Define a 'while more'?

ok everyone is thinking it so i am going to ask it

What happened ?

For my tupence worth, textual break ups are a no no. face to face is the only way, you can face each other then.

Hoefully it will sort itself out

i know usually break ups over the fone/txt wotever are a no no but some things are easier said not face to face! fair nuff it's usually the cowards way out but i think it prevents a lot of lies and the whole "we can still be friends" thing! maybe i'm wrong i dunno! but actually in saying all that i guess if i was in your shoes i'd rather be told face to face....wot did happen n e way? did she just say "hi - it's over"??

please excuse my nosiness......!

Also nosey - want to hear all

Breaking up by text is cowardly - no better than doing it on the phone. Very 21st century though... what next.. proposal by SMS? File for divorce by SMS?

I've just joined the nosey queue

If I was you I'd tell her your phone was stolen and pretend nothing happened. Make her do it face to face.

I broke up with a gf via SMS once, a few years ago. Just as well, as I was with another woman at the time and a voice call might have been a little awkward.

I broke up with my gf last Sat evening. Actually twas quite funny (it was on the cards for a while, but kinda hoped that she would initiate it). Anyway I was in my rented house in Castlebar, and got a text that things were going rough and she needed a break. So I raced over to her house (4 doors up

). Told her that the feelings were mutual, and that I think it's for the best.

I was trying to keep the ear to ear grin under wraps as I left her house and came back to Galway. She said we'd keep it as friends (TBH I don't really care coz she really wrecked my head for the past few weeks). When I got home I sent her an email which had a good mood attached to it, with the whole "let's be friends" attitude in action. I got an equally similar response. But then (I think it was about wed evening), I got mail from her that was nothing but complete bitchiness. I don't know where it came from (probably the plonker friends she hangs around with). It annoyed me intially, but then I came to my senses and laughed. She obviously doesn't know how to be just friends, and is freaking out. So I'm enjoying every minute of it.

Now kids, the moral of my breakup story is to try and do the opposite of everything that was done here. Eventhough I'm happy, I can't say the same for her, and what's worse, she has rendered me to a state where I couldn't give a toss.

A top class idea my friend... breaking up with someone via SMS is just taking the easy way out (and if you dont mind me saying is pretty damn cowardly)

good news for me- or is it?
