I'll Take the One with the Spear, Thank You
What’s up with supposedly-evolved men ending relationships via email? I’m all riled up after hearing that my friend just got a Dear Jane email from this guy she’s been seeing. Apparently not all monkeys have learned which tools are appropriate in which situations...
This guy had introduced her to his parents, his friends, and everything had been going really well; so we all thought. But he freaked out. Which is, in and of itself, disappointing, but still forgivable-- if he is straight-up about what’s going on, apologizes where necessary, and has the decency to call things off rather than letting it drag on indefinitely (or disappearing without a word). I have few kind thoughts for the dude who says one thing, and then hides behind a goddam email to say what he was too cowardly to say in person.
