So my daughter, a senior in college, gets a text message from her boyfriend at 6:00 AM this morning that he's breaking up with her.
Really ?!? A TEXT? And he couldn't have waited until this evening?
Can I make this a non-softball rant: When did we stop teaching our kids how to do the decent thing?
Younger people break up all the time. That's not the point. At least have the decency to do it in a phone conversation, or, better yet, in person. One side of the break up will be hurt, and probably then mad, maybe even curse you profusely and throw a few things. But that's the way it's supposed to happen. There is no easy way to do this.
You'll be respected more, eventually, by having enough courage to say goodbye in some way other than a text message.
