Mope around like some emo for a week or two, drink two much for a month or two, then act like a man and find a better girlfriend and then trot her out in front of the old girlfriend.

he/she should get back on the horse immediately, preferably with one of her friends. That'll show her.

Guys always get this wrong.

You don't bang her best friend to get revenge.

You bang the woman who your ex hates - calls her a two faced bitch, is jealous of her, says mean things behind her back, etc.

That's how you win the breakup game.

consider yourself lucky; imagine how you'd feel if the email said she was pregant or had herpes. if you must reply, a simple thank you-- nothing else-- will suffice. side Q: do you have any of panties?

Just say it's all good, your other girlfriend was putting pressure on you to be a one woman guy.

I ended a multi-month relationship via e-mail. Spit happens...move on.

You are a spineless c-unt though ... so what does that have to do with him?

I really want to do a line-by-line reply to all these response, but I'm a little short on time now. Frustrating.

This is a worthy reply. No more than what's quoted.

Gotta go buy your girlfriend a box of chocolates and a tedsy bear, then go rub peppermint foot cream into her calluses?

Your man card has been revoked.

Yea, so my girlfriend of 10 months said she wanted to break up through email. I am of the opinion that people in committed relationships should only chat about serious matters through some verbal means. Ironically, she read a thread on reddit for advice about what to do about the relationship. Which relates to another relationship rule of mine, be wary about relationship advice from message boards, because random people on the Internet cannot fully understand your relationship and the people in the relationship.

I don't even know if I should respond.

Ghost her.

(google if needed.)

I know what ghosting is. Mature adults actually are able to reasonably chat about things, offer suggestions, respond to criticisms without being overly emotional, and not simply disappear. I don't have time for this ghosting nonsense, especially not with someone that I've spent so much time with. It seems like something that does not benefit either party in any manner, except for the avoidance of confrontation and very real feelings.

True, but she is not mature.

You need to stay in character. The premise was she dumped you via email and you came here for laughs not advice. It was a bad troll to begin with, adding in laziness 0/10.

Email her back and say it's cool I kind of lost my attraction to you now that you put on so much weight and then ask for her younger sister's number.

I consider my response to ghosting suggestions to be more of a PSA for all the young letsrunners out there. I'll try to keep more to my original intentions, thanks.

I broke up w/ a woman through e-mail. We hadn't dated that long. Maybe four months or so.

I didn't want to do it that way. It was my intention to do it in person.

Unfortunately one of the reasons I was breaking up with her is that she was not very good at communicating. I tried to get together with her several times. I don't know if she was avoiding my calls or simply ignoring them. However, eventually I gave up and just sent her an e-mail.

Ladies, do you have an opinion on this?

Make a powerpoint about why you can't accept her break-up. Make sure to thank her for considering!

If you're convinced that the relationship is indeed over, you shouldn't respond to her email at all.

You don't have time for something that requires no time?
