My heart breaks for the poor young woman who lost a baby only to have her ex-partner not care in the least. I hope she finds the one for her that's going to love her the way she deserves.

"Not me, I got a vasectomy. I shoot blanks"

Jono I love that you normalized a male birth contraceptive method

Laughed so hard when you said "coward". An ex broke up with me by text, so I went to his place and confronted him. And called him a coward. Painful but glorious to be able to say it to his face.

My first fiance broke up with me over AIM ("it's not you, it's me") after all of his friends (some of whom were my friends before they even met him) spent a week gleefully sending me pictures of him with his brand new girlfriend. He'd apparently told everyone I had dumped him a month beforehand and they thought they were avenging his feelings. That was 15 years ago, and even though I've been over him for a long time, I still have nightmares about that breakup, and I've never fully recovered my ability to trust people.

"You shouldn't be having sex if you're not willing to step up and be responsible for what that could lead to."

That poor girl... To go through a miscarriage is so hard and to not even have the person who was the father care is heart breaking. What an AHole.

I broke up with my BF over txt because he forced me to do things I said no too and that he knew were against my values. In other words he SA me and I couldn't bear to see him again after that.

I'm glad that you added the part about it being ok to do if you're in an abusive relationship. It's how I had to leave my ex, because I knew if I left while he was there then it would have been dangerous. Or he would have manipulated me and pulled me back in again. I never felt bad for the way I left him, I had to do what was right for me. But thank you for validating this. It took a weight off my shoulders that I didn't know was there.

Breakup texts are awful, but while I was dating, I would've preferred a breakup text over ghosting any day. Ghosting is the ultimate cowards way out.

[koalaeucalyptus]

The "I don't want you to get sick of me" one really makes me sad. My partner was like that, and sometimes his insecurities still affect him to the point of thinking I'll get tired of him and leave. My partner was pretty badly treated in abusive relationships, and it makes me sad that this continues to be a source of anxiety for the person I love.

My first ever boyfriend in high school tried to do the whole "get me to break up with him first by being a 'bad boyfriend' for a week" routine, and just as I was gearing up to bite the bullet and do it myself, he sent me a message over Facebook saying "Breaking up with you, don't ask why, will explain later". In the moment I wasn't that upset, just glad it was over, but looking back on it I'm just flabbergasted at the audacity of that message. He hadn't changed or matured at when I saw him again 6 years later, so I consider it a bullet dodged.

"So the easiest way is just through a text"

No, Jono, the easiest is to actually just disappear and cut contact.
Which was very cowardly of me, but in my defense, we were kids.

[qpurple]

I know you won't see this
but I just want to say thank you especially about the Integrity line, " you learn to love yourself when you live in integrity", cuz I'm learning a lot about myself and how to be a better person by just watching you.
Your children are very lucky to have you.

[kittimcconnell]

A LOT of us had zero emotional training at home. That doesn't mean we are assholes; we stumble along, learning as we go. Glad that younger folk have teachers here like Jono. I am 53 and am really glad for therapy I've had in the past, and glad for this channel's refreshers in good humaning.

My first ex did the whole "well it's your decision" thing in order to get me to break up with him. Then later I was forced to break up with another very toxic ex over the phone since I wasn't gonna be the asshole that texted her "I'm done". She ended up telling me she hated me for doing it over the phone. Funny thing was she had been avoiding me for 2 months by then and I couldn't meet up with her in person to break up with her properly.

[ladosis]

My friend recently had to break up with her live-in boyfriend because HE REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE the in person breakup attempts... He had slowly made himself comfortable in her apartment and wound up living there... She had to essentially leave his stuff packed up to pick up and break up via text and low-key ban him from the building

[emmanyc]

I had a partner come over to my house despite me insisting that I was not in a good mindset to talk. He showed up anyways, so I popped two ativan and sat there while he read out a 59 page powerpoint outlining how horrible I was to him. I was so broken from the relationship that I couldn't respond. He emailed me the powerpoint later that night. He also sent several horrible text exchanges over the next few months, but finally apologized for his behavior maybe six months later.
Sometimes the toxic person doesn't realize they should just send a text instead of trying to talk about it in person.
He had horrible grammar and couldn't spell for the life of him, so at least I got a good drinking game out of the powerpoint

[len_pheonix]

I never realized how much I appreciate my ex for having the guts to actually call me and break up with me until now. I'm sure he would've told me in person if he were able (long story), he was a good guy and it's a shame that I had to lose him as a friend too because we were really good friends before we dated.

[EnglishMuffin]

I feel awful for that woman who had a miscarriage. I am glad for her that that person is not in her life anymore because he sounds horrific, but what a traumatic way to have things end. I hope she finds a healthy relationship. ❤️

Jonathan: I need to keep my voice low because of the screaming I did last night
Also Jonathan: Yelling at people who broke up via text
😅

[shinumi]

The only time in my life I broke up with someone via text was because I saw him with another girl and I told him, if he had a girlfriend I didn't want anything to do with him because even if what we had was casual I wasn't going to be the other woman... well... he didn't have a girlfriend, he was married, his wife saw my text and filed for divorce... funny thing is that I'd been to his place a few times and his place was bare, messy and basic, like, his place screamed Uni student, not "married couple" So I'm guessing my texts were just the excuse she needed to finally leave him (according to friends she travelled a lot for work and that's why their place was so barren of her presence, but... she stopped travelling immediately after they splitted) He asked me a few months after if I thought ill of him and I honestly answered "I don't think about you at all, I'm sorry your marriage is over, but you lied to me and I'm not that type of girl"
