If you know me personally, you know I love birthdays! There
is something about other people’s birthdays that gets me super excited. If we’re
friends I’ve probably started planning your birthday before you’ve even given
it a thought, so there was no surprise my friend asked me to help plan his
girlfriends surprise party. After giving him various ideas on locations and
themes for the party he dropped the line ‘I can’t wait till her birthday is
over so I can break up with her!’ [Pause] I really had to catch my train of
thought after he said this, what kind of person plans someone an extravagant
party only to break up with them? We all know I’m pro woman in every situation
so I was ready to attack him with insults but then I heard what he had to say.
He had been unhappy in this relationship for a long time so the break up wasn’t
really a shock, it was his timing. Then it dawned on me, in any break up there is
no perfect time or place. You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
