Is it okay to break up over the phone?
That depends on how you break up.
Should I break up by taking all the blame or call her the witch she is?
I meant, it is not OK to break up by text message or email. Something that personal
should be at least over the phone if not in person.
It has to be over the phone. That reduces the odds I’ll be hit by flying objects after
I announce the breakup.
You can break up over the phone. I’d recommend being polite about it.
Though there’s no way to be kind. I like the advice of doing it via conversation though,
since she can’t forward my email or text messages to others.
Hard to believe that the lower tech gives you more privacy. However, you shouldn’t
breakup via voicemail.
Voicemail would be perfect. She hears me, but I can’t hear her screaming back at me.
Voicemails could be played for other people. And she might not get it.
Or she might pretend that she didn’t get it.
That would be awkward. She doesn’t check her messages and calls asking if you want
to go out.
Or she could say she didn’t get it, take me out to a nice dinner and leave me with
the bill after making me think she isn’t so bad after all.
If you think this little of her, I understand why you’re breaking up.
You ruled out text messages and email. What do you think of instant messaging?
Then she could say that she thought someone hacked your phone. And she could forward the
messages to someone else.
I just don’t want to talk to her.
That is almost a break up message in and of itself.
But she has to hear it, which means it isn’t quite good enough.
Just tell her that you aren’t good enough for her and never will be, and that is why
you need to part ways.
She’ll probably laugh her head off when I hang up after saying that.
So will you, but at least then you’ll have broken up without looking like a jerk.
Just a laughing stock.
