What is the appropriate way to end a 2 1/2 month exclusive LDR? Is an e-mail sufficient, or should one, at the very least, do it over the phone?

I don't believe e-mail is ever an appropriate way to break up with anyone ever under any circumstances.

Well, unless your jaw is wired shut and you can't talk on the phone. Okay, and unless you're pretty sure the person will become verbally or physically aggressive at hearing the news from you otherwise.

At the VERY least, a phone call is in order.

Technology shouldn't be used to make everything easier.

She (or he) deserves to hear your voice when you break up. An email is an awfully cold way to end any kind of relationship.

Dude...what's been going on in your life? Is this with the woman that you had a photo with on your profile? I take it this LDR included actually seeing each other in person, right?

(2 &1/2 Months is not a LDR.)
An e-mail or text message would be very sleazy unless she cheated on you with the janitor or the janitors girlfriend. The phone is rather impersonal and will do, if your afraid that she might try to scratch your eyes out of their sockets? The best way is to take her out for a drink, face to face and look her in the eye as she cries or tries to tell you off and throw her drink at you!

Ok, here's another angle: Is it ok for a woman to break it off with the man with just a simple e-mail?

And Harvey, look carefully at the acronyms.

I once planned to break up with a woman and asked to meet her at a restaurant. Sensing what was coming she said "If this is bad news I'd rather hear it on the phone than in a restaurant."
