Really, break-ups are a dish best served privately.
On Facebook, Twitter or another social media platform
Resist the urge to let your SO know that it's over at the same time that you let everyone else in their world and yours know the same.
Among a group of friends
Really, break-ups are a dish best served privately.

Oh man. A friend of mine just got Facebook-relationship-status dumped. He woke up to two e-mail notifications: the first said she requested a change of status from ‘In a relationship’ to ‘It’s complicated’, and the next one was timestamped a whopping five minutes later saying she was switching from the unconfirmed ‘It’s complicated’ to ‘Single’. She always was a classy girl.
There’s also the always popular method my sister’s ex-boyfriend used…”I don’t want to get into a committed relationship since I’m graduating in June” (note: it was October when he came up with that one), split with her, to then enter into a “committed” relationship 2 weeks later with a girl on the same rowing team as my sister.
I want to stab this guy with a plastic fork every time I run into him at work.
I was dumped at a train station. Came to pick up my boyfriend for a weekend at my place…dinner was on the stove…he gets off the train with a bag of my things, says he “can’t do this anymore,” briefly consoles me then hops on the next train home.
Important lesson learned: if he dumps you like an a**hole, he WILL do it again.
We got back together and- surprise- he broke up with me over the phone. His battery died mid-convo and I didn’t hear from him for again.
I’m not bitter at all.
