Why ‘Dear Jane’ Texts are so hurtful and what to do if you get one!

Technology has made life easier in so many ways.

Whatever you need, can be taken care of in minutes making it a quick and efficient way to deal with life.

Unfortunately, technology has a downside and that is texting has become the modern way of ending relationships in the 21st century.

It’s the new Dear John/ Dear Jane for ending the connection with someone you’ve been dating. 

Instead of a letter, it’s now done with a text.

I know because it happened to me when I was dating.

I met a man named Matt online.

He and I really hit it off.

It’s embarrassing to admit but he was the first guy I ever dated where my knees nearly buckled when I’d see him…he was one gorgeous hunk to look at.

Our dating relationship was easy and fun.

We could talk for hours about anything and everything.

He was one of those guys that knew when something was wrong just from hearing the sound of your voice.

That was a huge check on my ‘What I’d like in a man checklist.’

We were into a relationship when I had to travel to California for a conference.

During the week apart, we kept in touch with long conversations on the phone.

Two days before I was heading home, he told me how much he missed me and how he couldn’t wait until I got home.

So imagine my surprise when I arrived home and received this text:

“Hi, Lisa- I’ve enjoyed our time together but I feel we got too close too fast. I really like you but I need some space. I’ll call you in a few weeks. Matt”

I was stunned and I was pissed.
