cry.gif to break up by text message? im the biggest wuss i know and i dont think i can stand doing it face to face or even by calling. but the text message wont be simple. ive drafted and re-drafted loads of what i was going to say. so do you guys think its okay to do it? thankss.
Vera
Ehhh...yeah I would call it lame. (Sorry). I wouldn't be very peppy if my non-existant boyfriend dumped me by text message. It may seem tough to do it face to face but after you do it, it will probably feel a lot better than texting. Good luck!

Talk about a f**king pussy.
Listelle
Yeah, its lame. Sorry.

Suck it up and make the call. Both of y'all are going to live.

Dont do that. Your setting yourself up for disaster. Not only would you be breaking up with them over text which is lame but they could show the text to all their friends which is even worst because then you have to deal with everyone who has seen the text. Do it face to face if not over the phone.
silver-rain
Yeah, like everyone said, it's lame. Don't do it; it is much better to do it face to face.
mylittleMiracle
yeah: (

I would have no respect for someone who could not take full resposiblity for their own actions and break-up with me in the most personal way possible (face-to-face being the most personal). Texting someone to break-up with them is rediculously cowardly...

I can't stand people who can't break up with someone face to face! This will totally make things worse than just breaking up with them in person. I mean come on, a text message?!?! wacko.gif
xTINAA
WOw. That's lame.
What are you scared of with breaking up face to face or even through a phone call? If it's hurting the person, you should know you'll hurt them so much more by doing it through a stupid text message. Text messages are meant for quick little messages, not something as big or important as breaking up.
Just2Fresh
I think we scared the poor girl.
iROCKYOURSOCKS
ugh that is really lame...i mean if this person ever ment something to you then actually go and break up with him face to face. im sorry but that seems like a really low and rude way to break up with someone.
brownsugar
Oh, come on. The guy deserves better than THAT. Would you want someone to do that to you? It is pretty lame. Doing it in person wouldn't be that bad. Even on the phone would be better. _smile.gif

dayuum that's true though, If I were you and if the dude was going to show something like that to all his friends, save the embarassment. But I ain't here to rag on you. THough it may be a lame way to breakup, you gotta have at least some sense of pride. are you going to do that with every boyfriend you have? if so then you need to step up your game..if your scared of hurting him..theres always a reason for everything..If you wanna break up with the man but your scared to do it..your just going to stress your self over your own mistake. so instead of text messaging him..call him..or see him face to face..WORDS DON'T MEAN ANYTHING IF THERES NO ACTION INVOLVED..it'd be koo to remember that..just like them sill IM fights, you can say some mean shit to the person and cuss 'em out, but theres no action involved so it won't mean shit unless you do something right? lol nuff said you should get the picture by now

Wow, how lame.
Do it in person.
Janette
Pftt. Don`t even call, just meet up and do it then.
Aerjae
That is so lame. He's probably scared your gonna beat him up or something if he tells you in person.
BrokenDream
Seems like everyone agrees; it's lame.
Just meet up and then breakup! Or talk on the phone. Good luck _unsure.gif.
CarolineHsu
Yeah it's pretty much lame. And then it's something for your ex to hold against you.
KissMe2408
Oh man, no no no no no.
PLEASE NO! don't break up with him with a text messge.
That is pretty low, I'm sure you don't want to hurt him anymore then you need to, and breaking up with a text message is pretty bad.

If you MUST, then do it over the phone.
But the best way and most respectful way is in person.
If you really are scared, then do what my friend did.
She wrote a letter to him with all of her feelings, listing the reasons why she thought they couldn't be together, and then the next time she saw him, she personally gave him the letter. That would be so much better then a text message!
rorhinna
you HAVE to do it in person.
sorry, but you just gotta
goodcharlotte
So here is the deal. Text messages are a disaster because he will tell his friends and they will get all pissy and gang up on you. Trust me. It is a bad idea. As stated above.
magicfann
its a good idea

DON'T EVER BREAK-UP BY TEXT MESSAGE.

My ex broke up with me on the phone and that hurt. I mean, have the guts to do it in person you know?
Looow
Are you f**king serious? Yes it will be hella "lame"
blacknailpolish
Um any time now we can close this b/c Im pretty sure we all agree its lame...
AngelinaTaylor
Yeah, very lame. There's nothing hard in at least calling and saying, "Sorry, I don't think it's working out".
xforgottenlove
well to me, breaking up in person is perhaps the easiest way. cause then you can explain everything better and there won't be as many misunderstandings.
TaintedDesires
If my non existant boyfriend broke up with me over text, then I would probably forward it to all of my friends and then go hunt him down.
