It's The End, My Friend! Time To Dump!
Relationships are filled with the highest highs and lowest lows. As a couple of people have put it in the comments of ‘Getting Over Being Dumped,’ one moment you can think the world is for you both, the next moment you’re getting the email that ends all ties. With such earth-shattering consequences, you would think that we, as a society, would have come up with a list of accepted practices when it comes to dumping someone. So why haven’t we?
I have a friend who has decided to end things with the guy she’s been seeing. They’ve been together for about a year. I think they’re great together. Yet despite having spent close to a year together, my friend has begun to feel that the feeling of ‘wonderful’ is starting to wane. Instead, there’s this life of pattern that has become void of excitement. The flame that lights passion for lovers has gone out and it seems that the only thing left to do is to end it all.
This was the conclusion she came to last month. Now a month later, they’re still together. For me, time is always so precious. I’ve spent way too long in relationships that I should have pulled the plug on. Who knows if I missed my one true match in that time. Thoughts like that can easily drive me mad. The last thing I want to see is another friend making the same mistake. The pain of a breakup is going to be hard, yes, but the only way to move on once you’ve made up your mind is to break the connection. If you’re reading this, my friend, do it today and don’t look back. It’s already over in your mind. The good news is that there’re no accepted practices when it comes to dumping someone, so whatever way feels easiest and quickest for you, that’s the way to do it. Now get it done!

It's important to keep perspective when breaking up with someone. Do it gracefully. Just drift away. . .

And should I do that if I'm not sure that another person needs it? And the only reason I can break up is that person ;) Weird, isn't it?
