We’ve all been though it. Someone comes into our lives… it seems right… the chemistry is there… then, one day, you realize it’s gone. It’s time to move on. You were wrong- s/he’s not the ONE.
How do you break up? Are you afraid to end it because you will be alone? Do you jump right in and say: “It was nice, but it’s not working out.” Or do you just disappear and wait for it to die? How about bringing your new bf/gf to meet your soon-to-be ex? Ouch! Letters, messages, emails, phone calls all can do the trick, but what’s the best way to do it?
Last night, we discussed our past experiences with breakups and shared how we broke up with our exes and how we were broken up with. Though it’s a difficult subject, everyone shared their painful experiences and opinions about what to do.
Some considered their exes friends, while others felt that remaining friends with exes was unacceptable. It might be a result of a lack of trust. Mostly everyone agreed that ideally, when a relationship ends, that dealing with it in person is the best way- but may be hard.
We also had a chance to discuss another kind of break-up: divorce. When asked if divorced=single it seemed that most people did not see them as equal. When asked if given two people: one single and one divorced of otherwise equal characteristics, most people would prefer to date the single person over the divorced. No one could really explain why.
Ladies (and gentlemen), take a quiz from the Ladies Home Journal and find out your ‘breakup style’.
Also, if you want to hear (and read) a very funny break-up letter written by a young kid, go here: http://youmakemetouchyourhandsforstupidreasons.ytmnd.com/ and make sure to turn on your speakers for the dramatic reading!
