Break Ups

Dating: Break Ups

We are all well aware of classic break up conversation one-liners such as: “It’s not you, it’s me” or “You’re like a brother/sister to me.” Odds are, if your significant other begins a conversation with one of these, you can bet it’s gonna end in a break up. Unfortunately, break ups are an inevitable part of life. 99% of the time, a relationship is going to end in a break up…that is unless you end up marrying the very first person you date. Whether you are instigating the breaking up or are the one being broken up with, it is never an easy task and most of the time the outcome is a bruised ego or empty carton of ice cream ;). While break ups can be really hard, they are necessary and most of the time lead to bigger and better things in the long run. So, if you have just gone through a tough break up or are contemplating the outcome of doing so, this is your place for advice, words of wisdom, and a pick me up when you need it!
