I would rather have it be short and simple and removed (like a text message)rather than have them come to my house and make a spectacle out of it and apologize profusely.
So which is it ladies and gentlemen? Text message breakup, or live, in your face dumping?
This is hard...I hate when they come tell you face to face. It isn't fun and it hurts a lot more. But at the same time, when they do it over text, I feel like they really just didn't give a damn about me.
I kinda agree with you. I would rather have been told that way than never hearing from the person. In person is much harder.
depends on how serious the relationship is. most of my past ones (actually, ALL of my past relationships) i would have been fine with a text, email, or phone break up. if both of you know it's over, and you're just not feeling it, then yeah. i think it's preferable. short and to the point.
for something like a serious marriage/life partner deal, where at least one of you is still very in love with the other person, then i think face to face might be better, unless you've tried talking it out/working it out numerous times, and there's just nothing left to say.
I have been dumped both ways and I can honestly say that I much rather be dumped in person. This is especially true if you have been going out for a while. Separating or breaking up should be as all other things in a relationship,even though you are ending it, personal and between you and you significant other. Breaking up over text messages or facebook or anyother networking site you belong to is a way for you to be able to do something with out feeling guilty. It is much easier for you to say something through text emails because of the separation of reactions or emotions. You can use body language when face to face to show how you feel but not through text. Being too scared to confront someone who you should be able to share anything with is pretty pathetic and shows that you have no spine. And in today's day and age I believe that texting and online messaging is making the world full of pussies and whimps. Basically what I am saying is if your going to break up with someone at least have the courtesy and the "balls" to say it in person.
I personally would be insulted if I had been in a relationship with someone for a while and they chose to break up by text message. But i can understand not wanting it to drag out and dealing with lots of hurt feelings and perhaps awkwardness afterwards.
But I like face to face breakups.
I think i would prefer to be dumped by text as well, but i rekon most girls would prefer it in person for some reason. i think they would honestly prefer a text its just that it shows more confidence and respect if you do it to their face, either that or it makes you look mean and cocky. you cant win with girls, however you decide to break up with them, you will always lose.
We should go out sometime. I usually use text or facebook to break up with my boyfriends, I can't stand being at the breakup scene and seeing their faces. I prefer this both ways, both being the dumper and the dumpee.
