Weirdest Ending of A Relationship?
Ballard:
My last girlfriend and I tried that. I stopped it pretty soon because it was clear that she was trying to get me back by any means necessary, despite my being upfront with her that we are never getting back together. During the process I used that as an excuse but I've since realized that common sense doesn't apply to a party scorned.
Alex C:
It's too bad common sense doesn't really override feelings completely. I guess the metaphor I would use is that a failing relationship is a lot like having a fish hook stuck deep in your finger. Pulling the thing out is pretty bad, but you still need to get the damned thing out so you can move on with the rest of your day. Knowing this lets you steel your resolve, but it doesn't really make it hurt any less.

Good way of putting it. Funny story: my brother did get a fish hook stuck in his leg -- the guys he was with pulled it out, cleaned it off, and mounted it on a piece of wood. Then they wrote on it, "FISH HOOK AWARD: CHRIS" and gave it back to him as a gift.

I have a friend who got a fish hook stuck in his head on a tiny Scottish island. His uncle poured vodka on it and tried to pull it out. That did not work. They went to the island's nurse who tried to pull it out, but could not. In the end they had to cut it out with a razor blade.
The fish hook now resides in a small jar that he keeps in his pocket at all times.

Great conversation starter, right there.
