nope, its seriously fucking cowardly to do even the phone is better. ive had a relatioship (before we said we were bf/gf) called off over the phone. ive always broken up with guys face to face, and in private. to do it in public (as an ex did to me) is pretty cruel too. or at least it is for me, since im a cryer. so i was crying in teh park alone and got all sunburnt and had to walk home and it was just generally a shitty situation
