Ever since MJ and I broke up, I've been thinking a lot about the rules (official and unofficial) of breaking up. Don't believe there are rules? Google it! Still don't believe me? Check out here and here.
Why do we let magazine editors and wannabe therapist (best friends included) tell us how to play the love game? Why is love even a game to begin with? We stress over when to move on. We fear the moving on too soon implies lack of investment in the previous relationship. Simultaneously, we fear taking too long to move on shows desperation, depression, or being clingy.
I say, chill.
Break ups aren't easy, neither are relationships. But adding unnecessary rules and guidelines only makes them ten billion times harder! From now on, forget to rules. Do what you need and want to do, when you need and want to do it. I will.
