Totally- though I’d put phone dumping just between in-person and texting. Almost as bad as text-dumping to me is people who say the important things like “I love you” for the first time in text. That should be a preview of both their spine and their dumping methods.

I debated about phone call dumping and decided it probably doesn’t happen enough these days to include.

Its absence struck me as a sign of the times — and the fact that I noticed it struck me as a sign that I am getting rather antique. Come to think of it, I am in fact old enough to have been dumped via a handwritten letter sent through the US mail. I wonder where that should fall. (Though as it comes back to me, in my case, the answer was clearly “chickenshit” — when I bumped up our weekly call by a day due to a conflict the following day and thus accidentally telephoned the perpetrator the day before I received the letter but two days after it was mailed, the perpetrator decided to just go with it and not mention anything on the phone! How gloriously ridiculous. I suppose now the equivalent would be texting back and forth pleasantly with someone whom you’ve already dumped via email but who clearly has not yet checked eir email.)
