Dumping by txt

[laurence2]

Not sure if this has been brought up on B&S in the past, but what is it with this dumping someone by txt this days.

It seems to be the younger element of society that are doing it tho i know a few older hands are starting to adopt this way of finishing a relationship now.

Why are people choosing to adopt this way of ending a relationship?

Is it because they lack confidence, confrontation, or are cowards or heartless etc etc?

its a pathetic way of dealing with things if you ask me, not giving someone a chance to explain no matter what the circumstances were is silly really, i suspose people will say its an easy kop out to do it this way, it was an easy kop out to ring someone or write a letter years ago, but i don't recall it this bad, blame it on technology maybe.

Your responses would be appreciated, especially if you know or have been involved in ''dumping by txt''.

Thankyou

I dont think it would bother me, if someone was going to dump me and I cared about it, I wouldnt want to them to see all the bottom lip trembling and tears that would follow. Would also help me think better off without them.

ive gotta say its only good manners to say face to face to someone that its over.
seems strange to say after going out for a month together ,perhaps even having sex ( as i believe is possible)that you only think the person is good enough to be dumped by text.

if theyre good enought o go out with then surely any decent person would at least tell them face to face .


seems a bit low to me .
maybe ive got higher standards i dunno.

Hmmm, i can understand why people dump their partners by text.
They wont have to put up with all the emotional reactions and all the "oh how am i going to go on living without you" or "can we not make a go of it,i will change" or "i am gonna kill myself if you leave me"
i could go on all day, but had better not...

if you dont want the emotions then dont get in a relationship.its part of the deal mr ben.without emotions ud be better goin to a hooker then.

Hmmm, i never meant on my behalf. I was stating that i can understand why people dump by text.
I am a face to face person and would never dump by text.
Its easier just to ignore the calls and texts in the first place, then they get so miffed off and dump you themselves...

lmao... people dont really have sex with each other before a month of dating do they? Legend I must say, that today you have indeed genuinely and deliberately I assume, produced a chuckle from me.

ur right , it is rude and chickeny, I think im a bit laissez faire about everything these days. Stuff em, boys smell.

I was dumped via text........numpty me.stupidly got back with him, after a lot of "I am sorry/ I miss you texts!.......only to be finally dumped via email... Had been with the jerk for over 4 yrs too!

I would never dump someone via text or email. Not good for anyones self esteem!
