would you rather be dumped face to face or via text?

it was on the wright stuff this morning this discussion

so thought i would start it on here

which would you prefer?

Scroll to see replies

Neither to be honest :biggrin:
Honestly, I know it's probably more respectful to be dumped face to face (idk is it?) but I just can't imagine how awkward and uncomfortable that would be.

I would prefer text, just because it's easier to say 'okay' and turn off my phone / not look at it and go about my grieving or whatever my emotions are at that point.

Then again, I would hate to end it with my boyfriend over text and would most likely need to see him face to face.

Ugh I keep changing my mind. This is a tough one.
Text pls.


I wouldn't want the dumper to see me (presumably) upset :cry2:

Really? :curious:

I want it to happen face to face so I can give them a piece of my mind and make them uncomfortable. Also I'd use the opportunity to hurt them back.
I don't think it matters really. Doesn't make a difference. You can communicate fairly effectively on both and you can always take it to a phone call anyway to talk about it.

I didn't mean physically hurt them... sigh I know sympathising with male abuse victims is all the rage these days,.
Face to face definitely. I would have more respect for them if they dumped me face to face.

I didn't mean physically. Just hurting someone on purpose for being dumped is silly. Unless they were being malicious. But I would still just forget about them immediately if that were the case.
I broke up with my ex via "text" (Facebook, to be more precise) and whilst my friend, and my ex himself, said that it was "disrespectful", I'm pretty sure that meeting up with him face-to-face just to tell him I want to break up with him would be awkward and uncomfortable. So I'll stick with texting.

Dumping someone is always hurtful for the person being dumped. If you are dumping me you wont have an easy time I'll tell you that. :colonhash:

I could never be friends with an ex tbh. In fact not friends with any of them 'cause I always remember the way it ended.

I don't see how someone can make it hard to be dumped.

Person A: This will not work out, sorry.
Person B: but but but....
Person A: *ignores*

Easy enough.

need to change the way you approach things (and possibly who you get into a relationship with lol). So you don't get hurt :tongue:

That's the thing it will be hard to ignore me face-to-face and it's harder to walk away from someone. I've never had someone just say "This will not work out, sorry" usually they beat around the bush and they try to explain the reasoning behind their action.


I think it's really cowardly to just walk away without an explanation.

Thats what I'm talking about lmao. That's a really childish way to view it. Nothing wrong with 'being dumped'. Which is also a silly way to put it as well. It's what people say in school lol.

Should just talk about it and come to a decision mutually.
