As part of our interview process here at It’s Just Lunch in DC, we find out what worked and what didn’t work about past relationships.
Inevitably, we hear some pretty sad breakup stories (and have some pretty bad
ones of our own)! Here are 3 of the most common types of breakups that we have
come across:
1) The Technology Breakup: I’ve heard of the “I’m Sorry.
It’s over” text message, the “It’s not you, it’s me” email, and the never to be
returned phone call. I recently wrote an
article about how people are actually breaking up with each other using Facebook
and Skype, a one-two punch! Details here.
2) The Red-handed Breakup: Whether conscious or sub-conscious,
people will cheat and get caught to avoid having to initiate a break up.
3) The Cruel Breakup: Instead of talking through a breakup, sometimes people will be cruel, with the intention of pushing their partner away. I’ll never forget the guy who told his fiancee, “Your gene pool could use a little chlorine.”
Breakup stories, we all have them don’t we? Some are amusing and some are just plain evil! What’s your worst breakup story?

We've all heard about the break up via text...have the decency to say it in person! Also, trying to push the other person away is never a good idea. Be straightforward and tactful, otherwise the other person will have room to make up details. It's important to remember that the other person is much more likely to react better and not "crazy" if you treat them with respect.
