50 Ways To Leave Your Lover
Parting should not be that complicated. A relationship is only valid while both parties want to be in it. If any party opts out, well then that is it. As somebody once said, a relationship is too big for one, too small for three but just right for two.
But it is not always that easy. Sometimes the other party does not see it this way and then a person who could have been remembered with fondness, suddenly leaves a foul taste in your mouth.
How do you handle the phone calls after midnight containing phrases like ‘I’m going to kill myself’ and ‘You were just after my body’ or maybe, if it was a male who got the boot, something like ‘You were just after my money’. And sometimes you may even get threats and blackmail as a side dish.
You can hang up the phone knowing that the person will call again the next night... if not immediately.
Alternatively, you can offer poison or a rope, but the outcome to that could be horrendous. Nobody wants that on his or her conscience.
Or you can try to try to placate the person knowing all too well that it will not be longer than a few hours before the next call.
And as a last resort, you can make up again, which will be futile, for it will only postpone the inevitable for a short while. If you still wanted to be with the person, you would not have broken it off in the first place.
How do you deal with it, or are there other alternatives?
Shakespeare once said, “Parting is such sweet sorrow.” I suppose he was talking about a different kind of parting.
Stay loose! It is Friday.

About the phone calls. Yeah?
Maybe! Just maybe they hopped on the bus with Gus.....
Is this a song or a poem? 50 ways is too much.
I only know this "a short pain is better than a long pain ." if the relationship is dead, there is no friendship to remain any more especially your previous lover once deceived to you. All in all, let your soul free is important.
Now I am curious on the 50 ways...
It is easy with a cell phone but I don't think there is an easy way to block a call to your land line.
I doubt it if the left will be prepared to love the leaver without canceling the leave.
Or slipped out the back with Jack.
Here In The USA!
It's simple.

It is a song, It was quite a big hit. Oh yes, I forgot, you people have youtube blocked.
Have A Flake Funeral....
I'm not sure about here. I have never had any real need to block a caller, but I'll pass it on to who has the problem.
Of course it is excellent way, when you can make your ex to think that she/he is who has break up with you.
1.. Take your clothes off.
2.. Win the lottery
3.. Take your clothes off.
4.. Have your hair done.
5.. Take your clothes off.
6.. Smile at all men.
7.. Take your clothes off.
8.. Give expensive gifts
9.. Take your clothes off.
10. Talk to strange men.
To be continued soon. Don't miss the next episode.
I'm not the one with the problem here but that is the way I do it as well. I'm not good at breaking up and usually try to induce the other one to break up! For some reason some people feel better if the can break it off.
All of it, dear. It is guaranteed to work every time.
I don't know if we're talking about the same case and I only heard his story his story. But does it matter how it happened? She should cut her losses and move on. After all, this was only a two-month affair. (Are we talking about the same thing?)
A flake funeral? What's that?
On my word, but you are upset! Don't shoot me. I'm just the messenger.
At least we know that we're talking about the same person.
Wow!!!
That should give me some idea!!
Sigh...that's always seems to be the case......
'Sweet Hello, Sad Goodbye.....'
Deep
Can you forward her profile name please so I can invite her for a weekend too. I won't bother with minor details like getting the spare bedroom ready.
Ps
Don't mention her name here otherwise I may have to go on a waiting list. Just drop me a PM.
DC,
Maybe I should invite you for a weekend... or maybe a fortnight.
Jokes aside, this fella was always a bit of a womanizer but I did not realize it was so bad. Maybe he must try Bea. She'll sort him out in no time.
I know that you know and just won't tell me.
Ok! be like that.
On a more serious note, I made a few phone calls and it seems that Bea is right. This fella is just bragging. He's 'complaining' to everybody. And I felt sorry for him!
I shall tell my friend that his houseguest is in demand, and get that name. Mainland Europe to Africa is a long way for a weekend, though ... the way he told it, he barely survived. She's a lady who knows her own mind and what she expects a host's duties to include. You might need to call in reinforcements and offer her a longer stay, with a couple of venues. The good news is, she's apparently also a very good cook.
I know, I know. A real keeper.
Shutting up now.
Maybe a fortnight?
I have servants doing all the little odd jobs I don't want to do. I hope I have some staff members left when she goes back.
I changed my mind. It was too cold. Mind you, if I knew you would be there, I'd probably have gone. On the other hand, you were in such a foul mood earlier on...
(more to see if I can do it) (Yay)
Enjoying yourself spying on me.
I also want popcorn.
You guys are horrible.
Not even a minute of privacy on the blogs.
Cannot even talk to my baby sister in privacy.
This sounds very promising. Plus you can offer some prime skinner, right?
I may need more popcorn.
