Things I hate
The expectation from the other half that the wounded party is willing to be friends afterwards. Thats right sister, I'd like nothing better then to go to lunch with someone who tore my heart out and took a bite out of it so that she can talk about her latest boyfriend and expect me to be supportive.
The drunken phonecalls, weepy phonecalls where she tells me that she misses me, that I was so good to her, and can we give it another chance. Its the worlds biggest pricktease so she can feel good about herself. Sorry, no, chances are I'm going to lie to you, rail the crap out of you leave and change my phone number.
The expectation that the dumpee has to be the bigger person, you know, be the mature one. Hey look she feels pretty pumped up on the self esteem train because she dumped you, and then she or her friends giggle about it whenever they see you, or if your dating someone else, it must be an overcompensation to get over her. Sorry sister, I don't see your face when I'm doing her, I don't sit at home and listen to some sappy crap album while I stare at her picture and load a single bullet into a gun. You weren't the end all and be all, I was over you the minute you ended things, I'm dating this girl because I'm free from your influence.
When its over its over, both parties should walk away, burn their numbers, email addresses, facebook contents, take any joint pictures or anything that reminds you that she was in your life ever and toss em out. Shared friends, she can have em. Relationships don't define you ever, and they shouldn't rule your life when its over. Is it ok to feel sad, sure whatever, but take your couple of days, get drunk and move on.
