Weirdest Ending of A Relationship?
Alex C:
Yeah, fish hooks can be real bastards. Usually you should try and push it through a bit and cut the barbed part, but one time on a family fishing trip my mother got one stuck in her hand deeply enough that we couldn't really push it back up and out without having nothing left to pull on. Eventually we just had to reattach the line to the head and pull. :-P
I guess it wasn't in her head though, at least.

i find friends with benefits tends to work better when they aren't an ex, but it just depends on the people and the situation. i find it pretty easy not to get attached to boys and am much happier when i'm getting laid on a regular basis, so i tend to dismiss critics who go on about how it's a terrible idea and always fails and so on and so forth. some people can make it work and some people can't, you just have to know yourself well enough to have an idea of whether or not it's something you're capable of so you don't end up putting the other person in a shitty situation.

Conveniently, when my current lady broke up with me earlier and we did the 'friends with benefits' thing, we *both* got reattached. And now it's better than it ever was before the breakup.

I am pretty sure I have told this story before on this very forum, but it is worth repeating, because it is disturbing and hilarious.
One of my friends went to a rural hospital for slicing several of her fingers open while drunk. In the next room, a woman was having a fishhook removed from her ladybits. I honestly wonder how this happened.
My fourth grade teacher also enjoyed telling us about a fishing trip with her husband where they witnessed someone getting a fishhook stuck in their eye. Their EYE. Not eyelid. Eye.
The moral of the story is; fishhooks fucking terrify me a lot.

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.

Cutting the head off to remove the barb makes removal more or less painless. Obviously if it's not a complete penetration, you have to force it through so it becomes one - still less painful than ripping it out backwards, though.
How does that fit into your analogy? :p
