    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.

      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.

      “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?

          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?
