Breakups are rarely easy, even if you’re the one who has decided it’s time for things to end. It’s awkward, it’s emotional, and it can leave everyone at a bit of loose ends, don’t you think?
Apparently, some people also think breaking up involves stealing things. That’s never happened to me, personally, though one time I did gain a cat.
