It seems to me that for most people, breaking up, while never a fun thing to do has its moments of civility and respect that at times outweigh the value of the actual relationship.
"You know I think you a great, decent fellow."
"Suffice it to say that I think you're really great, and I'm sorry for how this turned out."
"I must confront my loss before I am lucky enough to trip along someone like you, and you are .. for better or worse (for you) a great listener. Thank you."
This may have something to do with the lack of emotional investment one has in the relationship, thus it becomes easier to walk away from or be let go.
It was if we were partners on the dance floor. The music started, the dance began, I looked over his shoulder but not in his eyes, he looked at the floor. Neither stumbled nor mis-stepped but the dance was missing something crucial..passion, or even imperfection. Had he stepped on my foot, it would have caused a reaction, a laugh, something that we could connect over. Something to make it worth elongating the dance.
But as it is, the dance is done. The dancers part, and look for other dance partners.
