...now hoping for a drama-free May

Dear internet,

If one has been dumped, and the dump-er doesn't like to use such ugly words and prefers to call it "ending a relationship", exactly how furious is one allowed to be?

A further question, for clarification: being dumped is when one half of the relationship decides to not be in the relationship, leaving the other half stunned/alone/heartbroken and with no opportunity to respond? Yes?



"Let's be friends", my ass.

Well if that's not what being dumped is, I've been using that expression all wrong for years.

I think the dumpee is well rid of an asshat who "doesn't like to use such ugly words". Ugh.

EXCELLENT USE OF ICON. A+++

And, yeah. For anything that's this non-mutual: dumping. Asshat. :(

I would say one is allowed to be extremely furious - even more so that the dumpee doesn't like to call it what it is.

*sends you lots of snuggles*

Ugh, thanks. :(

Sounds like the dump-er puts a wee bit too much stock in the qualifying power of semantics. Furiousness is an appropriate response!

Ugh.

The trouble with academics is we'll quibble over all the semantics. Plus, I'm (reasonably) certain he's not malicious, just living in a tiny box (population: him). So. *rarrrr*
