Funny thing was that she and I got along just great and out of the blue I get this e-mail. Me thinks she went back to her ex. | |

Posted: 6/21/2005 11:04:25 PM | Yes, I was dumped in an email before ... by a guy I'd been dating for about 7 months.
He had "fallen in love" with someone he met online, and was leaving his 2 children (who he had custody of) with his ex wife and moving across the country.
The woman he fell in love with, besides being a crazy b*tch, was still married, and her husband didn't know about the online affair.
He moved in with both of them and as far as I know he still lives there, pretending to be nothing but her brother's friend!!!
From what I hear he's really unhappy (I know ....duh! lol), has gained a lot of weight (not that there's anything wrong with that.... he just used to be proud of having an athletic build), and he hasn't seen his children since the day he left to move across the country.
Ahhhhh Karma .... it really is a wonderful thing. | |

Posted: 6/22/2005 6:15:14 AM | | SICutie I had a steady BF who was starting to get a little smothering. I dated to go visit my friends (a couple) and didn't want him tagging along. Nothing like someone going to see your friends who doesn't even know these people! I got an email he wrote, sat up drank all night he was SO upset I didn't let him go, wrote me a breakup email at 3AM I could tell he was drunk. I just laughed as I read it the next morning, before lunch he'd sent me another, sorry, got drunk, didn't mean it. HA! I made it stick. Well, he'll never forget that, his friends told me that he never got over it. Too bad, think before you act, and don't drink and write your GF when you're upset. | |

Posted: 6/22/2005 6:28:42 AM | i agree bucsgirl! he was angry with me when he wrote it. i didn't, however, get the "i'm sorry" email. 
it's better that way, i don't want him now anyway! | |

Posted: 6/22/2005 6:49:18 AM | | SICutie I was trying to figure out how to break it off with him anyway, so fate just stepped in and lent me a hand. I also wrote him back by email and said, no, I accept your first email, the breakup stands. I did talk to him some, but I kept reminding him hey YOU broke up with ME, remember, via email no less. Man was HE embarrassed, of course ALL his friends knew. He deserves it for drinking to excess when he gets upset and doing stupid things (hmm...come to think of it, that was part of the reason I wanted to break up with him) anyway it taught him a lesson. | |

Posted: 6/22/2005 8:35:22 AM | | SI He'll never live it down, stupid thing to do. I have to confess, that I DID break up with someone over the phone, but I did it to spare his feelings. Plus we hadn't dated that long, maybe 6 weeks, so it wasn't a long time. He understood and I still see him "out and about" occasionally, well he understood EVENTUALLY!!!! What do you think about over the phone? I'm talking live, not leaving a message. | |

Posted: 6/22/2005 8:39:03 AM | if it's just dating. no commitment, no expectations i don't think the phone is so bad. it sucks to dump someone. i hate it. but at least by talking to them, giving them a chance to be heard, get their feelings out, they have a chance for their closure.
i don't think you did anything wrong. | |

Posted: 6/22/2005 8:49:59 AM | | SI It wasn't serious at least on MY part, he was head over heels. That was part of the problem...I just figured if I called him on the phone, he wouldn't have to see ME face to face, plus he wouldn't be in a public place, like a restaurant or bar or something.....I'd rather get that kind of news privately. It's okay we're casual friends and all, but I think sometimes the phone may be better. Leaving an email is chicken poo, though. | |

Posted: 6/22/2005 8:52:09 AM | chicken poo! :) ha!
yeah the phone isn't bad. we'd been together about 2 months, had gotten the job done, so i figured i deserved better than an email.
well, i do deserve better. better than him! | |

Posted: 6/22/2005 8:54:13 AM | It takes a coward to do that.. I don't even doing over the phone.
You deserve at least to be told were you can respond immediatly. | |

Posted: 6/22/2005 9:08:05 AM | | cdub You can respond over the phone. It just saves the face to face meeting. Believe me, he was better off that way. I can tell someone in person i'm not going to be seeing them anymore, as gently as I can, and I DO respect their feelings. IT's just that the face to face seems to make them VERY uncomfortable. Plus, usually the response is what? Why? What did I do? There is no point in discussion at that point. Maybe later, maybe not. if someone breaks up with me, I don't want to know why. Doesn't really matter. | |

Posted: 6/22/2005 9:57:32 AM | hi cdub! nice to see there are men in STL who don't suck!
but i'm with bucsgirl on this. the phone is ok if it's not a serious committed relationship. email, voicemail or text messaging is not acceptable. ever. | |
