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?

[-] SeattleRain@lemmy.world -2 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

They said "tossing away relationships like this is narcissistic" not "amicable divorce is bad".

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 points 5 months ago

But the way this relationship is ending is amicable divorce lol.

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world -1 points 5 months ago

The way this relationship is ending is throwing away a relationship. The divorce method is irrellevant.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 5 months ago

The author specifically stated they're still close friends. So they're still in a relationship. Again, how is this narcissistic?

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

I'm still confused here, what's the difference?

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

The difference is having a relationship with the strength of a wet noodle and celebrating it.

[-] Theharpyeagle@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Why should you have to be miserable about it? They still have a relationship, it's just no longer a romantic one.

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] Theharpyeagle@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

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.
