Coward just dumped me out of the blue... by email

date someone he’d got close to. Sadly, modern technology makes it really easy to avoid having to deal with it face to face, which is what you deserve.

I know you want an explanation but how will it change things really? This wasn’t a nice thing to do to someone you’ve spent three years with, so it shows what he’s like as a person – not the guy you thought he was.

I would use your anger in a productive way to make you determined to move on positively.

Yes, you could talk to him but it won’t change the situation, it won’t change how he hurt you and he might not be truthful with his explanation.

It takes time to get over any heartbreak – however it happened – so rest assured that, with the support of friends and family, you will get over him and you’ll be able to look back and be thankful you didn’t end up marrying someone who can throw something important away so easily.

Good luck.
