or whatever).....CUNT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Dark Knight Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 well I've done both txt and face to face.and boy does face to face feel better! ^_^altho I didn't expect to be txted back straight away considering I txted at 3 in the morning. It just so happens she was at a sleep over with friends. Oh how glad am I I've not seen her or her friends since. I'm sure they threatended to have my balls cut off or something....eek!but doing it face to face in a public place is the best thing for it. It's so theraputic! Makes you feel mightier than the mightiest. Until a few days later when you wish you hadn't....but meh, it usually works out fine in the end anyways.still, best way I'd say is just to talk things through. Have one of those deep long conversation where you express your true feelings. Tell your partner the problem and what they can do to sort that, and also ask them if they have a problem with you and if you need to change anything. There's no need for break-ups without reason. I mean, fair enough if they cheat on you, you can let them have it. But if it's just because of a stupid reason, then work on it with your partner and eventually you'll overcome it. At least that's what should happen. I mean, why would you get together with someone if you're just going to dump them? Make it work, talk it out.and that's the end of that chapter...

lilacstarangel Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Txts are just a nasty way to do it, especially an hour before your first ever uni exam...grrr...! It should be done face to face; I would do it that way and have done, if u cant then its not very respectful to the other person! But do understand the distance thing, but maybe phone call would be best in that case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Dark Knight Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 well in my txt case, the other person lived in Insch. So I couldn't exactly just go there at 3am and tell them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catherine Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 texts are not nice. but sometimes it just happens. if you are texting someone and the conversation heads that way, then you cant really just wait a couple of days til you can see them to do it. me and ryan have split up twice through texts... i hated it the secohnd time. id have much prefered face to face so i could have talk about it more. rather than just getting texts ignored.now if i ever was to split up with someone i would do it face to face. just because relationships have become more serious to meand not just childs play of where dumping someone over msn or texts doesnt seem strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Craig Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 screw it. it's all the same in the end...Maybe get a plane to write a message in the sky? It's not exactly meant to be romantic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allstardawn Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 dont know about best way but DONT ignore the person for about 2 months in the hope you'll never have to speak to them again, because it just doesnt work. and it makes you feel guilty. yuh huh. i'm such a nasty little person.
