You're just lucky it wasn't SpellJammer you did that too! He'd put your number on bathroom stalls and have Buh-Buh calling your house wanting hot anal sex!
There is never a good excuse to end a relationship. Not unless they did something hanus like cheat on you or whatever. Anything else is just an excuse from boredom which only proves you immaturity and inability to truly love. You don't even deserve it..
Agreeing with one on some of the above, but you're far from totally right.
Sure, a breakup can be the result of the lack of interest, lack of true intentions and failing to see the true value of the other person. But it takes time to really get to know one another. Quite a few relations are based on early impressions, and as these relations advance one of those involved might discover that the choices made are not ones that will ensure a happy future. I think it is only wise to end a relationship in which you cannot see much hope anymore (despite the love you felt at the start), instead of maintaining it for your lover's sake. It will crash anyhow in that case.
People change, and so do situations.
Sure, a non-mutual breakup will always result in the other getting hurt (and it is painful for both nevertheless), but continuing against your own wishes will only bring more sorrow.
It's a matter of bringing the bad news with dignity, for as you have shared a time of true love, short as it might have been, the parting should be with mutual respect.
From then on it's a matter of personality, some can at least understand, some freak out. Some remain friends, some you will never talk to again. But you should always do what seems best for you, being as kind and understanding as possible to others, but don't drag something that is dying anyfurther. It just happens! How many people end up getting married to their first lovers anyway?
