Last time I was dumped 'texting' hadn't even been invented!

Yeah, it's happened to me. It was a long distance relationship so was probably doomed to failure from the beginning.

Her loss - another woman now gets the benefit of my meaty quads and granite firm glutes.

for those of you who are too young to remember telephones made out of Bakelite, this is going to take a bit of understanding but............

in 1988 I received a phone call from the first Mrs DZ to say that she was at a friends and would stay there for tea. That was fine. But, when the conversation ended, she didn't put down the phone. Now....in the olden days if you rang somebody and didn't put down the phone the person you rang couldn't make a call. So you would be running up a bill, and the person you called would be cheesed off because (in this case) he, or rather I, couldn't call to change the babysitting arrangements.

Cue much calling down the phone. But the speakers on old phones weren't so good - so I couldn't attract their attention. When I stopped calling, and listened to see if they were still about I heard a bunch of stuff I clearly wasn't meant to hear.

At the time it was shocking. Looking back, in the light of the way things have turned out for me, it's a complete hoot - in fact I confess I'm sufficiently unkind a person to relish certain ironies in a very big way. But (and I think this shines through some of the posts above) the lack of honesty left a sour taste.

you cad! Explain yourself!

I'm a coward, what else can I say. Anyway it was only a short fling and the next time I saw her she was on one of those dating programmes on TV.

Ouch, that's cold!

I've been dumped over MSN (when I was about 16 though so it was nothing serious) after I spent a fortune on her for Christmas (well, about 20 quid but at the time I didn't have an income). Bitch did it once I'd given her all of her presents on Christmas day then before Boxing day even got here I was dumped. :cursing: I suspect she was cheating on me as well as she often liked to go "on a break" when it suited her so I suspect I dodged (a rather expensive at the time) bullet.

I'm engaged now. Been together 2.5 years, couldn't be happier. Can't see myself with anybody else and that's the important thing.

I was dumped via MSN messenger after getting a haircut that she didn't like. Not the most firmly grounded relationship it seems :biggrin:

There are no nice ways to do it really. . . maybe spell it out in alphabetti spaghetti?

Yikes! :eek:

Still, it all worked out well in the end, eh?

I've only ever broken up one relationship myself, and that was before mobile phones and texting was quite so universal.
Prefer to be dumped by phone. Usually I'm trying to sound more upset than I am, when actually I'm quite glad.

Worst way to be dumped is by going abroad with them (non-exchangeable tickets) and then dumping them on the first day away. This happened to a couple of people I know.

the worst? The absolute worst?

We have a cleaner (that's socialism for you). Her husband (note the word 'husband') went missing. A week later a friend of his came round and said that he'd always had another wife in the Ukraine and that she shouldn't try to find him.

Try coming up with a few consoling words for that one........
