I am glad I have never been in a mess like that, but I have also had a hard time ending relationships. I once dated a girl for nearly eight months because she was a nice person, and I didn't want to hurt her feelings, so I just couldn't break up with her. Here's the kicker: When I finally did end it, I found out that she wasn't so thrilled with me either but was also going along for the ride.
Thank God we didn't buy a dog together.
My friend Michelle cracked me up today because she was complaining about how hard it is for lesbians to break up. "Whenever they are about to break up, they do desperate things like buy a dog together or a new apartment just to avoid reality," she said.
