You can't text message breakup!

Looks like I’m back on the single scene again. Did you miss me boys?

I got dumped via text message. Granted he did ask to talk on the phone via text and I replied that if he was breaking up with me just tell me now.

I really have no filter on my mouth. I say what comes to mind even if I make an idiot out of myself. My boss walked by when I was reading the yes I am breaking up with you text and asked me what was wrong. I blurted out, “my boyfriend just dumped me by text message!”

Can I not say stupid stuff like that to my boss? I’m lucky that he’s a nice guy and felt bad for me, not horrified that I just threw that out there for the whole office to enjoy.

My friends and co-workers seem to be more upset about this than I am. Dumping someone by text is not a very popular way to break up with someone but really, would face to face be better? I’m glad he didn’t make plans to meet up with me only to tell me we’re done. Obviously the situation is different if it’s a long term relationship. Ending your marriage by text message a la Britney Spears is pretty low.

I wonder what people did before texting. Did they send letters to break up or perhaps a telegram?

I end this post with a word from Kelly.
