Goat horns smell bad

Everyone encounters a bit of bad luck in love sometimes, even a "Love Expert" like myself. A couple of months ago, I wrote an article saying how I had found love. A few nights ago, the love I thought I had won was taken from me.

My boyfriend of two months suddenly decided that we were not compatible. He also informed me that we wanted completely different things. I wanted the family life, and he didn't, despite the fact that he had, not even two weeks before the break-up, been telling me that he wanted me to have his children. Needless to say, I was in shock about the entire event. How could someone just LEAVE me? I cried, but it didn't matter. I didn't beg for him back and I didn't make a scene. But the whole thing got me to thinking about the ways you can make your break-up better:

1. Do NOT break up in an e-mail or on an instant messenger unless your relationship has been strictly online. This makes you seem like a coward.
2. Do NOT tell the other person that you "love" them anyway. This is especially bad if you have never really said you loved them before.
3. DO give the other person time to think. More than likely, you've had time to think about the break-up, whereas they've been given 5 minutes.
4. Do NOT bring up their family, and say how wonderful they are. If the dumpee's family thinks you are great, it's because THEY made you seem that way. Now they have to think about how to tell everyone it's over.
5. Do NOT say goodbye, and then hang out with them the next day just because you have mutual friends. This puts your friends in a bad position.

Most importantly, remember that break-ups are hard for everyone involved. But with a little kindness and consideration, you can remain friends and life can go on. That's what will happen anyway…life will go on.
