That's definitely classic bullshit -- sorry to hear!

Via *email*??? Damn.

:( did you buy the present yet?

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 21 December 2003 04:39 (twenty-one years ago)

That sucks, dude. ;(

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Sunday, 21 December 2003 04:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Jeez Louise. Well, anyone who'd do that isn't someone you wanna be with anyway, right? Go exchange her xmas gifts and buy yourself a hooker or a hot rod or a hot dog or something similarly liberating.

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Sunday, 21 December 2003 04:49 (twenty-one years ago)

well for me it was over the phone. Anyway it's the holidays, get drunk. Things will sort themselves out. Here's to 2004 and one less person in your life who sucks.

― TOMBOT, Sunday, 21 December 2003 04:51 (twenty-one years ago)

man. that truly sucks. but like, whatever!!!! get rid o those presents, call up some mates and have a big fun party, with lots of loud music and maybe they'll like bring female friends
and man.. parties and new years and shit like that is like WAY more fun if yr single!
so like, fuckin live it up on new years and on jan. 1st you'll be a new man and you can just dig being a single guy out on the prowl y know!?

― heees, Sunday, 21 December 2003 06:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I got dumped the day before Thanksgiving, but at least it was in person. However, I saw my ex for the first time today, and boy is that shitty.

So my advice: avoid him/her, don't read his/her blog/livejournal, make out with girls/boys you care about on some level, develop a SECRET CRUSH!!!! on someone.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Sunday, 21 December 2003 06:55 (twenty-one years ago)

im drunk right now so i followed some of the advce, plus I made with somee raqndom girl who I met at the bar. I think my sad stroy of woe helped a little bit, ha. fortunately I still have that receipt for season 2 of Alias, or maybe I should jsut keep it and pretend I'm datying Jennifer Garner.

back on top, guys! (hic)

― Gear! (Gear!), Sunday, 21 December 2003 12:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Two words: WELL SHIT!!!

― Lovester (Lovester), Monday, 22 December 2003 01:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Unless you've threatened to kill her or something, there is NO REASON to do something like that over email, wtf? I'll kick her ass for ya if you want.

― Allyzay, Monday, 22 December 2003 01:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Seriously, fUck that. What a spineless cretin. She should be ashamed of herself.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Monday, 22 December 2003 02:06 (twenty-one years ago)

how about finding our your girlfriend was cheating on you about a week before your birthday?

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 22 December 2003 02:18 (twenty-one years ago)

how about finding out your boyfriend cheated on you repeatedly and then exploded *because* he was *caught*? how about being thrown out on the street the day of *his* birthday *because* HE is out of control. try that one on. dumped via email ain't bad, cheer up.

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 22 December 2003 02:20 (twenty-one years ago)

It's happened to me too, but by phone instead. E-mail's pretty harsh, though. And unintentionally dorky.

― Francis Watlington (Francis Watlington), Monday, 22 December 2003 03:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I like how this went from a sympathy thread to one-upmanship. 'Tis the season!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 22 December 2003 03:12 (twenty-one years ago)

i think we can all agree that ex-girlfriends and boyfriends are totally horrible. even if they're not, they are.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Monday, 22 December 2003 03:32 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah. it's not a good scene.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 22 December 2003 03:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I think I'm gonna go the opposite route this evening and just sit at home watching "Battle Royale".

― Gear! (Gear!), Monday, 22 December 2003 03:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Question: Would it have been better or worse if you were dumped just after Christmas?

I ask on behalf of a friend who is trying to decide whether to dump first or go to her family's and do it afterwards. I'm biased, because I want him to dump her now and partake in Jewish Xmas with me.

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 22 December 2003 03:40 (twenty-one years ago)

at least she didn't give you crabs and THEN dump you!

― phil-two (phil-two), Monday, 22 December 2003 03:57 (twenty-one years ago)

The thing about being dumped over email is that the other person doesn't see your reaction and if you can hold yourself back from a quick and emotional response, you can act like you really didn't care anyway.

This happened to me last year a while after Christmas. I was making him his present and so was late with it, and he'd given me a really nice present on Christmas day. A couple of weeks later, the asshole dumped me with a 3 or 4 sentence email. So I was very happy to have a nice piece of jewelry and the knowledge that he was never getting his Christmas present. Shallow, but you have to take comfort in something.

Jordan, I think it would suck either way. He should probably do the dumping first rather than pretend nothing's wrong during the holiday and all of that though. A roommate of mine dumped her boyfriend on New Year's Eve after faking her way through Christmas. That seemed pretty harsh.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Monday, 22 December 2003 05:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Gear-

Sorry, I didn't mean to contribute to a thread de-railment. It wasn't intended as one-upmanship it was more like "hey, if your arm is bleeding look at the guy with no head and maybe it will feel better" which maybe seems lame, but it's kind of like a Bergman movie. No matter how bad it is, you aren't playing chess with Death or dying of plague.

I'm sorry that you got dumped over email. The whole concept of "dumping" is disrespectful of the time and effort both parties put into the relationship. I hope the person took your feelings into account in the actual content of the email, so even though the end result was a breakup it was done with the respect that I hope you deserved from sticking with the relationship as long as you did.

Don't drink too much or have sex just to have sex. Find better people, and you will be happy, at least that is the advice in my fortune cookie.

Hang in there.

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 22 December 2003 05:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Hrm. Was the dumping at least in the form of a funny e-card? Like maybe Oscar the Grouch or something? That'd at least blunt it for me. Oscar is a kick ass grouch.

Anyhow, I had an AIM conversation with a girlfriend once where she thought I was dumping her. I wasn't although I should've. I almost died running to her house.

I almost died again later in a freak VOLCANO ACCIDENT, but that's neither here nor there.

xpost orbit - Yes, please; wrap it up, good man.

-- fiddo centington

haha this never even happened to me. wtf was i on about?

― u saved me (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 22 December 2005 15:26 (nineteen years ago)

HOW ABOUT FINDING OUT YOUR GIRLFRIEND WAS CHEATING ON YOU ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE YOUR BIRTHDAY...WITH YOUR MOM??? HUH?????

to the question from 2 years ago about dumping before or after holidays, clearly the answer is BEFORE, ie BEFORE you get any gifts and look like an even douchier person than the dumpee is going to think you are.

yeah but xmas alone is awful

― lo66ed out, Thursday, 22 December 2005 15:31 (nineteen years ago)

yeah but this just means even more drinking, with even more of an excuse

― u saved me (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 22 December 2005 15:33 (nineteen years ago)

― u saved me (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 22 December 2005 15:33 (nineteen years ago)

also it wasnt email at least

― lo66ed out, Thursday, 22 December 2005 15:34 (nineteen years ago)

Xmas single really isnt' so bad and in some ways is better than Xmas attached.

― Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Thursday, 22 December 2005 15:34 (nineteen years ago)

it might snow here for the first time in 12 years

― lo66ed out, Thursday, 22 December 2005 15:35 (nineteen years ago)

xmas attached is kind of a pain in the ass.

xmas sucks pretty much either way, however.

― TOMBOT, Friday, 23 December 2005 15:47 (nineteen years ago)

hahahahahaha

xpost my department is slow as shit. 1) no one advertises during the holidays, unless they are selling things people might want to buy for Xmas and most people do not buy laboratory mice or industrial pharmacology products for one another to celebrate the birth of the baby Jesus 2) I don't even WORK in product, I deal with universities and biopharm firms recruitment drives and "good will" ads and conferences for fuck's sake 3) WE DON'T EVEN HAVE AN ISSUE NEXT WEEK FOR SOME REASON

Why they didn't just give us this week totally off is beyond me.

― Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Friday, 23 December 2005 15:48 (nineteen years ago)
