waiting4u Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 No, I haven't broken up with him yet. I'm going to write a really nice handwritten letter and mail it - a compromise. Either that or get drunk and call him (since I'm gutless). In my defense, he lives three hours away by plane. Anyway, it's good to have a sense of humor, so here are the best breakup letters EVER: Ouch! The 10 Best Crappy Breakup Letters on the Internet - iVillage 1
CherryT Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 If you live 3 hours away by plane, why can't you just call him and tell him it's over? Or text? You won't bump into him or anything... I'd hate to think we were still together the week before and knowing a letter was in the mail waiting for me to receive it. 1
Author waiting4u Posted August 28, 2013 Author Posted August 28, 2013 If you live 3 hours away by plane, why can't you just call him and tell him it's over? Or text? You won't bump into him or anything... I'd hate to think we were still together the week before and knowing a letter was in the mail waiting for me to receive it. It's a problem. We haven't been dating long. I told him to give me space two weeks ago. I'm afraid he's going to flip out and be ugly about it. He's got a history of major depression. Plus, I'm just so nervous that I can't get up the guts to do it. I know. I suck. I've heard it. Read the link - I swear it's hilarious.
MrCastle Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 There was a really mean one I've seen before. It was via text message. Guy sent his girlfriend "Welcome To Dumpsville! Population: You" You know you smirked.
RedRobin Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 I read your link. Pretty clever. I noticed most of them were written by women, for some strange reason. I'm one of those people who believe that the opposite of love isn't hate. It's indifference. Try something novel. Short, to the point. Non emotional. Gives enough of an explanation so there is some closure. My personal favorite is "Our goals and values aren't compatible. Good luck in the future." 1
Imajerk17 Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 In all seriousness OP, if you and he hadn't communicated that way before, I really hope you aren't going to send the guy a letter. How will you know whether he got it for one thing, short of making him sign for it. I'd suggest an email, with an offer to talk on the phone if he so desires.
KRuss Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 I didnt look at link. Isnt it funny how we are supposed to treat others how we would like to be treated, but few do?
nescafe1982 Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 A letter? To a guy with a bad depression problem? Please, please tell me you've rethought that... it just seems inhumane. People with self-esteem issues are especially sensitive to being treated poorly, almost like you're confirming his negative self-image by not conferring a bit more respect. Didn't read the link, though. I'm sure it was funny. 1
