Today, I received a break-up text while in a cramped car with my whole family. I had to choke back tears as we got stuck in traffic with the radio playing one love song after another. FML
Hey, OP here!
I think I should point out that my girlfriend and I were in a half-long-distance relationship (same college but we live so far away from each other outside of the school year), so face-to-face wasn't exactly an option at the time. Though, I still would've appreciated a Skype/phone call over a text.
But I was more upset that she told me what she thought of our relationship at such an inopportune time (I couldn't really let myself look upset so I had to hold it in), not to mention it was pretty unexpected (we saw our relationship going in different directions apparently). So I was pretty crushed when I opened the message.
Oh, and for those wondering, my family knows NOTHING about my love life, so they had no clue about me having a girlfriend in the first place. That's the main reason why I didn't mention it.
Luckily, we're now talking it out and we'll hopefully come to a mutual decision that will make us both happy in the long run. So no, I don't hate her or think she's an awful person simply for going about it the way she initially did.
Thanks for the support, everyone. :)
What's next, breaking up via drone?
