So my friend wants to break up with his gf through powerpoint presentation.

His computer broke so he didn't get the chance to do it. I think he is going to use the library computer for it in the next few days because he has it saved on a disk still. I personally don't think it's the best idea because a library is a pretty public place and not sure she will appreciate being broken up with in there. I offered him my computer for it but he doesn't want to be a hassle.

I think the library computer station is a great idea - lends a chance he gots humiliated too.

Plus, you don't want her taking it out on your stuff - HE KNOWS she is going to flip her **** over this (seems almost like he wants this result) so of course he doesn't want to be a hassle with your stuff.

 

He sounds like a real attention whore. If he just wanted to be done with her - he'd have done the damn thing by now.

Here's an update as some of you wanted to know how it went. He did it. He ended up doing it on the library computer because his one was broken. He told me that not too many people were in there at the time so it was semi private. Most of the people would have thought he was just showing her a PowerPoint on something else and not payed too much attention. He said that she just sorta watched without saying anything and then at the end of it walked out. Didn't really say much. He didn't have time to give her the c.d. so I think he is going to mail it too her. They haven't talked since so I don't really know how she found it, but that is typical of a breakup. He is happy he did it this way. She now clearly knows the reasons for the break up and got it in a special way.

Sorry, but doing it in the library showed no balls and no honor. But then, we knew that, from the whole premise to start with I guess. Not too many people, so it was "semi-private?" Give me a break. Doesn't that mean "semi-public" as well, then?

 

And if it was so "special", why did she walk out without saying anything? Did she "like it", did she "appreciate" all the effort he put in, as you said she would? Or do you suppose that along with being dumped, she may have felt like he also went out of his way to humiliate her with a ridiculous, cold presentation, in public, and that leaving in stunned silence was the only way she could escape with some semblance of her dignity intact? If you (and he) don't get this, then please, don't get into any more relationships until you both mature a little bit - correction: a lot.

 

If you're a troll, nice job, but you ended kinda flat. If this is for real, your friend is a douche, and neither you nor he seems to recognize it.

 

There is an upside, if you want to look at it that way: the girl dodged a bullet - better to get out now than continue down that path with that dork.

 

He didn't have time to give her the c.d. so I think he is going to mail it too her.

Metaphorically mixing salt, lemon juice, and alcohol, and pouring it on the open wound. Nice touch.

Yeah, she "got it," all right. She got it good.
