5 Evil Ways to Dump A Lover
By Laura Snyder
We've all had our hearts broken by at least one bloke or babe who did it in the most inconceivably evil way. Do you recognize any of these dastardly dumpers?
The Disappearing Act
This classic break-up technique is simple: just disappear off the face of the earth. They don't call, they don't write, they don't show up for dates . You suddenly find yourself in a very one-sided relationship with an answering machine. Is an explanation too much to ask?
The Stealth Bomber
You sure didn't see this one coming. One minute you were a cozy twosome, planning shared vacations and romantic interludes. Next thing you knew, it was all over. Why some people seem to think it's more polite to pretend nothing's wrong when they're seething with resentment is beyond us.
The Saboteur
Guys in particular seem to love this passive-aggressive style of breaking up. Instead of just sucking it up and sending their sweetheart packing, they prefer to poison the relationship slowly - keeping their distance, pushing your buttons - until you finally give up and dumps them. It's sneaky how they do the dirty work and still manage to win all the sympathy.
The Email Evader
What kind of lazy - and cruel - person taps out a "Dear John" letter and clicks send? Or leaves a "it's not you it's me" voicemail on your cellphone. Any form of communication that's not face to face is subject to mega misinterpretation and is pretty unreliable. Not to mention just plain mean.
The Mixed Message Man (or Woman)
Give 'em a little credit for at least trying to be kind. But while they're trying to spare your feelings, they end up heaping on the flattery and sweet gestures that sound like they there's still a little hope left. Maybe they're hoping to keep us dangling just in case they change their mind. Or maybe they're just genuinely sorry about breaking our hearts. Either way, we'd rather they just put an end to it and let us move on.
Well I have to admit that I am more the last one, I hate to break up with someone. I rather be the 'dumpee' and the dumper. and if possible I rather move to different county or city so I can use the long distance things to end a relationship, whicch is very pathetic I know...
Will post more, when I get some reply, hopefully...
