This document discusses why breaking up via text or social media is inappropriate and hurtful. It provides statistics showing that over 25% of relationships in the past year ended via text message. Breaking up face-to-face is preferable as it allows both people to have an open conversation and provides closure. Doing so via technology removes intimacy and leaves the person being dumped with many unanswered questions. While technology facilitates relationships, it should not be used to end them, as people deserve basic human respect even after a relationship concludes.
