I agree that with technology people find the easy ways out to break-up and its selfish, I prefer face to face but there has been an occasion when I had to do over the phone for the reason it was an abusive relationship and I had tried face to face and lets say it didnt work and ended with the police etc like that wasnt enough for him to understand it was over he called me the next day to ask if we were meeting up for lunch
so I had to break it very harshly over the phone!
