It can’t only be me who thinks it’s wrong to secure a date for the oncoming weekend with the expectation of breaking up with your significant other by then. What if the new person said yes and it turns out, the breakup doesn’t happen? From my experience, a breakup is rarely as simple as the compound word suggests. It’s more like a gruelingpainfulelogonatedargumentendingingrudgesandtearsandpsychosis-untilonepartymeetssomebodyelse.
What kind of person can go on a date immediately after a breakup anyhow? “I’m going to break up with my girlfriend tonight. So, you wanna catch dinner & a movie this weekend?” Disgusting.
HAHAHA! That’s pretty much how it went!
different people grieve in different ways. some people need to take their mind off of things and that’s how they deal with difficulties in life.
some people stay in relationships way, way longer than they should. they may already have checked out of the relationship, but the comfort that having that someone there, even if you don’t love them anymore, is so powerful that they stay in the relationship on matter how doomed it may seem.
just some food for thought. i don’t think it’s right to go on a date immediately after a break up, either, at least not if you are thinking that it is anything more than a rebound or fling, but hey, who knows? i’ve heard of far stranger love stories.
Wilco – this guy was/is not grieving. He wasn’t with her long enough. From the way he talks about her, it doesn’t seem like there’s any deep meaningful connection, or even much respect for her, really.
I guess if the guy doesn’t even respect her, it’s expected that he’d do something as shallow as he’s doing.
Though, I don’t advocate it. I think it’s extremely impolite.
