He lives in Texas and I live in Virginia. He has been insisting that we move in together for months so I recently quit my job, found a job there in Texas. He has 4 children and I have two. Because of the financial situation his ex-wife had left him in, he was unable to obtain a mortgage, but stated numerous times that we needed a bigger place to live, because the house he was renting there would not be big enough for the eight of us. I bought one. Four days before me and my children were to drive to Texas and move into our new home, he sends me a Dear John email. My whole life has been uprooted and torn a part and all I get is a 2 paragraph email. He didn't even call. We were supposed to be getting married in December before his next deployment. Now, since I am not going, I have no job, no belongings (they all have been shipped), and a 600K home in his city of residence. My boyfriend just sent me one via email.

It is really heartless to send a dear Jane by email. Fast typing and enter: It's done. No time to really consider where it leads. BIG MISTAKE! My (now x?) partner just forwarded this to me.
