How to Dump Someone

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Donna Barnes, life and relationship coach here in New York City, and the author of It's All About You. To dump someone can be a really cruel thing, so if your intention truly is to dump them, make sure it's because they did something nasty to you. And then I would really just, you know, cut it off completely. It's best if you can speak to them and let them know, "Hey, I just don't want to talk to you anymore." But you know, if it's really that they've disrespected you and it's just...it...they're worth dumping them, then send them a text message. Send them an email. I mean, that's a real dump. I just don't want to deal with you, and just, you know. Ideally, it's better if you sit down and have a conversation with them and break up with them nicely, but if they deserve to be dumped, go ahead and do it. I mean, just ignore their phone calls, send them a text message. Say, "Don't call me anymore." Or send them an email or just, you know, just blow them off completely. It really will send that message, but be careful in doing that that you don't anger them. You don't know, you know, if that person's unstable. You don't want to really dump somebody. It's better if you have a nice conversation and tell them."
