Yeah, this.

At least be classy enough to say "Hey, look, this just isn't working out" to her face...


Exactly, only if you're in a long distance relationship and travelling there would cost too much money (booking a flight or so) then you can use the phone. Oherwise, tell it to her face.

Even if it's long distance, I'd use a phone call instead of a long series of emails or texts...

My girlfriend broke up with me just a few days ago. Not even directly, she got one of her friends to do it. And yes, I have talked to her about it afterward.

Grow a pair and break up with her in person. You owe her at least that much.

What did you say? Because breaking up via proxy is even lamer than breaking up by letter in my opinion.

Never before did defriending a person become so fun. It's like crossing someone off your personal phone book, but they know about it.

After her friend called me, I texted her about it (We live a 45 minute drive away, have mercy), and we kinda discussed it. She was saying she regretted dating someone in the "Group" of one of my friends (Fucking long story, I don't want NSG to undergo the torture of it)

Honestly, I think she just lost interest. We were dating for about 3 weeks, and we only saw each other 3 times in that period (once again, she lives on a farm. A FARM.)

What's fun is when you end a relationship, or a friendship with someone and they decide to take it in public through the comment page on your MySpace or Facebook page.

It's fun because I have dirt on everyone I know, precisely for this reason.

I have received this excuse before. Non-sequitors suck.

*Starts the guitar rifs*

"The problem is all inside your head", she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover

She said it's really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
But I'll repeat myself, at the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover

You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

Ooo slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

She said it grieves me so to see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again
I said I appreciate that and would you please explain
About the fifty ways

She said why don't we both just sleep on it tonight
And I believe in the morning you'll begin to see the light
And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover

You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
and get yourself free

Slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
:p

In all seriousness, say, 'Look, I'm sorry, but this isn't working out. I'd like to break up. Good luck with finding someone'
To those who feel, life is a tragedy. To those who think, it's a comedy.

Dear Cindy,
I'm breaking up with you. I can't sneak behind Maureen's back any longer. I'm terribly sorry.

Yours forever,

Make sure to include a return address so she knows for sure it's from you. For extra fun, actually know people named Maureen and Cindy.
