Ever been dumped via e-mail/text message?

[MrPryck2U]

Well, I guess since this is Zoo Confessionals, I'm looking for some confessions.

Have you ever been dumped via an e-mail or a text message?

A couple of years ago, I was dumped by an ex via an e-mail. Immediately afterward, I tried to get in touch with her, but she never spoke to me again. We did exchange text messages and e-mails, but I never saw her face again or heard her voice. I was with her for 3 1/2 years.

When I first started dating this ex a number of years ago, I did actually break up with her via a text message after we had only been seeing each other a few months. But, the reason for that was because we were having this ridiculous argument via text messages and it eventually escalated into me dumping her. A few weeks later, we did get back together and we lasted a few more years, but she finally got rid of me via e-mail. For many months afterward it hurt like a motherfucker. I had helped her and her family through many tough times. But sometimes, all good things must come to an end.

Yeah, when I was 14, lol. Actually, we both knew it "wasn't going to work out" and one night he IMed me for good, saved me the trouble.

You can't text message break up!

 

[MrPryck2U]

You can't text message break up!

Sure you can! It's the rage of the 2000's.

 

[starsgoblue]

You can't text message break up!

That video is hilarious.

 

[Galeongirl]

Via im yes. He kindly told me he was back together with his ex.

 

[Pearl]

It never happened to me, but I've done it.

The guy was a jerk anyway.

 

[MrPryck2U]

That video is hilarious.

What video?

 

[MooMoo!]

Well, I had an internet "boyfriend" who I never met who I dumped by email.

The whole duration of the "relationship" took place online anyway, so it was only fitting.

That doesn't count.

Never by email or text but my first love broke up with me by writing it in my yearbook in 11th grade. He told me not to read what he wrote until I got home but I thought it was going to be something all lovey-dovey so I read it between classes and felt like I got punched in the stomach

 

[lauramullen]

You should do it in person

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

You should do it in person

Always in person.

Otherwise you're a coward.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Always in person.

Otherwise you're a coward.

Well, in my case, this ex sometimes had a problem with confrontations. Obviously, she felt this was an easier way. Afterward, she did confess, via an e-mail, that it was wrong to do.

But, yes, I did feel her move was cowardly as well. Full grown adults shouldn't be doing that sort of thing through an e-mail. She never had any concern that I was going to wig out on her. She just didn't want to do the dirty work in person.

That's just awful

Jesus, that's horrible! Did you ever get any sort of revenge on the dude?

 

[starsgoblue]

I think BAW wins. That's just low!

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

Yes, my boyfriend from college dumped via email. It was not pretty and he is still apologizing about it to this day for his cowardly act. Mind you that was 1997.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Wins? Are you kidding me? This ain't no competition. This is a confessional. There are no winners or losers. Only stories.

Almost always. Some classless jerks don't deserve a dignified booting

But I've personally always done it in person/over the phone. Never had it done to me.

 

[MooMoo!]

That doesn't count.

Well there was dumping and emails involved. Closest Ive got.

 

[U2Girl1978]

I got dumped via aol im after traveling all the way to connecticut, spending the weekend together and saying I love you to each other. We met through a stupid aol chat room. He was a disgusting piece of shit anyways since he was trying to get in a bunch of girls pants. Even my own sister and a really good friend(or so I thought).

I also got dumped via email 2x. But I remained friends with the both of them.

Wow that's really harsh.

Settle down?

Well yeah, the phone is acceptable, too. My last ex broke up with me over the phone.

 

[Sicy]

Settle down?

He's Italian.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

He's Italian.

 

[Pearl]

Soooo, since I broke up with some guy via e-mail, does that make me a coward? I mean, the reason why I did was because I was afraid of getting into a shouting match over the phone. Besides, we met online, so I figured an e-mail would be the way out, since that was the way it began.

And like I said, the guy was a total jerk and I regret to this day even bothering to go out with him.

 

[MooMoo!]

I guess you could argue you're just ending it the way it started.

Didnt Phil Collins divorce his wife by fax? Thats like the email of its day.
