Ended Relationships - The aftermath.

I post this with no personal bias or opinion. It is merely a statement, a question and I was just wondering.

All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

Right, living at Uni and watching the world go by rather happily. However I've been noticing more and more of females of serious, long relationships deciding to pack it in just because they "fancy" some other guy, sometimes merely off a whim. Then suddenly the female breaks it up and really doesn’t seem to care. For those relationships I personally have seen crumble I have been relatively close to both sides, and as the guy seems to be completely devastated, the girl just doesn't seem to have to same reaction. Are you girls just bluddy good actors?

My flat mate for example has just split up with her boy friend of 2 years, and she was laughing as she told me...wtf. I would of thought this was just a one off but I speaking with more and more people both male and female and this is the case in a lot of relationships. I'm personally yet to see or hear of a friends or friends friends relationship ending because of the male. This could just be coincidence...

Opinions?

I was just wondering really. I'm not tarring anyone with no brush nor am I discriminating. I know there are good relationships out there and I whole heartily respect you so very much and also you or I do not know the full story of the relationships, this is merely from an outside view. I just wondered if more people have seen this trend or is it just Manchester! Oh and I know boy friends split with their girl friends all the time, it just doesn't seem as common. All and all I'm just talking about the aftermath emotions and feelings.

(Just wondering if this really should be in H&R or Discussion&#8230:wink:

If thet're breaking up two year relationships and laughing then they must have been pretty pointless relationships

I know lots of girls who are either in r/ships (some fairly long term) of convinience, or who are able to turn their emotions off (as far as the outside world is concerned) when things get difficult or boring. It's kinda scary, tbh.

I can't do either. I cannot be with someone I don't love and I always feel pain when things end.
