Seems like an extreme response on my part (and I see that it is the opposite extreme of the other response you quoted), but it is a fair one.
I've never been dumped through text, but I have been in my fair share of toxic relationships with partners who are selfish and soul sucking. The whole one sided thing where the person takes and takes, but it's never good enough. I've learned to avoid these types. Everything the OP said put him in this category, and everything I mentioned was taken from his responses. I was just putting it out there, because so many are so supportive just because he's part of the community, yet sometimes someone needs a person to be real and say "hey, get your head out of your *cough*, you *beep*ing up a good thing, dude."
Reminds me of an article I read recently about an Irish person visiting the US and sharing his opinion on the state of our touchiness. How people aren't allowed to criticize or tell people the truth when they ask for it, because our society overvalues PC culture to the point that people's reactions to each other have to be fake for the sole reason of keeping up appearances ("How are you doing?", "Awesome" [person is actually having a shitty day]). When I say PC culture, I don't think people should be hurling the n-word or bullying others online, but if you ask for an answer, I think giving an honest one is fair even if what you hear doesn't make you feel good.
Looks like the OP talked it out with his girlfriend after enough people let him that breaking up through text is a dick move, so that's good news.
