Fed up with those awkward ‘it’s not you, it’s me’ conversations? Poor you.
Fortunately, help is at hand. Because now you can get someone else to do your dirty work for you. Yes, you can outsource your breakups.
For around $5 AUS (£2.50), the Sorry It’s Over service will dump your significant other via text, email, handwritten letter or even a phone call.
If you’re feeling generous (read: really guilty) you can even ease your ex’s heartbreak with a sympathy hamper and personalised message for $90 AUS (£45).
The service is the brainchild of 37-year-old Aussie Kristy Mazins, who totally gets that the social media generation can no longer cope with actual IRL social interactions.
She told Mamamia: ‘You know with Gen Y how they’re so tech savvy, I think for them it’s the perfect service.’
She added: ‘People don’t like the confrontation. People are scared of it. It’s a much needed service because it takes the fear out of breaking up.’
The customer outlines the message they wish to convey and Kristy puts it into a message, adding a few cliche platitudes along the way.
As part of her deluxe offering (for $66 AUS/£33) she will even make a personal appearance to inform your partner of your decision. Currently, this service is only available within 40km distance of Melbourne.
Sadly, the service is only available in Australia at the moment but chuck us a few quid and we’d be happy to draft an email for you.
Otherwise, you’ll just have to grow a pair and do it yourself.
