Surely it depends on your age?


If you're thirteen, then text message is almost de rigueur these days. Or get a friend to simply phone and say "you're dumped" whilst you giggle in the background, high on solvents and cider.


Angst-ridden teenagers dumping their longer-term partners would be best to go with a letter. This way you can spill your guts in an ill-advised emotional missive - one you're sure to regret writing almost the instant you've sent it.


Anything over the age of thirty and cohabiting: my advice would be to gradually become cold and detached over a long period of time until it finally dawns on your partner that you haven't had sex for two years and you always delete text messages the instant you receive them.

See, thats why I always end relationships by fax, it has the emotion of a letter coupled with the detatchment of the text. It just seems to work. Voicemail is another good way but just check that you can leave more than a 20sec message at one time or else you keep having to call back, which becomes tedious.

DPF, one message is sufficient. After all,


there's no need to discuss much.

But 20 seconds barely gives you time to explain how "its not you, its me", I think you should allocate 1 minute of phone message per year that you dated.

So Moos you thought Lee was being invited to drown himself as opposed to handing back his doorkey.

It works though.

This is a joke right? If not, then plant some lipstick on his collar and some knickers in his car and dump him for cheating on you. That'll mess with his head as well as breaking his heart. Then show him that you've asked for advise on an internet forum and hand him the gun with which to shoot himself in the head.

Depends how long you've been seeing them for, why you want to dump them and if you ever want to have a hope of being friends. Only kind way if it's been a serious relationship is in person and in private. And don't feel tempted to do anything silly like tell the truth about why. No good can come of disecting the end of a relationship to death. The only thing people need to know is you don't want to be in it anymore.


But if they have done something seriously rotten to deserve to be dumped.... maybe less kindness is called for!

    • Gosh, calm down.. How about not getting so heated, and not eat for 24 hours with sips of water? Try it and you may, just may understand, starvation, no water. No meds at all even if you need them - hasten to add, don’t do it at all if you are medically dependent. In fact, why doesn’t ED - do this for half a day - say in Oct, when everyone has come back from enjoying their, hols, new term starting and as a community, we could all be 1.? Before, November, fireworks, etc.                    
    • Many thanks I have sent them a message  
    • Stop foreign aid spend and re-direct those funds to improve the lives of UK citizens.  People shouldn't have to rely on charities and food banks, their is enough food wasted in this country already which could be re-directed.  Let their own Govts feed them, why does the UK have to do it, how about other nations contributing.  Well if aid can't reach them, how are they supposed to be fed if as you say food parcels being dropped from planes doesn't work.  Lets sort out this country first and put UK citizens first for a change.   
    • Well that really is not Christian Spirit at all - we all live in this world and yes, totally agree that it would be wonderful to have no conflict in the world but that is not possible. Yes we have people in need of food  in this country but overall enough charities and organisation in the west to help. We are talking about thousands of people who are starving - not just going hungry - a huge difference would you not agree ? Aid can’t reach people - for whatever conflict and don’t think people dropping parcels, boxes etc from planes would be the answer either.
