Question

[firecat]

(inspired by a comment I made in jodawi's journal)

When you break up with someone, do you feel stupid?

As in "I should have known this would happen, why did I bother getting involved," or "I should have prevented what led to this breakup"?

(This is not about anything currently happening in my life.)

Yes and no. With the breakups I've had to date, I can look back on the entire situation and see every last warning sign which hindsight insists I should've seen and acted on. I've never been wholly surprised at the end of a relationship aside from method of learning about it, though. I do wish my intuition yelled a bit louder sometimes. My messiest dissolution to date would've ben a lot more painless for all parties if I'd spoken up about six weeks sooner.
