in Chit-Chat
This is the appropriate way to notify her, right? I mean, it has been almost 9 years, I should probably do better than to just ignore her calls until she gets the message.

    Whatever happened to just stop calling? Or my favorite, wait till she's out on a girls night out and call her friend and tell her to tell your wife that you have changed your locks and sent the kids to military school, away from her.

    I think this is the classiest way to do it.

    If it's on Facebook, it's official. I say go for it.

    After nine years I think you should at least send a personal text. I know it's a lot of effort and kind of putting your feelings out there on the table, but we in society must maintain minimal standards of politeness in these awkward life transitions. :tongue:

    When she leaves town to visit family, send her a picture at 3am with "positive" results for an STD test... tell her to get tested, and never respond to any form of communication ever again.

    No no no...you're doing it all wrong. You start out slowly by putting "it's complicated."

    Things will just snowball from there, I promise.

    I thought you were supposed to start by posting every day about how wonderful she is and how much you love her and what a great, perfect, lovery-dovey relationship you have and make everyone sick before the big dump.

    No. That is a very good way to end up on one of those crime shows that have titles like 'Snapped'. As the victim.

    9 years!... you probably should have a conversation about it..

    I just totally took OFF the relationship status totally on FB and he saw it a week later.... still didnt get it.. thought there was a problem with FB....

    I have a corporate & personal line: "I think we are growing in more diverse and different/opposite directions. I wouldnt want to stifle your potential and creativity .. so I am offering you this opportunity to grow. Unfortunately, the direction you are growing in is not conducive to our/my work/personal life model or structure. Good luck with All your endeavors and prosperity....

    How else am I going to know when my Grandma sets a new high score in Candy Crush or what the political views are of people I went to High School with but never really talked to or were friends with?

    I thought drunk texting while they were away was the answer?

    I see this is probably a better solution though.

    I vote SnapChat a 4 second pic that says "We broke Up" -- you choose the pic.

    Nothing says it's over like posting a pic of you with your new flame on Instagram.

    After nine years she deserves better than a d-bag that doesn't have the balls to break up in person!

    I appreciate it when folk take the time, thought, & effort for the personal touch when dumping someone.

    Recruiting a flash mob would be far classier.

    what happened to the good old days when you called and left a message on thier machine?

    (no I am not that old, everyone else just took all of my ideas! lol)

    but vote for any of the above mentioned options-- IG, snap chat, even a tweet might work!!

    Are you married? If not, propose, but when you get down on one knee and pop open the box, instead of a ring have a note that says "Just kidding! Welcome to Dumpsville. Population - You."


    If you're already married, have the divorce papers served on her via singing telegram by a middle aged man in a gorilla suit.


    If you're gonna do it, you owe her a story that will get her free drinks at a bar for life.
