When Is It Okay to Leave?

[dalumat]

I ran into the ex-boyfriend of my friend Kung Fu Guy on the MRT train. They had just broken up. He had broken the heart of my friend. He'd left him

aaaaw beautiful! and i agree on all points. everyone expects different outcomes from a relationship. kinda sucks that for some people, commitment that comes with love becomes unwanted bondage.

great to hear coming from a married woman! thanks wring. :-)

[wring]

divorcee, s'il vous plait!

[dalumat]

oops sorry. even better! hehe :-D

*hugs* I agree. Love shouldn't be a cage. It should be liberating.

[dalumat]

i've always sort of known that in theory, so it's nice to hear coming from someone who probably knows firsthand. how long have you been in your relationship?

[khazkhaz]

Bah. We lasted two years. Once again i find myself single. Pwet.

OMG! So is it really the end for Kung Fu Guy and ***? Its sad... I heard they had something like this before but they were able to fix it.

I wish them all the best...

[dalumat]

yep it's the end. to be honest, buti naman last na. *** has been leaving and returning then leaving and returning. it's cruel and selfish. kung fu guy deserves better. if *** wants to come back yet again, kung fu guy says he might say yes. if you ask me, sana wag na. please lang tama na.

True. it's all personal choice, man. i was gonna conclude it for you, but you got there anyway. though for me, there need not be any particular reason to break up, even that dreaded f word. it can be all of a cloud. maybe it's just evolution of the spirit, or choosing not to.

[dalumat]

what?! there's got to be a reason. or reasons. or a cloud of reasons. you can't just abandon someone without leaving them something to hold on to. that's cruel. if you leave without reason, you're probably just too lazy to figure it out for yourself and/or too selfish to explain. either way, that's shitty, man.

[bodiddley]

maybe freedom sounds like a better reason than i got tired being with you.

[dalumat]

yeah but at least the latter's more honest. if you're going to be an asshole, own up to it.

The "what if" thriller-query is so FORCES OF NATURE starring Ben Aff and Sandra Bull (I'm too tired to type their whole names (But not too tired to explain that I am (see what I mean?).).).

*smirk*

To answer the question the entry title poses, when someone leaves, and never comes back, that is never okay. Nope. Never. Period. There.

=)

i didn't see that movie. what was the what-if thriller query?
