I feel for him right now, it really sucks getting stuck in a relationship like this. You want to breakup but you can't do it on her birthday, wouldn't be right. I remember dating this girl in high school, we had been going out for around five months. She was crazy about me but was super clingy, I kind of liked it at first but it got suffocating pretty quick. When I decide to call it off I realized her birthday was two days later, so I waited because I didn't want to ruin it for her. I should do it in person, a week after that was the soonest I could see her again, on Valentines day. It's kind of fucked to dump a girl on Valentines, so I wait. I figure I'll talk to her next weekend, then her dad goes to the hospital for a heath attack (he recovered). It's was really terrible for her so I did my best to help her through it. I don't want to sound like a dick but it was awful. I just wanted some time to be alone with my thoughts and not have to go out somewhere or constantly be on the phone but something just kept blocking me in.
