Humans Are Bad at Breakups

Breakups are an unavoidable part of dating and relationships. Ending a dating ‘thing’ is particularly challenge, especially with so many interactions happening online or over text.

Like most of people, you probably have some break-up stories to tell. You may have been in relationships that ended abruptly and painfully. You might have been in ones that never really seemed to have a definitive end.

Maybe your partner or date started freezing you out. Or maybe they just fell off the face of the Earth altogether.

Regardless of your background and personal experiences, you probably know break-ups can suck.
