You should dump someone at least once in your life Katie....it's very empowering....makes you feel for a few moments that you are in control of your life and emotions, before collapsing into a tearful wreck on the sofa with a box of Kleanex, bottle of Chardonnay and a Brigit Jones DVD.

Empowering? Really?? I always came away feeling like I was a complete bastard, even though I was generally doing the right thing and calling a halt to something that was absolutely doomed anyway.

What Loz said. Dumping someone is never easy and can sometimes be quite painful and embarrassing. In the past I have often become very unreliable in a relationship that clearly wasn't working so that eventually they dump me. It's a lot easier that way and they may feel they've got one over you. But they haven't. But only you know that.
Unreliability can be hurtful too but it does kind of give clues. If a relationship is right then it's easy. Too many people hang on in relationships that are going nowhere or doomed and then wonder why they get dumped. You just have to be honest with yourself and never think you can't feel that way about someone else.

Oh that's where it went. Can I have my alarm clock back now please?

Well it could have been worse. She could have quoted Bono: "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle".


Count yourself lucky.


(And before anyone says it, I know that was originally Irina Dunn, not Bono, but I was just trying to keep the popstar continuity going....)

I was once dumped for turning 30. By a fellow I didn't realize I was dating. He said it was moving too fast, and that my ticking biological clock was now a gong. He was scared that we would be shopping for furniture soon.


He ended by saying "It's not you, it's me".


Uh, thanks for clearing that up, freak!


He then married and knocked up the next girl he dated within the year.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
