That’s true Alexis. How long before you could have a virtual divorce as well?

The only thing worse than a break-up email is a break-up text. It is so immature. Sad to say, its becoming way too commmon these days.

I met my wife (should say wives’ actually – second time lucky as they say!) at work and our relationship was certainly helped along by e-mails.

Not that we got as much work done as we should in that original honeymoon period. Blimey, thinking back, I just hope nobody was monitoring the mails !

Breaking up by e-mail or text is downright cowardly though….that’s why most of us men prefer it that way – lol

I’ve sent several love e-mails over the past few years, but breaking up via e-mail? Cowardly and very cold indeed… not my style.
One of my ex-girfriends broke up with me via text message almost 6 years ago – after a nice date actually!!! But nevermind that, I found someone else afterwards and we’ve celebrated our “5 years together” anniversary this Xmas

I’ve had experience both breaking up and being broken up with through email. While it can be effective, it’s a bit cold.
BTW, if you have Google Docs, pull it up. It’s arrayed in pink with a Happy Valentine’s Day message. How lovey is that?

Breaking up over email – sort of like Brittney dumping K-fed via text message – super classy!

I didn’t send an love email but I did send love blog posts since my wife was going to be stuck in the office all day. One each hour so she could check them throughout the day.

Also, I can’t imagine people thinking it is okay to break up with somebody over email. I would feel pretty cowardly if I ever did something like that.

I am actually quite surprised that 33% of men considered a “break-up email”good email etiquette. Although there is certainly no harm in sending a love letter over email, though it does depersonalize it a bit, breaking up with someone via email is definitely not an appropriate way to do it, nor could I imagine it being very effective.
