ponchsox Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 My ex GF dumped by via phone after 1 1/2 years. What a coward. Didn't even have the guts to meet me face to face. That showed me a side of her that I'm glad I found of sooner than later.
LuvsTrucks2 Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 My worst experience was when my first husband and I separated, he basically told me out of the blue, "I think you should stay at your Mom's this weekend and not come back."
JDPT Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Focus on looking ahead and moving forwards. No need to dwell on the past. Let to of hope for a better past. 1
Simon Phoenix Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 I don't think there is a good way to be dumped. Seems silly to rank the worst -- they all pretty much suck.
BC1980 Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 I don't think there is a good way to be dumped. Seems silly to rank the worst -- they all pretty much suck. I agree that there is no good way to get dumped. I got a face to face dumping, and it was pretty awful. To be honest, I wish it had been over the phone because then he would never have seen me cry.
Phoe Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 All 3 of my exes dumped me in lame ways. One via instant messenger, one via myspace message, and one by text. 1
Mariposa10 Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 All 3 of my exes dumped me in lame ways. One via instant messenger, one via myspace message, and one by text. Are you serious? How old are these guys?? That's horrible.
Phoe Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Are you serious? How old are these guys?? That's horrible. The first 2 were several years ago, they were both 18 (says a lot haha). The one who dumped me by text was 27 at that time.
ColdAlone Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 (edited) Actually they are all very similar, or at least a couple of them are. I get a lingering feeling, not unfounded btw, and I push for something... A decision, whatever. And then it happens. I have this thing where I want to hear they love me, so I'm in a 'whats it gonna be' mode. And that ends up in a breakup. Am trying to correct the last one. Although I'm certain it would correct itself eventually. I'm just trying to do things differently this time. Get rid of old habbits. Edited October 26, 2013 by ColdAlone
Transplant Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 I got the 'When I come back to my apartment, I don't want to see you there,' via text...my car was 3000 miles away; made it tricky but I improvised
faithfully Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Mine was via text!!! We were arguing and told him how he doesnt appreciate me and treats me badly. Think he thought i was gonna break it off with him so he thought he would do it first!! Even tho wouldnt have broken up with him.
Sugarkane Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 The ex that brought me here- Dumped out of the blue, by text after a year. Yet told me I couldn't communicate. Never gave me closure. I haven't spoken to him to this day. Everyone took side and cut me off. No closure from anyone. Psycho ex- dumps me by text because he "wants to be single". Contacts me months later begging to meet me for coffee. Never does and wants to use me for sex. I say no. He blows up my phone with verbally abusive messages. Gloats his life is better without me. Should've gone to the police. Snoop on Facebook, he has a new gf. I would've never known this without snooping.
Fufu Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 My ex of 3 years, nearly gotten engaged, dumped me via Skype text.
Author ponchsox Posted October 26, 2013 Author Posted October 26, 2013 Electronic communication is such a cowards way of breaking up. I swear people today lack respect and the ability to communicate face to face. Anyone I date for a significant amount of time I owe them the respect to talk to them in person. It doesn't make it easier, but it makes closure for bth a little easier. The same person who can break up a LTR relationship via text could walk away from a marriage the minute they are unhappy. 1

The same person who can break up a LTR relationship via text could walk away from a marriage the minute they are unhappy. Electronic communication has made it really easy to be lazy. It's also made it really easy to send countless lame breadcrumbs. My ex pretty much texted me non-stop for 2 months, but we only saw each other twice. It's such a lazy way to carry on with someone. I mean, if he wanted to genuinely get back together, he could have made an effort to see me.
Transplant Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 I agree with you, even though I don't even know if closure is a real thing. But who are these people breaking up via text? That's so pathetic. I was told that 'I felt like there was no other way to do it' - it was just the easiest way for her to do it, I guess and I'm not arguing that because it is probably the easiest way to break up with someone but I would never do it that way (especially after having it done to me) and that's probably what makes me the most uneasy about it. But, when it's over, it's over. I didn't expect her to break up with me so I certainly couldn't expect how she would do it...Even at the end, she still found a way to surprise me; well played, I guess???

That's so pathetic. You ask who are these people. Well they're grown adults aswell. Some people on here have been dumped this way by people in their 40s, 50+
Nicoleiia Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Me and my ex were talking about dumping people one night. She said "oh, I would never dump someone via text message, thats so tacky!". Then, the next day she dumps me via text message. What a loser!

Chi townD Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Caught her cheating on me, confronted her with it. She got mad and called me a loser. That I was happy working dead end jobs, That I was never going to College and she was going to go with someone that had a future. I proved her wrong on all accounts! Actually, I should thank her for giving me the motivation to make those positive changes in my life. 3
