Six-love will forever have a new meaning for Boris Becker, whose former fiance used a cold, electronic Dear Boris to dump him.

From Mike Penner of the Los Angeles Times:

What's worse than being dumped by your fiancee via text message?

Being dumped by your fiancee via six text messages.

This happened to former tennis star Boris Becker, 40, when Sandy Meyer-Woelden, 25, informed him by text messages that they were breaking up.

"On Friday evening, Oct. 31, I suddenly got an SMS from Sandy . . . saying that this was it, that this is over," Becker told German newspaper Bild.

"To make sure how serious she was, she sent me five others saying the same thing.

"I was completely surprised."

For the record, such a breakup is considered poor form, even in the chillier climes of this digital age. Those texts, Becker said, "trampled on my soul."
