You've got mail... and heartbreak

How many of you are perpetrators or victims of ‘digital dumping’? :wink:

Digital dumping is on the rise

*LONDON (Reuters) - Digital dumping is on the rise, according to a survey, with growing numbers of people preferring to use email and social networking Web sites to break up with their partners.

Over one third of 2,000 people polled (34 percent) said they had ended a relationship by email, 13 percent had changed their status on Facebook without telling their partners and six percent had released the news unilaterally on Twitter…*

so much for ‘facebook, what’s the big deal’ :wink:

Re: You've got mail... and heartbreak

At some point in time people use to break up after a meeting . Time changed and people started breaking up on a phone call . Now its time for email and facebook . Just different medium but sentiments are still the same .

Re: You've got mail... and heartbreak

Just gotta do it on Facebook. Change your status from In a relationship to single and watch the abuse fly!

lol :hehe: i agree :smiley:

Waisay seriously this online approach has been accepted mostly by our female counterparts who find it easy to end things hiding behind a computer screen :slight_smile:

Chickens.

It is bad enough breaking up, but via email/text is selfish, cowardly and cold. The least the person deserves is an explanation and a chance for proper closure.

Didn't Cheryl Cole dump her hubby by text? Can't say I blame her tbh

thats just sad :k:

Unlike the guys who don’t dump at all and just see two (or more) girls at once :smiley:

Seem to be a lot of ‘my fiance was seeing someone else’ stories on here lately..

well, i guess ppl cant keep their pants on, that does not give the right to girls to burn the nice guys who controlled themselves :D
