Weirdest Ending of A Relationship?
Orbert:
I've had some weird breakups, which is only fair since I've had some weird girlfriends, but I just don't understand when people say "...and I never found out why".
In some of these stories, the breakup occurred, they even saw the person after that, made out, continued being friends, whatever, and finding out why they broke up never come up in conversation? And if you're still fucking each other, did you really officially break up?
Ballard:
Oh god friends with benefits is such a bad call.
0bsessions:
I completely disagree. Friends with benefits can be an excellent break from responsibility, especially if you're recently off of a serious relationship.
Nothing wrong with two people accepting they have biological needs but having no desire to delude themselves into thinking they genuinely care about each other much beyond that. As long as both people know the deal, I find it perfectly acceptable.
Ballard:
I should clear up. I meant becoming friends with benefits with the person you've just broken up with. It was kind of implied because of the above posts but I wasn't clear enough.
0bsessions:
Okay, yeah, that's generally disastrous because you will almost always see one of the people become reattached and lead to drama.
I actually did it once. It was fun for a little while, but then she started talking about maybe someday becoming serious again and after much thought I remembered why that would be a terrible idea. Didn't stop me from continuing on, though. Eventually, I broke it off after she slept with another dude and I felt some jealousy over it. Note, I didn't dump her because she slept with another dude, as that was never established as out of bounds. I dumped her because I knew that if I felt jealous, the smart thing to do was probably to stop doing what I was doing. I also explained this thoroughly to her. She was hurt, quite badly it seemed, but it was for the best.
