Be it friend or SO. Did you do it in person, text, email, or a letter?

Saw this link (enclosed below) and found it interesting how we say our goodbyes. Some are nice about it, others are mean.

(on the slide show) Apparently one guy felt the need to tell her the dog even hates her too

I keep it simple and just say I don't see a future together (as far as SOs) and break contact. Yes I break contact so that they may have time to settle in to the fact that I am moving on and so should they. It's hard to put boundries back up once they have been open.

With friends, once I get to the point where it is not a happy friendship (mainly they are too negative or it is a very unbalanced friendship) I try to let them know how I feel... and if all else fails, I say what I have to say and break contact.

I've never been the breaker, always the breakee....

And they all go way back before the electronic age, so pretty much they were in person.

The last one was via a deputy serving divorce papers, however.

The others were a lot more civilized, and in most cases, we remained friend.

Just slip out the back, Jack. Make a new plan, Stan.

No need to be coy, Roy.

I've found the quickest and most fun way ...

is to sleep with one of her friends.

And then the next time you are in bed with her...call out the friend's name

It's really a nice touch.

OK I've actually never broken up with anyone, so I'm full of sh!t, but I'm guessing that would be the ride of a lifetime.

Seriously, a text breakup?

Back in the MSN/AIM days, that's how I did it.

Never broken up with anyone in person, nor have I been broken up with in person

In my "Civie" dating years ago I just stopped calling them.

Just did it to a couple of girls. I saw no real future with them and rather than outright saying I don't want to see you anymore I just ignored their calls (there was no email or texting back then, thank goodness)

I packed her shit and took it to her mother's house

That taught the little tramp a lesson and she wasn't too happy that I fucked her best friend the day before.

Look, we were 19 and weren't right for each other anyhow. She couldn't even cook.

I was naive lol

met a cool dude, sex was great, chemistry was great, so moved him in with me...

We had been dating for a few months

For whatever reason, he had never gone done on me... and I have no idea why I did not bring this up lol

So 2xnd night in my apt... we are going at it... and I bring it up

he says flat out he doesn't do that

I just flipped.... hence a argument for the next 2 days...

I am like
well I just CAN NOT be happy with a guy who refuses...
I kicked him out ( lived with me 4 whole days) and never talked to him again :

I will relate the worst way I was broken up with tho

when my BF and I first broke up in June 2007, I had a FEELING something was up... there were labeled boxes in the garage... I asked, he said he was organizing...

I guess I wanted to believe that...

He picked me up from my regular job on Sat... he pulls over before we get home... we run into the store... my son gets in the car, before I get in... he stops me, kisses me and says "I love you I need you to be calm... just know I love you"

I am totally confused, but as we turned our corner, I see a UHUAL fully loaded in the driveway

Thats how he told me...

We did work it out, but that has been the worst wa

So... Why do you think he thought he had to hijack you ...

... And don't say "I don't know".

no he told me that he did it this way because

One, he knew I needed to work... and he knew if he had told me, I would not have gone to work... and I needed my job...

But in the end, I quit a month later, and returned to this because I lost his income...

He knew how I get emotionally... and I can break down emotionally... and he was trying to do this the easiest way, and cleanest way for our kids, and not have them see me break down...

He was trying to do it cleanly, with less hurt...

I did end up being hurt.. not so much angry, but this has left something in my memory... maybe it was a good way, it was a learning lesson..
