Breaking Up Over Email

After 2020, digital relationships do seem like more of a possibility, but at some point, the in-person side of things does have to happen. Shared experiences are essential to building a relationship, especially when you live in the same area. Apparently, this middle schooler didn’t realize that when he got his first girlfriend over MSN.

Normally, we’d say breaking up over email is pretty weird, but in this situation, it actually seems like the part of the story that makes the most sense. If their entire relationship was online, it does make sense to break up online too. This usually goes without saying, but in-person interaction really does make or break a relationship.
