Beat You to the Punch
Getting broken up with is no fun, even if it’s something both parties want. However, when the other person beats you to the punch, it’s a whole other level of mortifying. This gal dated her first boyfriend for about two months in high school, but she was pretty over the whole relationship. Being a decent teenager, she wanted to break up with him in person.
The thing was, he kept avoiding her and making excuses as to why he couldn’t hang out. She wanted to cut the cord on this relationship, so she was getting pretty frustrated. Well, this boyfriend felt the same way but didn’t have the same qualms about breakup etiquette. He beat her to it and broke up with her on MSN chat.
