iBreakUp with you online

Break ups have reached a new low. For those who are too spineless to break up with someone in person, by phone or even by personalized e-mail, there is iBreakUp.net. It's almost too unbelievable to be true.

Here's how it works. Once at the Web site, you click on whether you're breaking up with "him" or "her." After entering the e-mail addresses of you and the poor soul you're about to ditch, you are taken to a page that allows you to preselect a reason for the break up. Possible reasons range from the usual, "I love you, but I'm not in love with you," to the absurd, "I cheated on you with one of the Backstreet Boys," to the probably true but rarely said, "I only loved you because you had a puppy!"

There also is a space for you to write your own personalized message.

Then choose your closing from a drop-down menu, click send, and you're done! Well, that is, until the person you just broke up with sends you a similarly witty make up message back.

What's the worst way someone has broken up with you? What about the worst way you've broken up with someone else?

In this electronic age the biggest thing I face is simply people I have dated for a while just not answering the phone... or e-mails.... gutless and cowardly in my opinion

I'd rather someone look me in the eye and tell me they arent interested than just fall off the face of the Earth.
