When women break-up or are broken up with, a lot of times it seems like its a prelude to renegotiation.

If I ask the girl whats going on after the break-up, I might get responses like: I don't know, we haven't talked.

Its almost like the break-up is her way, or time to try to work out certain behaviors, and if they don't work out, maybe try and establish a friendship.

But a lot of time it leads to the continuation of an odd quasi relationship, where neither person has totally moved on, they aren't together, but they are kind of mentally into each other still.

Has anyone else noticed this as well? The threads on here seem replete with it.

This thread is old, but I'm laughing because it's so true. Yeah, once I'm done, I'm done. None of that can we still be friends stuff. All bridges are burned to the ground for me. I move on.
