It's Over: I Said It First!

As my friends and I enter into the phase in our life where we are looking for "grown up relationships", as we like to call it jokingly, we notice that it is harder to leave someone that is bad for us. Once you've been with someone for so long you forget what its like to be single, so when the relationship is not be working, people tend to be scared about the inevitable "break-up". This in turn reverts to a childish game of "i ended it first, so I win" like ending a bad relationship is a contest. This game reeks of insecurity on either part, because when you end a relationship weather being the dumper or dumpee it sucks, so instead of trying to end it first or forcing the hand of your counterpart it is a cop-out of dealing with real emotions and real relationship problems. This is past the day and age of puppy love and we'll be together forever, we are in reality, do I work for you and do you work for me?
