Quiet dumping is a thing now?

Today, I found out my boyfriend was “quiet dumping” me. He thought treating me like shit to the point of me leaving the relationship would be easier than him having to tell me he’s cheating on me. Apparently he didn’t want to “hurt my feelings” Well played, you bastard. FML
I agree, your life sucks 1 102
You deserved it 130

Same thing different taste

There’s not really a great way to break up. But this seems to take the prize for a gutless approach to breaking up… OP, you are going to be better off without someone like this in your life. Allow yourself the personal space to grieve the loss of your relationship you thought you had and even to be a little bit angry. But what’s most important is to figure out your next steps in your life… By the way, no matter what someone else did or didn’t do, only a childish fool damages another person’s property. You have no right to do that and doing so can get you into legal jeopardy and brand you as a nut job to stay away from.

I’m sorry I gotta ask, what’s with the men y’all choose? Like seriously? Yeah I get there’s no such thing as Prince Charming, but lately I’ve been reading stories of women with these trash men. Men who cheat, men who treat their partners shitty, men who don’t take care of their kids…like why are we putting up with this. Just be single instead. Why are women actively procreating with guys of a negative IQ. That aside, I’m very sorry for your situation & that is absolutely terrible, I hope karma gets him & I hope you find happiness and peace being better off without such a terrible partner

what is with the man species recently? they okay? can they just not communicate anymore? kinda similar situation, just told me we're too toxic and need to break up, to go with his baby mama that he left her when she was pregnant and hid it from me, for me in the first place

That's actually not "quite dumping" you that's just him being a douchebag 😉, quiet dumping is when you ignore and drift away from your other partner intentionally, not be a abusive d-bag. Good luck 😃 out there it's rough dating nowadays 🙂

You make it sound new like "quiet quitting" (which used to be called "loafing.) It's one of the oldest male strategies! Telling the next girl you dumped your previous one doesn't work so well. Telling her you got dumped gets you laid 86% of the time. Sabotaging a relationship to get dumped is old news.

Breakups are hard, is there even a correct way to do it? I've seen someone's FML break up here for almost every possibility.

Alternatively, I've known guys who breakup out of the blue and that really seems to hurt the most.
