You have single sheet of paper and a pair of scissors. You've been asked to cut the paper into two halves in any way you like. How do you cut the paper?
1. A clean cut straight down the middle.
2. A line curving back and forth several times.
3. A jagged-edged cut.
4. A single gently rounded curve.
Try it...
Based on Kokology, this is what your answer means:
Cutting off a relationship is much like cutting a page in two. There's no reason either of the processes needs to be complicated -- a few quick snips and you're done. But things don't always work out so easily in real life. It could be simple clumsiness born of haste, but often there's more to it than that. Sometimes making a clean cut just doesn't seem to suit the situation. Sometimes we like to get creative, to express the way we really feel.
1.
A clean cut straight down the middle.
When you end a relationship, you really end it, without hand wringing, regrets, or remorse. This stems form your belief that clean cuts are the most painless and heal without leaving scars, a surgical principle you apply with cold, objective precision in all realms of your life. As a result of that "right down the middle" approach, you have probably managed to accumulate a few half sets of cutlery, some mateless chairs, and an encyclopedia that only goes up to M.
2.
A line curving back and forth several times.
You agonize over your decisions, fretting endlessly over how to ensure that no one is left feeling angry or hurt. But playing the waiting game only prolongs the agony for you and everyone involved. Sometimes you vacillate so much that it makes your head spin. Breakups are hard enough as it is, there's no reason they have to make you seasick too.
3.
A jagged-edged cut.
Maybe "Rip that damn paper into tiny pieces" is a better way to describe how you cut a relationship. You don't burn your bridges -- you blow them up. To your way of thinking, the phrase happy ending is an oxy*****. And on the spirit of fairness, you try to make sure that everybody gets their share of the grief.
4.
A single gently rounded curve.
The hopeless romantic in you prefers "au revior" to "adieu," and you never see the logic of breaking up when it's obvious that you both need is to spend some time apart, But don't forget that not everyone shares your undying sense of optimism. Sometimes "it's over -- I never want to see you again" means just that.
my answer: is number 1
How do you end up a relationship?
