Dear Bazima: Say What?!?
Dear Ms. B,
Perhaps you have covered this topic before. If so, I apologize, but I just got dumped with an email. Though I appreciate the honesty with which (we'll call him) Dr. J. informed me our sleeping together would have to come to an end, I can't help but feel completely crapped on. I mean, I was still under the impression that the phone break-up was generally considered lame- you know, for limp-dicks. Now this? Please advise.
XOX, Stephanie
Dear Stephanie,
Of course you can't help but feel crapped on. Email is the coward's way out to break up with someone. That's one of the problems with email and instant messaging. We use them to have "conversations" that should be had over the phone or in person. This guy is obviously not worth your time. Don't sweat him for another minute. Seriously. If I can be crass for a moment: if he can stick it in you, he can pick up the phone to call you. That's what I say. Was he afraid that you wouldn't handle it well and go all Fatal Attraction on him? Did he think that if he broke up with you over the phone he'd have to deal with hysterical sobbing and wailing? Well, that's just arrogance. Or, maybe he knows he's done something that deserves a little task-taking and he just doesn't want to deal with facing up to his mistakes. Men are afraid of women. And you know what? With the way they treat us sometimes, you'd think they'd have figured out why by now.
Chin up, girl. He ain't worth it.
xoxo
