What do you think is the worst way to tell someone you want to breakup with them
07/28/2011
The worst ways?
Hire a singing telegram.
Place an ad on a blimp at a sporting event.
Convince your SO to get a tattoo on his/her back but bribe the tattoo artist to make it say "I'm breaking up with you."
If you don't want to spend any cash:
Knock, knock.
Who's there?
I'm breaking up with you.

You gotta do it face to face

Any message is better then leaving them hanging, but really, anything less then face to face is not nice, or fair. Better to be honest and that way you can BOTH walk away feeling "cleanly" split.

While I'm not necessarily a fan of breaking up via text message, Facebook, email, etc., I think that simply not saying anything is downright wretched.
07/28/2011
Any method not face to face is bad
07/28/2011
Personally if someone is breaking up with me i would rather be broken up with via text message. I hate for someone to break up with me over the phone or face to face because i don't wanna deal with all the emotions. That's just how i am i hate emotions.
07/28/2011
anything that u don't do personally sucks

Wow...I initially thought "text message" but as I read the choice my jaw just kept dropping. Having someone ELSE break up for you? WOW! And then just ignoring someone, damn, I think that's even worse because it's slow and probably makes them wonder what's up.
I've broken up over email before but it was with people I'd gone on only one or two (max) dates with and we weren't exclusive or serious. I think if you're exclusive or serious or have seen them for a while OR (yes a lot of ORs) if you were friends first / new them for a while, you owe them a timely in-person meeting. The only other choice would be a phone call if they are really far away (long distance relationships, spur of the moment breakup while traveling, etc.).

Fact is.. a breakup is always aweful.. even if you both know its for the best or its on mutual grounds, its still hard.. But face to face would definately be the best way.. its easier to explain and let them see how much you care about their feelings, and easier for them not to hate you.. I was always the breakup-ee before I met my husband. Twice thru text, and twice face to face.
07/28/2011
Anyway you go is going to be bad but I think that not doing this in person is very cowardly. Although I have had rough times before breaking up face to face so have found phone calls and letters to be good. Some men get very emotional and threw things when you break up with them, keeping a distance is sometimes a good idea.
07/29/2011
being totally blown off with no further phone calls or contact is the worst with no explanation whatsoever
07/29/2011
I think ignoring someone would be the worst. Then probaly getting someone else to do it. Those are just so cowardly.
02/23/2012
Ignoring someone or having someone else break up with someone for you is the MOST spineless thing ever. I wouldn't want to be with someone like that anyway.
02/23/2012
What is so wrong with speaking to someone face to face. I hate people who take the cowards way out.

Examples: TV Commercial, public speech, etc.

Personally I never feel comfortable during phonecalls (and anyone I date knows that), so for me being broken up with via telephone, ignoring, or having a friend do it would be the worst, and text message isn't very appropriate either. The others don't seem so bad... but for anything like a letter or email, you need to be damn sure they'll read what you wrote before the next time you'll be face to face with them.
Face to face is really by far my preferred way, both for receiving and giving breakups.

i prefer honesty- even if it has to be over the phone. I personally try to be honest and treat people how i would want to be treated, and above all i am brutally honest.
02/23/2012
Over the phone or in person is fine with me. Any other way is just cowardly in my opinion.
02/23/2012
I've been broken up with in an email. It was ridiculous. Grow a pair and tell me to my face, or at the very least, on the phone. I've broken up with people over the phone...and when I was in middle school I once got someone else to do it for me(c'mon, I was young, it didn't really count, did it? I regretted it later and told them I was sorry.) I think the best way is face to face. Treat them like a person, and don't wound them even more by making them feel like they don't even deserve a good explanation...unless they don't.

Being broken up with/breaking up with someone is hard no matter how you do it. I've been broken up with over the phone and I hated it, but I'd rather that then a text message. I don't want to be broken up with in person, because 1) They wasted my time in having to leave whatever I'm doing and meet them, just to have them ruin my day, 2) I wouldn't be able to look them in the face. Out of all the ways, I'd rather be broken up in a letter or email.
I know for fact breaking up with someone is extremely difficult, and I understand not being able to look at the other person because it'll hurt too much. Any way you do it is going to hurt, and doing it in person (from past experience) has just made things worse; arguing, crying, etc.
But the worst? Ignoring the person. That's the lowest you can stoop down.

It's much better to do it in person, even though some people would prefer to send a message, it's really messed up. The rudest and most ignorant way is just to ignore the other person

A text would be just mean, so would having someone else do it for you...

Told her that I am no longer capable of having human emotions, then closed the door to her apartment and walked away.

My ex gradually started ignoring me and not wanting to do as much physically, but denied that he was avoiding me when I asked about it and wouldn't explain what was wrong or talk about it with me. He did that for months before we actually broke up, and I was the one who had to ask him if he wanted to break up because he wouldn't say the phrase outright. At least even a text message breakup gets to the point, rather than stringing someone along and leaving them stressed and confused for months on end. I wish I'd gotten his passive-aggressive hints sooner and saved myself some stress and trouble.

my 'sister' is mad at me right now because I sent a nasty message to her ex after he did just that- after travelling around the world with her for a year he just ignored her and hoped she got the message. assh@le
