Elaborate breakups are replacing elaborate proposals as the new way to go viral, it would seem.
One man who over-anticipated the viral success of his carefully-planned proposal has learned a big lesson about the internet, however.
When you post something online about someone – chances are they’ll see it.
When Reddit user BinanoSplat found out that his girlfriend was cheating on him, he saw a massive viral opportunity was heartbroken.
Taking to the site, he shared an image of a card he was leaving out with her, complete with her house key and the following message:
‘Now that you’re single, you don’t need to feel guilty about your sexually charged texts w/ Michael, going on dates w/ Jared, or about getting drinks tomorrow w/ Heidi Derek.’
We imagine he felt pretty chuffed with himself uploading the image, however his plan was foiled pretty quickly when one of her friends spotted the post and let her know what was coming.
She called him and asked him what was up and he had to break up with her over the phone like a regular joe soap.
Lucky for him, it’s going viral anyway – maybe just not for the reason he expected.
