Do not breakup with someone over the phone!
Can I just vent over here for a sec? Thanks Tumblr fam.
So Saturday night I texted my now ex boyfriend because things seemed a little off lately. I essentially said,Ā āAre we okay?ā He responded with a long reply so I was like how about we talk on the phone a bit later about this when I can give you my full attention. Skip ahead to later and I call him. We talk for a bit and he essentially gives me a bullshitĀ āitās not you, itās meā speech and thatĀ āyou deserve betterā (which I do but thatās not the point here).
Long story short he breaks up with me over the phone. OVER THE PHONE. I actually just realized that he broke up with me on our one month of being official (exclusive boyfriend/girlfriend), which is totally shitty.Ā
I mean itās not like I wasnāt considering breaking up with him. After our last date on Wednesday it was almost as if he wasnāt there and I left the date thinking about breaking up with him. Lately he hadnāt been responding to my texts like he usually would and I was usually the one who would forget to text back. Iām not needy but the way he acted towards me completely changed and I wasnāt liking it at all. (I also wasnāt enjoying kissing him as much and I kind of wasnāt attracted to the way he smelled.. but thatās a whole different problem)Ā
Anyway, instead of just breaking up with him right away, I decided to ask him about it, like a mature human being. But he decides to break up with me over the freaking phone. I would have never broken up with him over the phone. What kind of person does that?! Itās break up 101 not to do that!!! Donāt be a shitty person and have the common courtesy to break up with someone in person. Doing it over the phone (talking or texting) makes it hurt even worse for the person youāre breaking up with, making them think that you never cared about them to begin with. Yes, breaking up with someone in person is awkward and just kind of the worst but coming from someone whoās going through a break up right now, just do it in person.
Iām probably not taking the breakup well because of two things. Number one. Iāve never been broken up with, Iāve always been the one to end things with the other person. The loss of power in the situation is really getting to me and Iām kind of wishing that I did it first. Number two. My body has fantastic timing and Iām sick right now. Whenever Iām sick, I have absolutely no control over my emotions.Well, at least Iām not on my period right now.
Okay, well Iām done. If you read this cool, I hope you learned something about not being shitty and thanks for listening to my rants. Feel free to share your shitty break up stories as well or cheer me up with animal gifs. If youāre my older sister who follows me on tumblr,Ā āDonāt worry Iām fine. I just canāt sleep right now because my cough is the literal worst and Iām feeling pretty self pitying at the moment. I just needed to get this out, itās kind of therapeutic for me.ā
In conclusion, I do deserve better than someone who canāt even give me the common courtesy of breaking up with me in person. I have already deleted his number and unfollowed/unfriended/unadded him on all social media. I will be okay and I will move on when Iām ready.Ā
Thank you tumblr fam and goodnight!Ā
