Eric and I have been dating for 4 months. We’ve hung out together a lot, always having a great time. We text each other often throughout the day, since both of our employers frown on personal phone calls. We spent many evenings together at the beach, movies, clubs and friends’ places. We are physically and socially very attracted to each other.

Today, after having lunch we engaged in a long hot passionate kiss.  Neither one of us wanted to go back to work but we had to.

ONE HOUR LATER he text me saying it’s all over. I sent a text and called him right away but he did not answer. By this evening I’ve sent him several texts, emails and have left messages on his phone. I’ve gone by his place but he’s not there.

I don’t understand. At lunch he showed no signs of breaking up. Out of nowhere he dumps me via a TEXT MESSAGE! I don’t know what to do. If he wanted to break up, why was he so affectionate at lunch? Why couldn’t he be a man and tell me in person? Or at least call me… but text me. Texting…it’s a mean, heartless, cowardly way of splitting up. - Jessica

Some lovers are turning to text message to say it’s over.  While hiding behind technology might appear a cowardly way of splitting up, some guys simply drop all communication with their lovers without notice.

Most of us send emails and texts everyday, so it comes as no surprise they are now being used to ditch someone — however distasteful it may be. Obviously, this guy doesn’t deserve you…so go out and find someone new.
