Breaking Up Over Email
After 2020, digital connections do seem more feasible, but at some point, the in-person side of things must happen. Shared activities are important to establishing a connection, especially if you live in the same area. This middle schooler didn’t realize that when he acquired his first girlfriend over MSN.
Normally, we’d advise against breaking up over email, but in this case, it appears to be the most logical part of the narrative. It does make sense to break up online if their entire relationship was conducted over the internet. This is usually taken for granted, but having face-to-face interaction in a relationship can make or break it.
