My boyfriend of FIVE YEARS broke up with me via a 3 line email. Totally unexpected. Talk about adding insult to injury! It may be okay to do the text/email thing with someone who is a casual fling but it is nothing but a cowardly, insulting, thoughtless slap in the face in any other situation. I can only hope someone dumps him via text someday and keeps it to 6 words or less.

I think breaking up by email is a bit cowardly although I can understand how frightening it might be in some situations. It seems more and more young people are resorting to breaking up via email or text messaging. My own daughter has done it twice.

Breaking up is never easy, in person, over the phone, by mail, leaving a msg or via email. It all depend of the reason why? and the personality of the person that wants to brake up. The easy way out is by mutual agreement, where each person knows that things are not working out and is better to end the relationship.
At the end in my opinion is all about his/her personality and the resend why?

I will never use email to do this kind of thing since it’s not clear to show our feelings. And we should give an oppotunity to our lover(at least we loved each others previously) to share his/her ideas. We will never tolerate misunderstandings, so face to face talk is the best.
