Well after reading all the entries for the He's Just Not That Into You book I have to say we've all had some harsh break ups! I actually cringed upon reading them. Yikes!

Thank you all for sharing your stories. I received notes saying their ex broke up with them via text message. Some had their friends do their dirty work for them. But by and far the worst way to learn about your break up is simply by not hearing from your boyfriend or girlfriend. I don't understand why people can't just sit down with their love and say, hey - I care about you but it ain't working out.

Some folks got dumped on their wedding day (never a cool thing.) Some moved and never told their partner where they'd be! And one person got dumped on Valentine's Day, but not before their ex suggested one last roll in the hay. Harsh.

Breaking up kindly is one of my hot buttons. I hear so many stories of folks that get dumped in the harshest of ways that I've developed a real pet peeve about bad break up behavior.

To that end, about a year ago I wrote an article about How to Break Up With Someone and also one that asked: Are You a Bad Breaker Upper? Let's all learn from this and realize that if we end things on the most positive terms in one relationship, the good feelings and proper closure will help us in the next one.

In the meantime, I know you are all wondering who won the copy of He's Just Not That Into You. The winner is Terri, who wrote:

"I got dumped at a Christians couple retreat in the mountains. Left a note on the Bible and took the car. We were told no cell phones or anything else to distract us. No phone, no car, and 2 days left. I got a ride home with a couple who preached to me the entire way. 2hours!!!"

Oooh. I can sympathize! Terri, please contact me at: cherieburbach@yahoo.com and give me your information so I can send your book out.

In the meantime, I'll have another contest coming on Friday. Come on back then and remember, kind break ups are best!
