...break it Off

Hello gallery,

The other day I was asked by a friend about whether or not she should break it off with her boyfriend. As the caring and sensitive soul that I am, I responded like both a poet and a scholar (mind you, my response was in broken Portuguese, so there's a strong likelihood that she didn't quite get this message)... yeah.

The end of a relationship is like a boat on fire in the middle of the sea. If you jump, it sucks. But if you stay, it'll be worse. So jump.

And how did I know she was at the end of her rope? It's always the same: simply by her asking the question. "Should I stay with him/her?" is like asking "It hurts when I pee, do you think something's wrong?" There's a chance that it'll go away on its own, but really, something needs to be fucking done about it. Unlike my analogy, it's much easier to just cut a relationship off and fish for a new one. Your bits that pee on the other hand, I wouldn't suggest it.

But take my advice for what it's worth, I like being single and I'm not too keen on having children. Whatevs.
