The person who got dumped received their Dear John letter via text message, which Cliffe approved of.

She writes, "I do not usually endorse text message breakups after a six month relationship but based on the LW's subsequent stalking-adjacent behavior, I think the ex made the safe and correct call."

But then she admitted that she could relate to the dumpee: she too had once crossed some boundaries post-break up.

"When I was a very young thing I once did the bad thing the LW did (show up outside the dumper's place of work to make them talk to me) and it is pretty much a universal sign that you have lost the plot," she continued on Twitter.

Cliffe's confession inspired people to start sharing some instances where they refused to accept that something was O-V-E-R.
