Whats the best way to dump someone?
How have you done it in the past?
I once left the country, It seemed to work quite well.

Rosie, 13:51, 9th January 2004:
A bit dramatic maybe.
How about the old, "lets still be friends" thing? Does it ever work out?

Sul, 14:04, 9th January 2004:
It worked out ok in 'Friends'.

The just friends thing can usually come across as a bigger slap in the face than just saying "fuck off" unless the other party is already thinking the same thing.
If they aren't they can often use it as an excuse for the "if I hang around, they'll realise how great we were and change their mind again." It isn't always a solution.
Sometimes it's better to be blunt, ie "Oi, pee-wee! Get lost! You don't do it for me!"
Lets be friends translates as PFO. Trust me on this.

Lets be friends sucks.
Are you dumping the bloke we don't like, Rosie?

Sul, 14:12, 9th January 2004:
please fuck off?
Posted by
Rosie, 14:15, 9th January 2004:
Yeah. I think I've made up my mind this time. I can't live like it anymore - he slept on the sofa again last night coz he was in a mood with me because I opened the front door to a stranger.
I still love him - but i can't live like it anymore. He has too many "issues".
I don't just wanna say fuck off though. I have been with the guy for about 6 years.

Come and sleep with me and then he'll leave you.

Apparantly, the sandwich effect is supposed to be good, read it somewhere ages ago.
Fred, you really are a great guy with a good sense of humour, well you try hard.
But you are useless in bed and you always leave ur underpants on the headboard, it really annoys me. So I have had enough, please dont call me anymore and btw I have changed the locks on my mansion.
Dont stop trying, you are lovable enough to find someone more suitable for your character.
Ciao

I can't even sit down with him and talk about stuff coz he starts to throw a tantrum if he hears things he don't like.
Maybe I'll just pack up his stuff into cardboard boxes and leave them outside the front door!

Sul, 14:29, 9th January 2004:
Friday: Wow you're right. I'd have been fooled by that.
I'm used to filtering out bad stuff that I read about myself. Its boring.
Sit him down, explain why you are dumping him. If he takes the hump then say, this is exactly what I am trying to talk to you about..NOW FUCK OFF.

I might do a bit of what friday suggested and then a bit of what foghorn suggested.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Keep it simple. You're a gimp. We're breaking up. You have issues and may need psychiatric help. I want you gone by next weekend. If not I change the locks. Then I'll phone the police. Buuuyeeeeeeee (say this like Snake from the Simpsons)
Welcome to Dumpsville, Population: you.
Seriously though good luck ;)

ta. i hope i don't shit out of it.
Tell him you've decided you are trapped in a female body and want desperately to be a man so you've started consultations with a clinic in Amsterdam about gender re-assignment. You understand that this can be difficult but you really want to stay partners with him as long as he doesn't mind the fact that you'll be a man. Then bugger off for a couple of days. Come back with your boobs tapped down a hotdog strapped to your leg and ask him to call you Kev.

Miki, 14:41, 9th January 2004:
you can use my adress and telephone number for the clinic if you want :D
good luck with all of this Rosie

ILBM that is excellent!
There you go an address and everything! Just get a couple of official looking letters sent over by Miki and he'll be gone faster than sul in a pub with no draft Stella.

The final nail in the coffin is that I've just been informed via a text msg that he has shaved all his hair off.
:(
Posted by
Miki, 14:57, 9th January 2004:
you could volunteer to shave his private parts to match ?
Posted by
Rosie, 15:01, 9th January 2004:
ha!
I think thats pushed me over the edge! i dread to think what he looks like now.
Oh Crumbs.
A bullet? (what he will look like shaved)
Posted by
gobbo, 21:10, 9th January 2004:
"A bullet?"
Hahaha! I think that would be a constructive way to "delete" him from Rosies life :D
tell him you want to get married asap, be a stay at home mum of 7 and wear leggings and watch trisha. he shld be gone like a rat up a drainpipe

I would like to recommend to just be honest and not drag it out. If you aren't happy with him just tell him.
I have lots of experience being dumped and dumping and I feel just making a clean break is the best.
