Finnish Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen, dubbed the country's sexiest man, broke up by text message with the girlfriend he had met on the Internet, the woman says in a magazine interview.

"Matti dumped me in a text message, where he said 'that's it'," Susan Kuronen told the magazine Me Naiset (Us Women).

Her relationship with Mr Vanhanen, a divorced 51-year-old father of two, ended a few weeks ago, but continues to make headlines as Susan, 36, pours her heart out in local media.

Mr Vanhanen, who declines to comment on the relationship, was cited as Finland's sexiest man by French President Jacques Chirac earlier this year, when Finnish tabloids were running daily front-page details of the romance.

The average American today, young ...	Valentine’s Day has just never been a big holiday for me. I know what you all are thinking: She must be some bitter and jaded hag who only tells herself these things to avoid an emotional breakdown every year. It might be surprising then to know that I’m not resentful from years of loneliness, rejection, and neglect. Actually, for some odd reason (two long-term relationships, each about four years in length), I’ve never been single for Valentine’s Day. That is, not until this year. I can remembe...
