Lots of subjectivity in this article. I wonder why it's always the guy's fault when a relationship ends. Sometimes, the guy is the biggest jerk and worthy of the woman's time; but I know plenty of women who are just as manipulative, dishonest, and unstable as men. Maybe if fewer of these types of prose existed, then there might be fewer minds of men and women poisened when they are in rocky relationships that they really want to salvage.

I always like reading David's articles. So, where are the solutions to breaking up in this article? We play too many mental games with each other. I truly feel honesty is the best solution. However, many of us don't really know exactly what we feel about the most deep, sincere personal issues with ourselves or in relationships. But, if we do, we more than likely are not sure how to express ourselves in caring, positive, self-assuring ways. Where does this leave us? More than likely, we KNOW the truth of most situations. So, you should never lie about how, when, where, why, or whatever. Instead, own your mistakes and only use the most pertinent information of the truth. And, keep to the main point of the problem. Less details, less hurt and insult. Remember, life is hard and lonely enough with the friends that you do have, so try to keep as many as possible because you'll never when they could literally save your life. -THX

I've got the gist of all the break-up lines. My last ex used them all. Including "Let's still be friends". What I'd like to know is how to find a man who knows how to keep his promises.

Gee David....you seem to contradict yourself from one article to the next. Seems to me like you said in this article that you had fights or bads times in the relationship because he was caught flirting......and that can create a bad time in a relationship. Weren't you the one that just wrote an article about how flirting can spice up your life? well which is it? Seems like most of the 3000 people that responded to your article thought flirting was wrong and not a good idea if in a relationship. Now you say it can cause breakups....Hmmmm I read your article just to see what other dumb and stupid stuff you come up with. You see, there is no such thing as harmless flirting if your spoken for.

men think women are complicated, we just say it as it is. Why do men start yelling instead of just talking to you ?? I can hear with two ears.

When I used "I still care about you" it meant "I don't want you to hate me"
