Something strange has happened over the past year.  All of my closest friends, who were in long term relationships are now single again.  Each of them were in relationships from 2 to 8 years long.  And now they are single.  And I kinda like having my friends single…  it means they have more time to hang out with me.  Of course I’m sure it has much harsher impacts on their lives.
I have been single for 10 years now.  Sure I have seen people along the way… but nothing really serious. So it’s kinda strange to hear my friends talk about how hard it will be for them to be single again, or how much they are going to enjoy being single.  What does single really mean?  Is it possible to be single in a relationship?  That would be my ideal relationship….  company with space.
Even worse… one of mates has found that his ex is now seeing his previous ex.   Do we have no boundaries??? Â
What’s the worse break up scenario you know of?  Feel free to post your comments here.

Wow, To be single again. What a thought that is. I’ve just passed my 27th year anniversary with my partner & we’re still like dogs in heat. To be single again at this point, I’d be terrified.
Not a breakup story, but after I had broken up with my ex, a little whiles later I was seeing this guy. He was already in a threesome type relationship. We only sort of dated for a month or so, before we kind of stopped seeing each other, but within a week he was dating my ex. The worst part? The ex and I were still living in the same house so the guy had just moved bedrooms.
Oh, I have thought of a break up story, thankfully not mine. A guy we know was in a relationship when we met him. They moved from interstate and in about three weeks of moving to Melbourne they broke up as this friend had started seeing someone else. This new relationship lasted a few years before it discovered that our friend was becoming enamoured by someone else in another country (the fact that this other lover came over for a visit at one point during this secret affair is um, well, beside the point?) Anyway when our friend broke up with the Australian partner it was pretty bad. Aussie ex went looking through the computer for emails, contacts etc. so friend put passwords on it, so aussie ex put a password on the phone so friend and new lover couldn’t phone each other. Very yukky and sad breakup. Interesting to note that again a few years later, new lover is now an ex, and friend of new ex lover is now the new lover. A tangled web some people weave!
