Texting Heartbreak

Most people agree that breaking up with someone via an SMS or instant messaging or even email, is just plain rude and even cowardly.

However, most offenders seem to be still at school, so perhaps they can be forgiven their lack of social graces.

What is also common with texted break ups is that the receiver of the text was so disgusted by the way they were informed that they felt better off without the sender, recognising their cowardice and lack of commitment to the relationship.

An informal survey indicates that if a relationship is still young – less than a few weeks old – text break ups seemed more forgivable.

There was also considerable anger with break up messaged delivered in public online forums such as myspace and facebook.

One woman wrote that when she went through the phonebook of her cell phone, she was surprised to find her partner listed as “Ex-boyfriend”. He had obviously accessed her cell phone and made edit as a cowardly way of getting his message across.

Another young woman was sitting beside her partner, both playing with their cell phones, and she received his text that it was now all over.

But can it be argued, that with the rise in technology, and the decline of the traditional art of letter writing, that we are just seeing a new version of a “Dear John” message?

What do you think? Do you have any relationship horror stories revolving around texting? I’d love to hear them!
