Category 1: You leave him feeling good about it.
Every now and again we wake up realizing that we’re not with the man of our dreams. We are living a nightmare. All your feelings are washed out and you don’t even fancy him much any longer. You may even wonder “how did I end up here?”. You get the itch. It’s time for a change. It’s hard to hurt someone, particularly if he is picturing the two of you as “it”, but it must be done.
Category 2: You leave him feeling sad about it
Sometimes relationships don’t work out despite the best of intentions and love/passion there may be. May be caused by circumstances beyond your control, it may be language or communication barriers in the picture. It’s when you see daylight and, with regret and a heavy heart, decide it’s time to throw in the towel.
Category 3: He leaves you, but your semi-OK/OK about it
Your pride may feel a little knock. You may be pissed off at him for beating you to it. “Your not dumping me, I’m leaving you”. But all in all the fact he left has no detrimental effect on your life, and bouncing back is a pick nick compared to category 4.
Category 4: He leaves you and you are mortified.
The shock, the crumbling of one’s entire life, the endless throbbing in your chest, snot and buckets of tears, sobbing in bed.. you get the picture. One minute you are happy and with the man you love. Next thing you know you are transformed into an existence of disbelief. This is when they declare they have fallen for someone else. Or worse, admit adultery. It’s when he says he does not love you anymore. It’s a sudden request for divorce. The real MaCoy.
