A new break-up app is helping couples  eliminate the awkward final meeting by sending a text to end the relationship  electronically. BreakUpText offers multiple  options tailored for men and women based on whether the relationship is casual  or serious.

The app then allows users to customize a reason for the  breakup. Users  can choose  from ‘I lost interest’, ‘I found someone  else’ or – for those trying to be  funny or burn bridges permanently – ‘I got  eaten by a bear.’

Sorry honey, I got eaten by a bear: One of BreakupText’s  messages includes phrases like ‘remember me fondly,’ and ‘pretend that I died a  hero.’

Ending it: The BreakupText app allows users to select  whether they are breaking up with a man or woman (left) and specify a reason  (right)

She continues: ‘I wanted to tell you sooner,  truthfully, I wanted to wait until the fifth anniversary of your  hamster’s passing.’ ‘I know how much Rascal meant to you.’ But the ‘eaten by a bear’ texts are  definitely the most bizarre. I tried out the app by breaking up with  myself. The result: ‘Hey Catherine, the time we spent together  was awesome. You’re funny and pretty and deserve someone great.’ ‘Unfortunately, I can’t be that someone for  you.

Remember when you asked what I was doing this weekend and I acted kinda  weird? ‘It’s because I was going hunting with some  of my friends and I didn’t know how you felt about hunting, you seem like the  kind of sweet girl who loves animals.

Anyways, I don’t know how I feel about  hunting anymore either. I kinda got myself in a bad situation while out  camping.’ ‘I guess you could say I’m in the belly of  the beast. The bear to be exact. ‘I got eaten by a bear. It’s not too bad,  just dark. Pretty quiet.’ ‘Oh and my cell phone battery is going to die  soon so don’t text back. Good luck with life!’
