BREAKING UP OVER FACEBOOK

Ex and I had a big fight a week ago (on a Sunday) and he said he wanted a break to re-evaluate the relationship which I also agreed to. Been together for about 6 months. No contact and 5 days later on Friday morning I get a text asking if I would like to go to lunch next week!? hmm that's weird so i decided to look at my Facebook and sure enough not long after he text me the "lunch" thing he had already put single as his status. Really wtf is that? he solely made that decision, no call or anything.. then why lunch after the fact. Coward or not?

Coward for sure! FB has it's pluses .. but the big minus IMO is how people use it to cop out in their relationships.

Didn't he think you would see that???

Sounds like he's trying to find someone else before he decides for sure whether he should break up with you.

But, I would speak to him and ask him what's going on. Make him be a man and talk to you. That's the least you deserve.

I would assume the lunch is to break up in person. Changing his status on facebook was a probably just a weak moment of being angry and a big baby thing to do.

Ugh, FB is so stupid. People place too much emphasis on stuff like this...not saying you...but him with the relationship status. It's like, does he not think you would notice? Gimme a break...that's really lame on his end. Anyway though, it sounds like he is being a gentleman and wants to politely end things over lunch. That's not being a coward. Being a coward would him fading away quietly or sending you a break-up email/text. I would go...be the bigger person here. Change your status to "engaged" or better yet "widowed" hahaha.
