- IMHO, very true. Once you are at the point that a new relationship
- is starting, you might as well face any current relationship with some
- skepsis - it might be over without you realizing it. In that case, it
- would be polite to break up before any loose ends break you up. (I am
- not saying that it would be an easy, or a fun, thing to do.) I cannot
- think now of any relation where 'someone was left for someone else'
- without the former relation being at its end.
- Then again, I did not witness that many bi or polyamorous relations
- breaking up..
