Heartbreak and Tears - Say Goodbye. (14)
OnlyLiveTwice: Is honesty always the best policy?
In matters of international diplomacy, it is often the case that what is NOT said, is more important than what IS said. It is the same in love. Break-ups and rejections can leave scars for a lifetime, scars that never heal.
In these difficult moments of love lost, which can certainly be defining moments in one's life, what would you prefer? - sweet diplomacy to limit the damage to your heart, or the the plain truth, no matter how much it hurts? Lies to limit the damage, or full-on truth? Oh, my achy-breaky heart....

Well, you would need one with a firm hand, a certain cold detachment, and a business-like attitude about inflicting pain...I'll let you guess the candidate.

If particular truths don't need to be told, then why hurt the person more than is necessary?

OnlyLiveTwice: I'm not sure about that. It would depend on circumstances. I do think that skilful diplomacy has a role to play.
if a relationship is going to end, what point in in engineering a world of damage on the way out? Allow the other paerty to exit with some dignity intact.
If you give it the gravity needed in an honest and kind way you can do no more. The break has to be clean or you could end up being their crutch.if a relationship is going to end, what point in in engineering a world of damage on the way out? Allow the other paerty to exit with some dignity intact.
The only circumstances that could and should make a difference is if children are involved.

Breaking up is hard to do. There are no guidebooks, every case needs to be hand-tailored.The only circumstances that could and should make a difference is if children are involved.

truth with compassion, in an environment of acceptance
(but if that were happening...
, the breakup and rejection probably wouldn't be...)blame is easy
taking self responsibility for one's choices....a bit tougher.
so i still think honesty without blame is the way to go.
