Can we come up with a nice euphemism for "dumped?"

Just as employees are "downsized" instead of "fired."

12. Oh, here's another one: "the guy who intoduced his girlfriend to her new husband."
Maybe that's a little too specific to apply to lots of people, but it skirts other teminology , and yet if you put 2 and 2 together...you figure out what happened.

19. Employees who are fired are "released"
so dumpees could probably say "set free".
