I guess if they still love you there is no good way? [though I have known men to be so miserable to you, they forced YOU into leaving them! ] Congrad's on your win! Light & Love

That is a sad commentary on men. Hopefully that has only been a limited example of how you have witnessed men behaving.

Unfortunately there is no easy way, song is playing in my head right now, funny how in the song he is asking a woman about the fifty ways,which poses the question do woman have more ways to end it then men?.....LOL. Great write Rick. Hugs

Probably, women are very creative. Nowadays they will probably just text the guy.

Hadn't heard that song in years ... first thing I thought, after I smiled, was "Get a new plan Stan, don't try to be coy Roy"....a very enjoyable and creative acrostic that filled my head with so many things :)

That's great! Glad I could bring some music to your day.

It should say "50 ways to (please) your lover." That would be more pleasant. Nice write!

That sounds like a lot more fun. I only know about 30 ways. You'll have to send me a few pointers*lol*

Such is the common tactic from humanity's sheep where they play detective in search for mistakes of another person's heart rather than cherishing the beauty of their heart. Great piece.

I agree. The only sub-category for pain, is time. How long will it last. I prefer good outcomes over "lesser of two evils". Or, in this case, 50 evils. :)

Thanks Drake, maybe they came up with fifty ways in hopes of finding the way that would cause the least amount of pain. Personally I think that would be impossible, the pain is always felt.
