Not by email, yet.
But YES via text message on the cell phone. His fiance, yep a real live honest to goodness fiance, returned from Europe. Dated him for seven months and never a clue because she was in Prague the whole time. It didn't help my faith in men at all because he was the first man I dated after a divorce from an 18-year marriage. After a while I decided it was pretty dang funny.

I can't see that email is any worse way to be dumped than any other way.
It is the message that is important, not the media they use.
Men traditionally seek to avoid emotional involvement therefore email is convenient for them.
This should come as no surprise.

Well...one example is if you are dating a drama queen who loves to argue and through out your association you have never known them to take any sort of accountability for their actions...I can see it.

Also...if you technically 'Only dating' (ie before sex) and you just want to let things drop, telling the person that you've made other plans and drift away is perfectly acceptable.

Dear SI

Sorry you were dumped, but as you said it was for the best....NOT the best method, but at least he responded....

What I don;t get is the lead on..."call me" lets talk....or send me your pic and we can IM
then they just DROP OUT OF SITE!!!!

What is one to think....should I take if personally and drop the site all together and figure I am destine to live a life alone>


You are much better than that he probably did you a favor....

obviously lots of you have experienced this. should we expect it from a relationship that began on a computer? or i it just a dumb thing that some people do impulsively? after a 2 yr relationship that was mainly conducted in person except for evening chats on msn i thought it was fairly cowardly!!! part of that makes me afraid of trusting a guy from the internet again.

Yes. It was a cowardly thing on her part. In addition to being a coward, she was also a liar, a cheat and a hypocrite.

Good riddance.

No and I hope never to be dumped that way but if this is the way it starts on the net, I can see it happening more often that not.

Yes, two weeks before I was due to have surgery for the removal of a tumour, two days before Valentine's day. A true class act

Oh for sure been dumped brutally via email - however, I also think it's ok to dump via email or the phone but here is the ettiquite I came up with.

If you have been having $ex and are in an exclusive relationsip, then it is best form to do it in person but it's ok if you choose a public place if you're a chicken. Anything other than in person is rude.

If you have not been intimate yet but were dating exclusively, it's ok to do it by phone.

If you have not been intimate yet, have been on a couple dates and it just isn't what you want, its ok to do it via email.

If the significant other has turned into a posessive freak, it's ok to do it by email or phone because you may need a head start when they try to find you.

No, not by email, but by a letter. Personally delivered by him early in the morning...before I realised and was awake (and before I could read the letter), he was gone...poef..out of the country for a couple of weeks...so could not talk to him. Mind you...9 years relationship and then a letter saying he was having an affair and wanted to stop our relationship. It's been a long time ago, but it took me a while to recover from his action.

Yes. And it stinks! Not only did he not have the balls to tell me to my face he also lied to me as well. I am glad he is no longer in my life.

Yea it happened to me a whiile ago...we talked for about 6 months...went to MEXICO to meet him...it was amazing...had a great 2 weeks...met his family...came home and made plans for him to come here for xmas..maybe move here...and then all of a sudden a letter saying he needed space to think about things...I was fine with that...I mean I can't blame him...he was thinking of moving to another country...and then after a few days he was like "I don't want to be with you after all..I think you like me more than I like you" all this crazy sh*t..which I mean he is allowed to have whatever feelings he likes...but he was the one making all the plans...and telling me "I LOVE YOU" and all that stuff...I usually keep a level head..all I asked was that if he was going to end what we started to at least say it to me...do it on the phone...but no...it was an email...and really I thank him now for it...so many new things have come into my life since that...things I am gratefull for...that I maybe never would have experienced had he not ended it...so it may seem crappy now..but good things come!!!

I dont recall ever being dumped by email, well once a woman that I knew who I was intimate with pretended to dump me a few times through yahoo messaging and email but she kept coming back saying she loved me but it was just a game to her and she was crazy in the end(got rid of her since). The way I look at it if I get involved with a woman and she dumps me it's her loss, it's not the end of the world I'm sure there's a better women out there for me who will gladly take her place.

Yup, not even a phone call. Personally, a phone call is kind lame too.

If you are and have been close/intimate/in a relationship, the least they can do is have a face to face with you.

The very least....

Kinda sucks, but you are not goin' to change them. They are escaping feeling uncomfortable without regard for your feelings.

Just happened to me a week ago. We had been dating 2 to 4 times a week for 2 months. THings were going better and better. Then she gets called by her ex-boyfriends and sends this email saying is too much of a coward to tell me to my face but she is getting back together with her ex. So here I am chopped liver. Man, tore my heart out, I really thought we had something going somewhere special. So I am messed up right now.
First time that has happened. Nice guys really do finish last. I gotta start treating women worse. Can't do any worse I guess.

Dumped by email once, then stupidly took him back, a week later dumped again with not even a phone call, the old dropping off the face of the earth trick.....

When people treat you like that you just have to remember this:


There are people who can walk away from you. And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk. I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone baby.

When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.

People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay.

Let them go.

And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead. You've got to know when it's dead. You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something. I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay.

Let them go!!

If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth.....
LET THEM GO!!!

Instant messenger, e-mail & phone. Never once in person.

My all time favorite, was on instant messenger when the girl said "I didn't have the heart to do it over the phone".

..yep as well, only 5 months for me, we were intimate, we had a dinner date, all seemed well, (other than she dropped the flowers in the peanut shells twice) she cried on my shoulder, asked her if I could do anything, ...no...then I get the "hey, had a great Saturday, got the stuff I had to get, and I have to do what is best for me" email, didn't even use my name, and didn't have the spine to tell me about the guy she was making whoopee with. At least I still have the Star Trek convention next month to look fwd to...woowee..love that Klingon brandyjavascript:smilie('')

actually, email is my favorite way to get dumped.

i don't have to respond right away or at all....i have time to compose a bone-jarring response.

anyway, they always come back. that's the weird part.
