Better than ghosting, but completely immature.

Be respectful. Be responsible. Be an adult. Have a conversation to end your relationship.

A different perspective. Sometimes, it’s just ending the insanity though. After 3,4,5+ conversations where nothing changes do you want to keep going? It’s not kind to either party. Ok - haters hate me for that one.

Yeah I kind of just wanted it to end and leave no more room for talking

3 months. He wasn't happy with the way I dress. Not fem/sexy enough. I don't understand what he wants. I tried and bought clothes. We didn't even go out much, mostly hanging at each other's places, hiking, tennis. I had a bunch of issues w him like he would go quiet for a few days at a time and I could see he wasn't including me in certain plans. He ignored all my issues and said maybe he was getting distant bc of the way I dressed. Acted like he's doing me a favor by not caring about hair and makeup. I knew it was a bad sign right away but thought I would give a little effort.

like

Wow. Dump him via text and don’t even worry about it.

3 months isn’t a very established relationship and his behavior is unacceptable. After multiple conversations already, I wouldn’t put myself through another one. I’m sorry but he doesn’t sound like he respects you enough to deserve any better.

What if you already had about 2-3 in person and phone talks about the relationship problems and you said I need to think about your perspective? It's not gonna be a surprise

Depends on how long you've been dating the person. If you're in a relationship, you owe the person a call or in-person at least. If you go out on one or two dates, it's fine to say you're not interested in anything further via text. Ghosting is just immature.

Definitely be adults about it. A text that says sorry is not you is me bla bla is better to be ghosted.
