“bawling, dibs, not balling.”
Arkady, DIBS may have intended that thinking it’s possible thw woman may use sex to hang onto Kens.
I once tried to break up with a girl while we were driving (I know I know stupid and weird right? but there we were). She opened the car door and tried to jump out of the car while it was going about 30 mph. That chick was INSANE. Another time I tried to break up with her in a bar in Boston and we ended up having really hot make-up sex in the men’s room.
Does she have facebook? be prepared for her to spew some shit on that if she does.
jester, that part is unavoidable – especially with someone as unstable as this one.
DON’T do it at a public restaurant, or in her home. I suggest sitting on her stoop or taking a walk to the park or something. It’s always easier to talk about difficult things while walking. Then she can walk away if she chooses.
Btw, I completely agree with EVERYTHING Jessi said about this. Truly, after a month? Easier and perfectly acceptable to do this by phone. Most women will come up with a way to find a breaker-upper “low class and slimy” no matter what he does or how he does it because… HE JUST BROKE UP WITH HER. And she’s hurting and in denial and finding ways to ease the cognitive dissonance. But I also understand the need to be a “stand-up guy” and face it in person.
Emailing your mutual friends and saying lies about you, that part sucks.
Kens, can you have sex with her one last time and then break up as you’re leaving?

Sorry, one track mind.
Arkady, be a baller, not a bawler.
Kens, I am sorry about that. You seemed to really like her when you met her. But you are lucky that this is happening one month in. When somebody is insulted and outraged to that extent by just normal interaction with an old friend, something is really off. I think it is the right thing to do to talk to her in person for a limited period of time, but if I could suggest something…. nowhere near a bed (or a knife).
