still cheaper than therapy*

a couple i know is splitting up. this is very odd. and they're not young and mobile, like us; they have a dog, turtles, a lovely place outside of town with a pond and a tomato garden. i've always known them as a couple. it's always been both of them. and though they each say, when you ask, that they're amicable and they'll be good friends ("better as friends than as.."), i wonder if they'll be ... companionable enough to have over simultaneously, for example.
i don't think i've been very good at breaking up with people, historically ... though further practice is not something i'd wish for.
some of my friends have had those on-again, off-again relationships. i've never had one. i've never understood the rationale for getting back together. it's been broken off once, presumably due to some sort of reason, and they're always suprised when the same thing happens again.
why is that?
