A female United States age 41-50, *hloeElizabeth writes:

Good evening everyone,

I dated my ex for a little over a year. He always had issues with communicating with me, and I too have my own issues that contributed to the fall of our relationship. He told me that he didn't know if he wanted to be with me anymore, but then when I asked questions as to why he felt this way, he shut down and did not elaborate. Well, a week after dropping the bomb on me that he wasn't sure he wanted to stay with me, I logged onto Facebook only to find that his relationship status had changed to "single," and when I came home to our apartment later that day I found all of his things had been cleared out of our place. I tried to call him and text him with no luck. He completely avoided me. Is this an acceptable way to dump someone???

Thank you for your responses to my question four months ago. I still have not heard from my ex. He completely fell off the face of the Earth, never to be seen again. I am grateful that he showed me his true colors after being with him for only a year versus twenty years or longer. I am a single lady and am loving every minute of it. Thanks again! : )

No it is not an acceptable way to dump someone!

He needs to grow some balls and become a man but I don't think he will because guys like that think its ok to treat women in that manner.

As hard as it is, you must move on and I also suggest you delete him from your facebook as that will just eat away at you checking on his updated status.

Lets hope his facebook relationship status remains as "single" because that is all he deserves!

I know its hard, and no doubt its heart breaking for you, but I think you have had a lucky escape and deserve to be treated a lot lot better.

Chin up!

No. He took the coward's way out. The only real way to end it is face to face, or at the very least via a phone call. I don't like people who dump using text, and the one's who just cut contact are even worse.

You can always see someone for what they are during a moment of crisis. And in that moment, your ex showed himself to be a total coward. So, whilst I'm sure it hurt, you've had a lucky escape. There are clearly far better men that him out there.

Cut contact, forget facebook, and just get away from him.
