Low-Down and Dirty Breakups
Taco Hell
“Being a creative and thoughtful girlfriend, I decided I’d surprise Brian, my then boyfriend, with an old-fashioned love letter. I even went out to the store to buy special stationery. After I’d finished writing about all the sexy and sweet things I wanted to do with him, I signed the letter with a kiss and popped it into the mailbox. Then, the weirdest thing happened — Brian just stopped calling me.
“After a week of zero contact, I started wondering if he’d fallen off the planet. Then I went to get the mail and saw that there was a white envelope with my name scrawled on it in his handwriting. I tore it open, expecting to find something along the lines of a steamy response. But no, inside the envelope was a greasy, folded up fast-food wrapper. On it, he had written, plain and simple: ‘We’re done.’” —Beth, 29
