my breakups seem to have a mandatory encounter, where she comes over in "full warpaint." We finalize the break-up, she hates me, she starts bawling, and leaves with her warpaint dripping off her face.
so , yeah, real cordial. i'm an adherent to the "all women are crazy" school of thought.
I can honestly state that I've never been inclined to shout expletives or degrade my partner simply because our relationship had run its course. This has been the case for each relationship I've been in and all but one of the women behaved in the same manner. It serves no on any good to tear down your ex simply because you're upset or because "she/he started it". I'm also proud that I'm able to maintain a friendly relationship with my ex's.
Just curious as to everyone else opinion on the matter.
Has your partner degraded you after a break-up. Were the feelings mutual?
It depends on the length of the relationship, and how/why the breakup.
One of my ex's we are still on great terms. Another? Let's just say I have good aim, if the &*^&^%&^% comes around here starting trouble.
Sorry bud, if your ex treated you like dirt or took every opportunity to degrade you in public (before and after), please spare me with the bs sermon that you would shake hands, give a hug and say "have a nice life".
Its happened before, not much to do besides wash my hands of the situation. Yelling does no one any good. Just my opinion of course.
I've long understood that people will always do what they want in the end. Being volatile won't reverse that.
I've tried to be cordial and received lies. After that, they are just gone. No return calls, texts are forwarded that ask, 'why are we still in contact with each other,' etc. Cordial works for me, but unfortunately, has not worked for some former partners. Those where it did end amenably were typically followed by an extended silence and a re-connection years later. And the reconnection means I can call you, and you can call me, but because of our lifestyles, we won't be chatting nightly. I may reach you next month or next year or five years from now, but not as it was and not with any kind of formal consistency. I'm good with that.
