Why would someone break up with you via e-mail or IM? I have had an ex finacee break up with me by sending me an e-mail...that is so wrong. I can't believe some people think it is okay...for those of you that think it is okay why do you think it is okay?

Even worse. Met a wonderful guy at a party! We connected and danced together. We spent the rest of the entire weekend together. We talked on the phone until midnight on Sunday.

Monday morning I got a text message on my cell saying he was not looking for a relationship so please do not contact him again.

Very bizarre!

once by email this has been within the last few weeks, the girl who emailed me i was with off and on for about 6 months (her decision) she made all the first moves as i tend to be kinda shy when it comes to relationships, i thought everything was going well then one day i get an email saying that she doesnt want to hurt my feelings but that she wants to let me know it was over, i didnt reply or say anything about it mostly cause i figure that its a done deal. (btw she stated that she wanted to be single and that their were some things about me that she couldnt accept) ok fine im somewhat used to being dumped and at least she has been one of the few (4) that actually said something. and although i can help but think i did something wrong i honestly dont know and im trying to let it go who knows perhaps one day i will find one that will actually stick around :D

Shoot, didn't Paul Simon say there must be 50 ways to leave your lover. In my life I've heard of Dear John letters to guy in the military, letters, phone calls, emails, best friends delivering messages, test messages, just about everything. Only thing missing so far is skywriting.

If a person breaks up other than face to face, I think it would make it easier to take. After all, if they don't have enough respect for me to say it to my face, I'm lucky they're leaving - even though I may wish it was otherwise.

I have only ever been broken up with once (always been the one to end it before) and that was via Text message, which I consider a fairly reprehensible and gutless way of doing it.

Completely out of the blue I got a phone call from her number but some guys voice telling me she doesn't want any more messages from me. Then I got the words through the e-mail but I'm still waiting to hear the truth because everything she's said about why just doesn't ring true. The last excuse was that she met someone but how do you tell someone how much you miss them one day, then meet someone you decide you like more in less than a week? Oh, and you know, that excuse it's not you it's me? Well F**k that.

Yes! I met a guy on-line. We dated for 10 months. We were to the stage of telling each other we loved each other and even talking a bit about marriage. He had custody of all 4 of his children and kept saying he wanted to wait until the youngest was 18 before getting married again--his youngest was 14 at the time--but that he was reconsidering to some extent. The last time we were together was the most wonderful time of all. He basically told me he loved me, that we were magic together, and that he was going to throw away all his plans and just go with the flow and see where it would go with us. I was very happy! Then a few days later I get the email (I still have it!!!) saying he just couldn't do it and that he had to stop seeing me completely, blah, blah, blah. And he meant it because he never did call me or contact me again. Anyhow this appeared to be a full blown exclusive relationship that lasted 10 months and yet I still got dumped by email! He did not have the guts to tell me in phone or in person.

Six months later I finally realized the whole thing was a complete lie and that he was basically fantasizing about most of our relationship. He has a 'real' girlfriend now and is off all on-line dating sites--may even be married already knowing his track record.

I was devastated for almost a year but finally met someone wonderful and that fiasco is now a distant memory. What I mostly feel is pity for the poor woman he is with now! He will go to any length to get what he wants and has no qualms at all about lying. When I read over his hundreds of emails to me, I do get the feeling he has a bit of a problem separating fantasy from reality, as well as lies from truth. Thank goodness I escaped that 'madness'. Best wishes to the woman he is now with, because she is going to need it. As for me, I'm in a much better place with a man who is based firmly in reality and is as honest as they come as well as being a truly happy and fun person.

Yes, because she did not want to discuss things. However, she never blocked my e-mail and was terribly hurt when I finally rejected her (nothing nasty) half a year later. And, naturally, I was at fault for e-mailing her, causing her stress, and hurting her feelings (for calling someone a "pleasant acquaintence who couldn't be a friend because she didn't talk"). Passive-aggressive the musical coming soon to a theater near you.

Oh yeah--after 4 years with him too! He lives in Canada, I'm in the US, and the day before I was to go up there, I got the email that said he "met somebody and wanted to see where it would go." This is a month after he asked me to marry him. So if you wanna talk cowards, I got one for ya!

Funny thing is that they always act as if it's a terrible heart rending experience for them.

Farfus, I wasn't dating thru the internet. I'd stay in Canada for months at a time and come back so they didn't throw me out.

Yes I was dumped by e-mail.
We were talking the night before and the next morning via e-mail BY BY.
I thought it was very cowardly, not even a phone call.

tried to dump someone by e-mail as was easier than face to face of having them begging to stay with them.
Instead they called and cried down the fone saying there world would fall apart if i dumped this person.
Obviously not a very big world they live in then!

Its not a very nice way to be dumped
Even though happends a lot or via text in this modern world we all now live in
But then when has being dumped or doing the dumping ever been good regardless how you do it.?

Yea. Twice.

The first time, it was as much of a release as it was a disappointment. She was acting like a dead fish, and I was running out of patience talking to myself while looking at her. The message was... boring and nondescript--just like our "dates" had been.

The second time, I was heartbroken. It was the last week of January, and we'd been planning a Valentine's Day rondez vous. I had just secured the time off from my boss that day. She was acting distant and distracted as we traded messages online, and abruptly logged off when I asked her if something was wrong. She sent me the email--"I'm in love, I just met him, I'm sorry." I called and argued, and wasted my breath. At least my boss was understanding when I went back the next day and had to tell him I didn't need the time off.

Both girls are still married to the men they left me for... Not sure what to make of that.

Been there!!! Mine was over MSN though, lmfao .... makes me think of a great quote though, "It's better to lose a lover, than love a loser" ... and if he was willing to break up with someone over MSN, then he was absolutely a loser!

via MSN. We were talking on MSN and I asked her to let me call, to let me save at least a bit of dignity... needless to say no phone call was made and I got dealt with on MSN. Quite humbling actually. Not many things are more demeaning than being dumped online.

LOL.. I was once! I was so mad and yet he kept contacting me!! So I made sure that he could not contact me anymore by simply not responding--then came the day when I gave in after he kept asking to see me. I watched im cry his eyes out and listened. But I left. Today we are best friends. The guy? The man that was a womanizer that never wanted to marry again etc. LOL>kept bringing up living together, when we get married and more! I love him dearly but he is not the marrying kind!
