When you see the person that you have been in a relationship with, and you're going to meet with them one last time, and break up with them, you may be tempted to not actually go through with it, right?

當你看到與你有過一段關係的人,要見最後一次面分手時,你可能會心想我不想真的分手,對吧?

That's something that even I can remember 15 years ago or 20 some odd years ago, it was still considered a bit strange to meet somebody via a dating app. But now that has totally swung in the other direction.

我也記得15或20多年前,透過約會網站找朋友還是被認為有點奇怪,但現在情況完全轉向了另一個方向。

Breaking up via text (…) people can think about what they text, whereas in person, maybe you're in the heat of the moment, maybe there's a heated argument, you tend to say ugly things.

透過訊息分手時,人們可以思考內容,相對的面對面時,也許一時衝動,或有激烈的爭吵時,往往會說難聽的話。
