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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to break up with my girlfriend at her request, because she "didn't have the heart to do it." Within twenty minutes I'd received four calls from mutual friends, including my best friend, telling me what a jerk I am. And one from my mom. FML
Today, I received a text from my boyfriend breaking up with me. Not only was this a bit cowardly but he'd also sent it in a reply to our last interaction on our phones, a group chat with some of our friends, who started commenting with sad face emojis before I had even had the chance to see it. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because "we don't communicate enough". She got her friend to tell me this for her. FML
Today, I sent my abusive girlfriend a text, explaining I was breaking up with her via text because I was afraid for my physical safety if I broke up with her in person. She video chatted me less than five seconds later from our doctor's office, where the doctor confirmed she is in fact pregnant. FML
Today, I got a text from my girlfriend saying she needed more phone credit, so I bought her more and got another message saying "Great, now I have enough credit for this..." as she spelled out a three page message breaking up with me. Yes, I paid for her to break up with me via text. FML
Today, my boyfriend was such a coward that instead of breaking up with me, he changed his phone number. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because I didn't call her in the last few days. I tried to explain to her that I was out at my grandfather's house in a remote place with no cell service to stand by him on his death bed. She thought I was making excuses and called me a lying bastard. FML
Today, I broke up with my girlfriend. She responded by sitting on the floor, crying like a baby and screaming "WHY?" at strangers. FML
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
Today, my ex-girlfriend told my entire family and all my friends that we broke up because I came out to her. They all believe her. Twenty two texts and counting. FML

Well of course they will jump to conclusions because it just looks bad. Just tell them what happened

If she was avoiding you so much you should have just considered yourselves broken up.

Of course they did.... They're guys and that's what guys do. Do it in person or deal with it

So he should be forced to stay in a relationship he doesn't want to be in?

You couldn't call and leave a voicemail? That's at least a little better than text. Still, sorry your friends won't listen.

If they don't want to hear your side of the story they aren't really your friends.

You couldn't have just said you needed to talk?

Should've told everyone you know that you've broken up. Word would've gotten to that crazy girl. There's no escaping a dumping.

If she was avoiding you then you've effectively broken up anyhow. She won't have been wanting to hang out or go on a date since she's avoiding you so the best idea would have been to get on with life as though its already happened and to make sure all your friends know she's been avoiding you. If she does happen to make contact after that then BAM, you've got her and can break up properly.

That really sucks. At least you know how it went down and thats what counts. Time to lick your wounds and move on.
