Yeah, though my last break up was combined in person/video call (we were LDR most of our relationship and I had to return home for work when he was [rightfully] rejected at the border).
It's a painful experience for both parties, but I'd rather do it in person (or as much as possible). Answer questions, provide as much closure as possible, and try to end amicably.
I've been fairly amicable with my exes, not that I maintain contact with them. They're not really people I want to maintain contact with - I'm not in the habit of keeping disappointments in my life.
I wouldn't want a break up over text or anything, so I like to give them the respect of an in person break up.
Breaking up face-to-face is difficult. But it depends on how serious we are, and why it was over
If I was in a long-term relationship, and we just grew apart over time, I'd rather do it face-to-face. I think he'd deserve that level of respect. Plus, questions can be asked, so he can get the closure that he needs.
I only date women who are too hot for me and I'm never usually the one to end it.
By the time it's really over, we both know it and there's not much to say.
She doesn't call me to come have talk and have sex anymore, she starts dating some other guy, and I block her.
u My rule for myself is that if I have dated someone more than three times, then they deserve a face-to-face explanation. I would follow that rule unless there is a reason to think that a face-to-face meeting would have some potential to get out of hand.

Nowadays everything is online or via text messaging & to be honest it’s like peoples smartphones control them & I’m so glad I switch back to a dumbphone because life is so much easier. I’m a face to face person.
I have never really done it. I broke up with somebody over the phone. We had been together for 4 years and we lived 1500 miles apart. We talked for over an hour and the last thing I did was tell her that I loved her and she said it to me. Then we hung up.
Of course! I think that breaking up over the phone is so disrespectful. I know it's easier but both parties should have the chance to explain themselves.
What? That's so horrible..
The idea that someone would break up over text or the phone is unreal. That's a, shame that person on the Internet for life make a meme out of them for doing that , kinda move.
Of course. Breaking up with someone is the responsible thing to do if you no longer want to be with them, and for me it MUST be face to face out of respect for them.
I don't know. I don't think I'd be able to do it but I really hope I'm never put in a situation like that.
Yeah I’ve broke up with people face to face. Except one time which was through text but I still had to face him later on
I only had to do that once and it was face to face as I left!

I agree, it's important to see the other person's face.
I've broken up with a boss face to face before. It didn't go well. He was pissed. He wanted me to stay and keep working for him.
I have in the past, other times on the phone, no texting though
Yeah and I wouldn’t Call it Guts
It’s not hard to do I can say whatever I want and never feel bad
Heck if you think breaking up with text is bad wait till you get divorce papers via WhatsApp
