Oh So Sorry!
There are ways, and then there are ways of doing things, for instance this actually happened to someone I love very, very dearly... my daughter.
She has been in a committed relationship for about three years. She and her aunt and cousin went to Texas for a vacation and they were gone for 10 days. While they were gone my daughter got to get online only twice...the second time she got online she went to her friends Facebook page and noticed that she had changed her status to "single and available"...
So she called her friend and her friend was indeed breaking up with her!!!
To say she was devastated is putting it mildly...being her mother it really tore me up to see her in so much pain, and it didn't help that she got a call from another friend from CHINA to ask her if it was true etc....she was humiliated and felt absolutely horrible....I am FURIOUS!!! Who the HELL does a break-up online? WTF!!!! The good news is that I did not know about this until her friend was no longer around, because otherwise I would be writing this blog from a jail cell:(

What a Bitch!
After you've been with someone for 3 f***ing years, you'd think you'd have a deep enough relationship with them to at least break up with them in person. Unbelievable!
Frankly, I think your daughter is lucky to be rid of someone who is this callous and unfeeling. But even considering how lucky she is to be rid of such a creep, I know it will hurt for a long time. Please send her all my love.
I will PW thank you:)

It is so absolutely unbelievable to me that she could be so bloody callous...she claimed it was all a "mistake"...but let me tell ya...my kid is hurting so therefore so am I...But I did tell my daughter that she is NOT a victim and that if any of her friends start the "Oh poor, poor you" crap, she is to tell them that "it was a mutual understanding" kind of deal. UGH UGH UGH!!
No, she's not a victim but she certainly has been
poorly treated and I think she should tell the world that she does not deserve that kind of treatment. Mutual misunderstanding, my ass.
I know PW but I am just looking for a way

for her pride to be less stomped on than this...She is doing a bit better every day and is totally ignoring her now "ex"...and of course her ex is a drama queen from hell, so she is trying desperately to contact her to "see how she's doing" ARGH @#$%$#@****!!!
"Oops, I forgot to tell you
"Oops, I forgot to tell you that I want to break up. Sorry you had to read it on Facebook, since shit like breaking up just slips my mind. Have a lovely time in Texas, and lots of luck in your next relationship."
Now how in the hell is that possibly a mistake? Sorry to be so hateful, but it sounds like the only mistake was wasting 3 years on someone who is so devoid of humanity. Fortunately, it's a mistake that's easily remedied. Best to your daughter, and I hope she is quick to realize that she is not at fault here.
She will get over this IG
http://bloggerparty.com/blog/sassys
the best news here is she has a giant Jewish/Irish family to fall back on...but the fact that her cousin called her from China kind of threw her for a loop ya know:( Her ex is an only child and the one issue I always had with her was her "Queen Bee" status (at least in her own mind) it used to irk the living crap out of me...so at least I no longer have to worry that QB will be demanding anything lately. Time heals all wounds and I told my daughter that she needs time to mourn her loss and to not play into the phony games "Are you ok after I devastated you??? I wanna know just HOW BAD do you really feel?" That kind of shit just kills me.
Wow, how insensitive!
Well, at lest her girlfriend didn't take her on the Jerry Springer show! But, this is still too public a way to break up anyway. I don't like breaking up with someone ~ it's an awful, awful feeling to know that you're hurting someone you've been close to. BUT, I still suck-it-up and do it! And, after 3 years there's no good reason to let everyone else know first! Even if she'd not seen the page, her friends and her ex's friends would have seen it. Lord, I can only imagine if one of your daughter's friends had broken the news to her by asking if it was true. That would have been even worse than the way she did find out because she would have been forced to say "Um, what break up? What do you mean it's on myspace??".
They may be young and still going to make stupid mistakes, but there's no excuse for this kind of cruelty! She has beyond reason to be furious and so do you.
Please send her my love and good wishes! Her pride will be justifiably hurt for a while, but someone better is out there somewhere.

The only pity I have for my daughters ex Spooky is
http://bloggerparty.com/blog/sassys
knowing that she has lost one of the coolest people and that she will suffer that loss when one day she wakes up and notices that "ooops, I lost the REAL artist" And because my daughter is a real artist, she feels things that much more keenly. Live and learn.
So true sassy
And she'll also come to deal with karma. Who knows how long it'll take, but at some point someone will "do her" in a way that makes her think back to now and wish she'd been kinder.

The saddest thing here Spooky is that
http://bloggerparty.com/blog/sassys
my daughter would never wish that on her friend...she is literally the least spiteful person I know...and all that despite the fact that I am her mother...now me? Nah...I am not as kind:)
Well, Sassy
Just remind her it's not about spite, it's about hoping that her ex will even tually learn from this. It's a crappy thing, but the biggest lessons for us all usually come from karma kicking our ass!

My Daughter is going through a breakup too
But she is the one who broke off a 4 year relationship. Her ex just won't let her go and is making big time waves in public places. He calls her 50 times a day and beats on her door until she finally opens it. He drives around until he finds her car....the obsession has been terrible. I told him that you can't make someone love you. It is either there or it isn't. He asked me how she could fall out of love over-night. But see, the thing is....it didn't happen overnight.....it happened over a long process of verbal abuse, having her needs ignored and his selfishness. At least she told him to his face what was happening and why.
Tell your daughter that doors can be opened and closed and to close that door and move on. I know she is heart-broken now and it will take time, but things always work out for the best in the long run. She will meet someone better suited to her IF she reflects over the last three years and figures out why the relationship ended. I have a feeling that QB is a self centered person who has no regards for anyone other than herself. I imagine your daughter will be better off with someone less domineering and more sensitive to your daughter's needs. The sad thing is......it is your daughter who should have ditched the bitch long before now.
Oooooo Mz. Zola you nailed it!

If it hadn't been for my daughter being dumped in such a horrendous way I would be singing to anyone who would listen to me sing...I did tell my daughter that she would now be able to at least save money being that she doesn't have to support her friends every little whim...she tended to like the finer things in life but didn't have a job, and that the only place to go from here is up.
I am sorry to hear about your daughter and her dilemma this guy she broke up with sounds obsessed alright, and that can be scary and somewhat dangerous...I wish her the best and hope she stays alert and careful.
That's stunning, Sassys,...
things really have changed drastically since we were young, haven't they? Facebook, email, text messaging,... classless ways to end relationships, if you ask me. I'm glad you're strong for your daughter.

I gotta say on behalf of my
I gotta say on behalf of my generation (I'm guessing I'm *fairly* close to Sassy's daughter's age), there have always been classless people. If Facebook didn't exist, it would just be some different, tacky, inexcusable way for a very small number of people to avoid doing anything they might have to feel. Remember the old story of the guy going out for cigarettes and never coming back? I think tacky people have always existed.
IG tacky people? LOL
http://bloggerparty.com/blog/sassys
Egads tacky people not only exist they come in all ages and races...some even become President. So PM me and tell me how old you are and I will tell you if you are correct:) I don't really see this as a matter of taste so much as a matter of sheer laziness and cowardliness. But then again I tend to be very direct...er some would say too direct.
Thank you Catfish

I wish sometimes that time could fly just a tad faster...I do believe that time heals all kinds of things......I would give up the convenience of the computer and cell phones etc. if it meant my daughter could be spared this pain. Her "friend" wont leave her alone now either, she keeps calling and texting her...but my kid is very stubborn, she has yet to respond and I am very, very proud of her for that...at least her dignity will be somewhat saved. It's almost like I have to remind her that she was the one that was dumped.
Okay, explain that one, Sassys,...
the other person ended the relationship, and now is calling and doing all this stuff for what reason? Actually, I have a friend who kind of did the same thing. He told the woman he didn't want to continue to pursue a romantic relationship with her, then kept calling her and writing her because he didn't want to be perceived as the bad guy, hoping to remain friends with her. He eventually got his wish, though it took a year. I thought it was nervy at the time, and I still think it took a lot of, well, gall, but she acquiesced and they're friends once again, though nothing like before. Just odd, if you ask me.

Your friend Catfish was indeed nervy
http://bloggerparty.com/blog/sassys
but the difference is I know this friend very well, being that they were together for 3 years...and trust me when I tell you this is more like drama for the sake of drama...the fact that my daughter is ignoring this friend is too much for the "friend" to bear....so the constant "look at me" will continue. The reaction her other mutual friends are giving her is interesting, one really does find out who's a real friend and who's in it for the sheer sake of the blasted drama...once you get to know me well, you will understand that I avoid drama like I would avoid the plague. I am currently teaching my daughter that same lesson...a drama free life is always worth it.
