I don't like this thread.

Whoever picks any of the poll options is a selfish idiot who messed with someone's feelings. If you cared about a person there would be no "best way to break up", you'd hurt regardless. Face to face is the only decent way to break up with a person in my opinion.

Best way is phone, but I couldn't use that if it was a serious relationship. I've rung a few guys to break up with them but both times it was a fairly short lived relationship and they were messing me around. In a serious relationship it has to be face to face but it's always going to be horrible.

Death is the best way. You tend to have to wait a long time.

I'd do it with mind games :smile:

Face to face is the only way to do it if it's serious. Most of the other options, particularly text, is just awful.

Welcome to Dumpsville. Population -- You.

Please do that one :biggrin:

Lisa suggests they write another letter, saying good-bye without hurting
her feelings.

Step aside! Sensitive love letters are my specialty!
-- Homer offers to help Bart write a love letter, ``Bart the Lover''

Dear Baby,
Welcome to Dumpville. Population---You.
-- Homer helps Bart write a letter, ``Bart the Lover''

Time passes, and various attempts to write a letter are proposed and shot
down.

Bart: How about, ``Crocodiles bit off my face.''
Marge: That's disgusting! And besides, when a woman lives a man, it
doesn't matter that a crocodiles bit off his face.
Homer: I may hold you to that, Marge.
-- ``Bart the Lover''

Three simple words: I am gay.

Face to face is clearly the most considerate and respectful way, but not the easiest.

Face to face would just be...awkward. So all you prigs out there who voted for that, I find that hard to believe as a viable option.

Faking your death is probably the easiest option.

Bless you. I'm giving you rep merely for the sincerity and kindness you have displayed. You're spot on, aswell.

I think phone so the person being dumped gets dumped in private. Maybe I'm a coward but I would not want to make a scene. Also the person being dumped can cry in private without being seen.

anyone who breaks up in any way other than face to face is jus a coward.
Face to face should be the only way, preferably your place so that the person being split up with can leave of their own accord.
Anyone with any decency would do it face to face. When I was younger I effectively broke up with a girl by ignoring her phonecalls/texts etc. I was inexperienced and scared at the time but I still regret being such a pathetic coward and hurting someone like that.
