People Who Were Dramatically Broken Up With Are Sharing Their Stories, And They Truly Sound Like Something Out Of A Sad Rom-Com
Earlier this month, actor Shannon Woodward (Westworld, Raising Hope, The Riches) asked people on Twitter, "What's the worst way you got dumped?" And when I tell you I was not ready for these responses — I WAS NOT READY!
Let's just say I wouldn't wish this type of heartbreak on anyone:
what’s the worst way you ever got dumped?

2. Evil Email:
An ex emailed me a numbered list of reasons we were breaking up and CCed our mutual friends. When I asked her why she did it that way, she said it would've been too much work to tell everyone individually. https://t.co/x2zzj0Nzbx
