Tennis Star Boris Becker Dumped by Text Message
German tennis player Boris Becker, who has won Wimbledon three times, was broken up with via text message last month, says Textually.org.
Becker's 25-year-old ex-fiancee, Sandy Meyer-Woelden, apparently broke off her wedding with the 40-year-old tennis champ via a string of five text messages. Becker explained:
I suddenly got an SMS from Sandy... saying that this was it, that this was over. To make sure how serious she was she sent me five others saying the same thing. I was completely surprised.
Those texts, Becker told reporters, "trampled on my soul."
If anybody sees her, please inform Ms. Meyer-Woelden that her break up methods are in clear conflict with our fundamental digital dating guidelines. [From: Textually]

The age difference is definitely a factor. She is too young and immature! To break up over text or email is just plain immature and clue-less. Someone mentioned break up over text to avoid conflict? What a loser! If that is your MO to avoid conflict, then you definitely need to grow up first before getting into any relationship, much less get married.

Had it happen to me, the chap who sent the text was 43.....shows complete lack of class, compassion and cojones.

We don't have the full story ....... Think about it ? I'm not saying it's OK to break up with someone in that way. But, know there is more to the story when we hear something like this.

May this woman be cursed by the god Thor & may her tounge
cleave to the roof of her mouth till all her teeth turn to an inferno as she enters the gates of hell. May a pox be upon her house forever.

She took the coward's way out. They were engaged and she should have the guts to face him ,tell him it's over, and why if he asks. What a sleez ball !!

Everyone that thinks its cool to break up with a text is a fool. Technology is great and it pays my bills but there are some things that should have more of a personal touch. One one that said it is ok would want to get broken up with in that way. I know I would be pissed if it happened to me. Makes it look like she could care less about him really and that the time they had together was meaningless. If that is true why would she accept his proposal? I have a theory that women don't care and only go with the person that puts them in the most secure situation as far as money and being able to have material possessions. She probably has been dating some other rich guy behind his back that is willing to spend more on her. Why else would she be with a 40 year old guy with money at 25.

it always amazes me when a 40+ man hooks up with a early 20 something, then is surprised when she acts like a kid. hello, borris, it's like... over. this new sugardaddy has a way cooler car!
seaneryNov 25th 2008 11:48AM

Maybe he creeped her out. He seems creepy to me. Does he have a book coming out or something? Who would announce to the media he was dumped via text? HELLO!! LOOK AT ME! I'M A LOSER!!! (read the book)
seaneryNov 25th 2008 12:04PM

I don't care what the story behind this is, breaking up like this is rude and disrespectful.
These days it seems people only care about their own feelings and don't give a rats about anyone else.
It's sad and unfortunately, especially after reading some comments here, a lot of people lack the class to deal with something like this in a mature way.
RonNov 25th 2008 2:58PM
It's the cowards way out..I'm all for it : )
marvinNov 25th 2008 3:12PM

Well, you can't date someone much younger and then expect them to have the same maturity level as you.
Still, you would hope that if you treat people with decency and common courtesy, that they will do the same with you.
In the end though, only those two know the circumstances surrounding their relationship and break-up.
