I have a simple question. Most people agree that break-ups should be done in person. But what if it's a long distance relationship, it doesn't make economical sense to buy a plane ticket, break-up, have moments of awkwardness, and fly home. Would it be acceptable to do this over the phone or a well -written letter sent in the mail?
Well, within reason, the breakup should be in person. This assumes that you are seeing the other person frequently.
On the other hand, if your boyfriend lives far away enough to necessitate a plane ticket, then I think a phone call is understandable.
I just have always felt that writing letters or sending e-mails are the vehicle of last resort, because it means you don't respect the person enough to discuss it like an adult.
I perfer to let them find me in bed with another woman. Much better closure and the look on their face is priceless.
Anyway, of course it's always better to do it in person. Why? Well, if the two of you decide not to break up, the scene is often followed by hot steamy sex. Either way, you win!

Thoughts?
Well, thats why some of us (I, for one) would never do and never have done a long distance relationship in the first place. Not that they all turn out bad, but many dont feel its a wise idea.
But secondly, depending on the person, not knowing their reaction could be violent or not, would have a lot to do with whether its by phone or in person. Thats sort of a catch-22 question.
If it's not practicable to do it in person, I would say that phone is the next best thing. IMO, it's more respectful, as it gives the other person a chance to respond at the time.
If you break up via email you get to miss all the drama of doing it to her face. (But you don't get to keep all of the nasty emails that she keeps sending you).

I have been there and done that(and posted about it as a matter of fact)
I do NOT recommend that method if there are loaded guns in the house tho'.....IF I ever HAVE to do that again,I will know and it won't be as big of a scene as it was last time.
Do it over the phone. I've been in a long distance relationship and I had to do that. Why buy an expensive plane ticket for such an unfortunate experience?
Plus in these days it may be safer to do it over the phone as opposed to in person.
whatever you do, don't do it over email or txt. It's lame and it hurts the other person bad, especially if they didnt see it coming.
