How we communicate has changed so much in the past 20 years. At the end of the 1990’s we still talked face-to-face and we called each other on the phone. We even wrote long letters.

If we were going to break up with someone then we more or less had to tell them in person that the relationship wasn’t going anywhere. And by doing so we experienced the fallout and emotional reactions our actions caused. A few took the easier way out and wrote a ‘Dear John’ letter and finished the relationship. Some tried to do so over the phone.
