Breaking up Etiquette…

A survey carried out by Vouchercloud.net shows that at least 56% of people break up whilst hiding behind a text message, email or social media.  The survey respondents were a group of 18-30 year old Americans.  Yet ironically 73% of those participants stated they would be annoyed if they were broken up with in any of these ways claiming it would be “too impersonal”.  Only 2% claimed to have used the conventional way of telling someone it’s over.

Whilst the dynamics of every relationship is different it is worth noting that a large number of people taking part in this survey stated they would be hurt by the lack of courtesy of not being told in person.  For that reason we fully support the old fashioned method of telling someone yourself face to face.
