eWN Relationship Advice Column

[K2Jelly]

So, as Asher suggested, I made a sort of advice column where users can post issues they have concerning relationships, its emotional aspects, its physical aspects or any sort of gesture that needs interpreting for the uninitiated. Advice o f any kind is encouraged, as long as it actually has merit and leads to a satisfying conclusion at first glance. If not, keep it under lock and key.

So anyways, I have a friend, Kevin, here on campus who entered a relationship with a girl named Kate a few weeks ago. Everything seemed to be going fairly well but last night, Kev dropped a bomb on me. He told me that he was going to break up with her after Thanksgiving break because he didn't feel he was compatible with him. I told him that not to pussyfoot around with the matter and just do it and get it out of the way because the moment you feel that you don't belong with her, every second that her head's in the clouds is a crime when you hesitate. He took my advice and he broke up with her today. After that happened, he asked me to hand her a movie she left in his room as well as a bracelet that she owns. I approached her a couple of minutes later and I returned the movie no problem but she told me that I could have the bracelet. I asked her why but she told me she just didn't want it anymore. I left it at that and we parted ways.

Okay, so I don't know how I should interpret this. What do you guys think it means?

She doesn't want the bracelet, it's as simple as that. It's significant of the relationship and of no further use to her. Don't see it as HER giving YOU a bracelet present!

And secondly, don't be one of those guys who thinks every second spent in a relationship that's not working could be precious seconds where they could be meeting "the one". Don't be a Mosby.

I think it means that you need to look into finding some friends who won't put you in the middle of their relationship woes, and you need to quit allowing yourself to play the part of the errand boy. Grown ass people can handle their own grown ass problems (and this exchanging of trinkets stuff sounds like straight freshman year high-school silliness).

True dat, yo. That's not even realistic. Girlfriend should have gotten to enjoy her Turkey day without having a break-up rattling around in her head.

It means absolutely nothing.
But you shouldn't do that stuff for your friend man. He should do that stuff by himself.

[K2Jelly]

Thanks for the advice, you two. That was my initial interpretation but I just wanted to be sure.

Anways, the reason why I suggested that he do it as soon as possible was because right after break, we have to study for final exams and I didn't want her to stress about it while she was studying. BTW, what's a Mosby?

Ted Mosby, the main character from How I Met your Mother. Rob hates the character. Expect him to explain in great detail why

I'm sorry, but...science above!

There seems to only be one member with these issues, lol, . But, if it leads to more people never contemplating about violating unconcious women, then maybe there is a place for this kind of thing?

But...but...it ain't rape if they're REM-cycling! I swear, your honor!

No answer doesn't necessarily mean no. Something like that?
