Engagement broken off…by text message
“CHICAGO — Taking a break from her job at a Michigan Avenue cafe, Jennifer Brun slides her cell phone across the table, offering a glimpse of her life-shattering moment.
On the screen is a text message from her former fiance.
“I’ve lost so much hope, and so much optimism, and so much brightness,” the message reads. “I need time to rebuild that. Time alone. To myself. I need to live by myself for a while.”
That is how Brun’s boyfriend of two years, with whom she’d been living for 11 months and planned to marry, broke up with her.”
Damn. At least I had the stones to end my engagement face to face.
Seriously. Can you imagine?
That is harsh… You have to be a serious asshole to break up with someone via text messaging.
Sounds like a keeper :) Dude is giving guys a bad rap, we should go beat him up!
At least she wasn’t the same woman who’s job broke up with her via text message. That could create some life-long issues. And a phobia of texting.
And hey, now she knows what type of guy he really is. So in the future, if he ever wants her back, she can text him “Fuck You”.
wait a minute, you heard about someone getting FIRED via text message? Score another point for the “Human Resources” department!
yep…
Also, I just saw a pic of the woman who was dumped. She’s cute, she’ll have no trouble finding someone else.
Sure enough, Steven has his shit straight: “U.K. worker fired by text message- The company defends firing-by-text as a way to ‘keep modern'”

Damn, it’s a crazy world we live in. Thanks Steven! Maybe I ought to run a dating contest for the jilted young lady just so she can rub her former fiancee’s nose in it.
The worst part is, if she didn’t have a txt plan she probably had to PAY for him to break up with her!
Sorry, you pay for receiving txts???
My assumption is that they also had sex before marriage.
After sampling the goods, the guy might lose interest.
It’s a fact the sex before marriage increases the likelyhood of divorce after marriage.
Um, yeah…that must be it. Things just haven’t been the same since women started wearing slacks.
