- It depends on what they are breaking up about. I know of two cases:
-
- The first couple were engaged for about a year and every time they had
- a fight, the woman would yank the ring off and throw it at the guy. Once
- he had to stop the car and look for it because she threw it out of a
- passenger window! Every month or so they'd have a spell where they
- weren't talking, mad about this or that, and then get back together. They
- didn't set an actual "date" until the woman discovered she was pregnant.
- Nine years after their daughter was born, they had a very ugly hateful
- divorce.
-
- The second couple were seeing each other for about two years and she
- wanted to get married and he didn't. He wanted so "see the world" from
- the "dating" perspective but also wanted the woman to stay in his life
- until he was done with his roving. Well nothing doing, said she. They
- went through a very painful breakup after he started seeing someone else
- but little by little kinda slid back into each other's lives. When they
- got back to seeing each other every day, she said "Well? We make a
- commitment or it's goodbye" and it was just about totally over when the
- guy realized that NOBODY could take her place (now he knew, see, because
- he had gone out with a coupla others) and they lived happily to present.
-
- The second one was the "if you love someone, set them free" bullshit
- in action. The first one was spoiled brat woman with codependent
- weasil. Or something.
