Tony T Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Digital Dumping is quickly becoming an accepted way to end the relationship with your honey. Much easier than the past when you had to do it the old fashioned way, in person...Gawd forbid! Read here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35539011/ns/technology_and_science-love_in_the_digital_age/ If you've ever been digitally dumped, tell us about it. Wasn't it special? I suppose if you can find love in cyberspace, you can end it there as well. Fair enough.
Yamaha Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 One of my exes sent me 7 txts and 1 voice mail to tell me she is in-love with her ex bf and to never call, txt or see her. How special am I?
zacharoni16 Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Breaking up over text is such BS, it leaves absolutely no closure at all. Weeks after the break up you will feel more hurt because you just don't get that emotional sense of closure with it like you do in person, at the very least over the phone.
GrayClouds Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 It is just another way we have made it easier to be emotional disconnect to each other and foster an inability to experence real intimacy. We live in a throw a way society, we make it so much easier to throw things ways then to fix them, including relationships.
PrettyinInk Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 once through a myspace relationship status change. when questioned about it, he said he was angry when he did it, and was planning to change it back before i saw it... i told him not to bother another time through a text message, i was going to end the relationship anyway, and it wasn't very serious, but at least have the balls to do it face to face.
McGrupp Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 lets see, ex went off fbook (closed accoount). then when i called her she said she needed space. then sent me an email. then texted me some bs. then ended it when i called her. 3.5 years....then i asked to meet her up for some closure and she said ok, and was distant the whole time, and talking stuff that didnt make sense/ lyphe!
sunrae Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 I dumped a guy over text once. We only went out twice... The only way he wanted to communicate was via text 24 hrs a day 7 day a week and it drove me bonkers, especially when I was with my family. So, I told him over text I didnt want to text him anymore. He ended up being crazy.

JessaL Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Never been digitally dumped, but I recently read that if you're dating an iPhone owner you have a 1 in 3 chance of being dumped via text/email.
JessaL Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Never been digitally dumped, but I recently read that if you're dating an iPhone owner you have a 1 in 3 chance of being dumped via text/email. Or maybe the stat was that 1 in 3 iPhone users dumped someone via text/email...
sunrae Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Hmmmm....I'll have to write this one down....as something not to do... lol...I know it sounds bad. Normally, I wouldnt mind if it wasnt every 10 mins. the phone was blowing up.. Anyway. Normally I would have an actuall conversation with the person, but he loved to text. I would call and it would go to voicemail and then a few min later, he would text saying " I missed your call".. Yep, just wanted to "talk".
bananaboat11 Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 i was dumped via facebook a day after getting back together with her b/c she missed me .. and i'll be honest. i missed her too. but it just reminds me of how pathetic she really is.
alphamale Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Digital Dumping is quickly becoming an accepted way to end the relationship with your honey. i think i'm going to DD this chick i've been seeing. she is so nice that i can't tell her in person. oh well, better to DD than just disappear with no explanation i suppose
carhill Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 So, alpha, would you be DD'ing her if she had DD's?
alphamale Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 So, alpha, would you be DD'ing her if she had DD's? she does have DDs but i'm not that attracted to her face so i'm going to do the DD
carhill Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 So, a nice girl who didn't kiss on the first date and has double D's. All in all, a perfect candidate for DD'ing. Why flagellate yourself?
amerikajin Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 I digitally dumped a girl or two after a few dates, but we're talking like early on. If you've been dating for more than a month -- certainly if more than two or three -- I think you have to man/woman up and tell her either face to face or, if it can't be done as in the case of distance, over the phone. But I don't believe in just sending a text or an email and saying 'see ya'. Breaking up with them is bad enough...just being cavalier about it makes it worse.
Ingenue Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 I've been digitally dumped. My stellar ex of five years dumped me by email. It was one of those meandering, "I love you, I can't see us together, it's nothing you did wrong" pieces. I thought it was a cowardly thing to do that disrespected me as a person and demonstrated to me what a despicable piece of humanity he is. I did speak to him after 6 months of NC and he said it was a "blunder". He never once took responsibility or apologized for what he did, offering a non-apology instead. "I'm sorry you felt so bad". A few months after that, he had the audacity to contact me close to Valentine's Day to complain to me about how he missed our relationship because his current girlfriend wasn't doing it for him and how he missed me. He was fishing for information if I was dating another person and whether I saw any of those relationships lasting. That was last year. I haven't spoken to him since. Dumping a person is never a comfortable experience, but it does test your sense of humanity. My ex, had none.
openbook08 Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 Dumped after 5years by text message "dont call me & make this harder, bye sexy" that particular wkend he knew id be away from home at a strangers house where i only knew 1 person & wasnt due back till late the Sun. evening.... i am so special.
kimbop Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 The same ex kept on dumping me via text and email several times throughout the year. Then he would text me back saying that he made a mistake after leaving me in agony for a few days. Obviously, I was experiencing a prolong brain aneurism to buy the bs and stick with him. Anyway, I'm free and clear of that emotionally immature and incompetent man. At least when I broke up with him, I did it to his face like an adult. I'm proud of my actions and don't have any regrets. That's what counts. Self respect for yourself.
