Love, Break-ups and Social Media: Communication Breakdown

Communication Breakdown

By Anonymous - 18/04/2021 17:00

Today, I just called my now ex-girlfriend to break up with her, due to our insurmountable lack of communication, even though I was in therapy for four months to try and keep the relationship afloat. Before breaking up, she'd blocked me on Facebook, Whatsapp, Twitter and Instagram for no reason. FML

Social media was a mistake

Today, my now ex-girlfriend dumped me because I refuse to open an account on Facebook, Instagram or whatever. Four years ago, I had to retire from social media for good because another ex-girlfriend was harassing me frequently. No, I didn't have any children with that ex, if that's what you think. FML

Today, after weeks of my crazy girlfriend avoiding me because she knew I wanted to break up with her, I had no option but to do it by text. She told all my friends, who now think I'm a coward who isn't man enough to break up in person. They didn't even ask for my side of the story. FML

Today, my girlfriend, after 9 months of coffee shop dates and sharing bottles of wine, relaxing, expressing our love for each other, decided it was time to end our relationship by telling me that she actually wasn't happy, and had her and all of her friends and family block me on every social media.

Today, I had to break up with my girlfriend on her request because she "didn't have the heart to do it." Within twenty minutes I'd received 4 calls from mutual friends, including my best friend, telling me what a jerk I am. And one from my mom. FML

Doesn't seem that either one should be too upset since you both came to the same conclusion.

Good. She made it easier for you. The quicker the breakup, the quicker you move forward.

Sounds like a win, completely guilt free break up.

She's doing it for you. Just forget about her and move on now. No explanation needed

It takes two to keep a relationship going, but it only takes one to end it. Whatever the relationship problems were, it’s over now. Now it’s time to move on. Try not to to make the same mistakes in the future, but also try not to over-compensate for the past. I figure we all make mistakes sometimes, but I prefer to make new mistakes than to keep repeating the old ones.
