He Dumped Me Over Text—Guess Ghosting Was Too Much Effort 🙄

He broke up with me over text—because nothing says “mature” like hiding behind a screen and hitting send. lol
Here’s how I got through it (without texting back!) and found healing that didn’t involve stalking his WhatsApp last seen.


I always imagined our breakup would involve tears, maybe a café confrontation, or even one of those “it’s not you” lies. But nope.
He just sent a message.
A breakup over text.
Followed by silence.

For anyone who’s ever had their heart yeeted via emoji, I see you.


This Wasn’t a Breakup. It Was a Notification.

There’s breaking up, and then there’s just disappearing behind a screen.
Getting dumped over text felt like ghosting—but with a side of lazy typing. He sent me a sloppy message that looked like it was written in Notes and fired off without a second thought.

This is the new normal—especially in situations like grey ghosting or emotional burnout where one person decides to disappear while technically “informing” you.


Let’s Talk About Text Breakup Etiquette

Some say it’s better than ghosting. Others think it’s cowardly. Truth? It depends.

A late-stage situationship or a one-month “talking phase”? Sure, maybe a text is enough.
But a real relationship? With actual memories and shared passwords? Nah.

Even in a long-distance breakup, there are kinder ways to say goodbye.

If someone can spend months with you, they can string real words in a real conversation. We deserve that.


What Helped Me Get Through It (Besides Deleting His Number 4 Times)

I know everyone says, go no contact. But I didn’t just stop texting—I stopped justifying why I needed more from someone who gave me the bare minimum.

I downloaded Let It Go on a whim. That first night I used the No Contact Tracker, wrote a journal entry that just said “WTF WAS THAT,” and binge-read breakup stories from strangers who felt like friends.

Somewhere between the crying and the scrolling, I stopped checking for his read receipts.


PSA: Healing Is Real and It’s Actually Kind of Funny

Now, weeks later, I still get mad when I remember the text. But I also laugh. Because the same guy who couldn’t talk about his feelings now lives rent-free in a breakup app’s memory log. Iconic, honestly.

If you’ve been through a digital dumping, you’re not dramatic. You’re not “too emotional.”
You just deserve more than a cold little message that ends with “take care.”


📣 Blocked the boy. Now glow-up deployed.
