ending a relationship by text.

[Minxie]

Just been dumped by my long term boyfriend. Via text. How cowardly is that! Anyone else agree. (please say yes)

[Lollyhoney]

Oh my God! Thats terrible. Do you know why it ended??

[loopyc]

yes very cowardly at least be a man about it and do it face to face! hope your coping ok x

[moon_unit]

YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!

Similar thing happended recently but with a week old relationship, either case, still cowardly.

You must feel hurt that someone you've known long term could be so disrespectful as to do it via text.

Just forget about the jerk!

[Minxie]

Lolly, he had a list of reasons. Been seeing him for nearly 3 and a half years. This time last week things were fine. Loopy thankyou for agreeing that its cowardly. I am OK. Thank you.

The man is a coward,a beast,a bounder,and a blaggard.

To dump a lady by text are the actions of someone you should be relieved to be free of.

Your knight in shining armour will one day arrive,forget the cad,he's not worth it!

[Minxie]

Thanks Moon, Its not the first time he has done it. Before I have got back with him. NEVER AGAIN.

[Minxie]

Thanks Mighty. Will await my knight in shining armour. Think I will go and watch casualty and cheer myself up!

[Scarlett]

That is particularly spineless! I would text him back to say that he needs to get some manners if any of his relationships are to last long term.

[Minxie]

Hi Scarlett, I have now deleted his mobile number. To avoid me having one too many glasses of vino tonight and texting him. He has made me feel very bad about myself. No blame on him. All on me. Still cant see where I am that bad :(

[WendyS]

Minxie. He is a coward of the worst order and if he didn't even have the guts to tell you face to face, you are well rid of him, even though it must hurt. He would probably have opted out eventually when the going got tough, as it does with all of us sooner or later.

Just as a matter of interest, in the First World War, women would present men with a large white feather as a sign of cowardice. (Originally it was to suggest that men who weren't in uniform were cowards as they didn't have the guts to sign up). Find the largest white feather you can and send it to him, telling him to research the meaning (if he's that intelligent) !!

Just remind yourself what heartbreak you might have saved yourself if you'd ended with a child and he'd walked out on you. Am sure somebody better will come along. Three and a half years is a long time to be together. Just try to remember the good times, and look forward to different ones in the future.

[Lonnie]

The man is not only cowardly, he should be ashamed of being called a man, no matter how hard it is to tell someone bad news, no matter what, where possible it has to be done face to face, I feel for you Minxie, a very nasty way to do it.

[LazyGun]

Yep... v.cowardly indeedy.....much better to do it by fax!! :)

(ducks)

Seriously, its a cheap and pretty underhand way of doing things.

[Drusilla]

One day, and I hope it's not too far away, you will be so relieved this sad little urchin is out of your life. Good luck to you Minxie and best wishes.

[Jack Maude]

Yes. Very. But just remember, you're worth a million times more than him. So write his name on a piece of paper and put it slowly through the nearest shredder. It really helps, I promise.

[Minxie]

Thank you all for replying. And your kind words xx

[tobeloy]

Yes very cowardly

Clarion is right he probably had no balls

And minxie I will join you in a glass or 2 and be your knight for a night....hope you are feelin bit better....it happens to the best of us....xxx

[snook]

Sad for you Minxie. But console yourself you've seen what kind of 'man' he is. Probably the same spineless type that bully their classmates by text, just a bit older. Sad little w@nkers

Forget the creep. Go out and enjoy yourself. Not all men are like that. Find a decent one and have a good time. ;o)

[Hgrove]

The man's a *******! you may want to look at this to cheer you up: http://www.soyouvebeendumped.co.uk/

[Minxie]
