The least the guy could do is call. I mean, if you want to talk in technichal terms I'd say yes, it is a break up but it is the dumbest way to break up with someone.

I love a lot of things about my best friend but I love her ability to stay honest with me no matter what the scenario is. (:

It could just be an electrical issue.  I might sound crazy but it could be the supernattural.  Keep an open mind :)
