- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

MODERATORS
Tossing relationships like this away is a sign of narcissism. It's fine to move on but it's definitely maladapted to be giddy about it.
"Several months ago" ... Not exactly suggesting it would happen over night. Recognizing a schism and supporting eachother through the changes in life is preferable to doing so depressed and hatefully, no?
Amicable divorces are narcissistic?
I see you didn't read my post.
I literally did. I don't see why you'd believe people have to mournful about an amicable divorce or why that would be narcissistic otherwise.
They said "tossing away relationships like this is narcissistic" not "amicable divorce is bad".
But the way this relationship is ending is amicable divorce lol.
The way this relationship is ending is throwing away a relationship. The divorce method is irrellevant.
The author specifically stated they're still close friends. So they're still in a relationship. Again, how is this narcissistic?
I'm still confused here, what's the difference?
The difference is having a relationship with the strength of a wet noodle and celebrating it.
Why should you have to be miserable about it? They still have a relationship, it's just no longer a romantic one.
You don't have to be miserable, but the misery from leaving someone you love, even if it's 1000% mutual and friendly is not really a choice, but a natural and healthy emotional reaction.
Sure, but it's not the only valid response. It's perfectly natural to be upset when a relationship falls apart, but it's just as natural to mutually decide things aren't working out and move on without grief or regret.
