THEY
THEY WERE
THEY WERE DECENT. >> THE DOGS WENT CRAZY.
THAT'S ALL I.
>> THE DOGS WERE INTO IT.
GOING ON WITH THE THEME FROM
"DAILY BLAST LIVE,"
WE'RE GOING TO TELL YOU HOW TO
SUCCESSFULLY BREAK UP
WITH SOMEBODY TODAY.
THIS WORKS PERFECTLY.
IF YOU'RE AT HOME, THINKING
MAYBE YOU'RE IN A BAD
RELATIONSHIP, MAYBE YOU NEED TO
END IT, WE'RE GOING
TO TELL YOU HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY
DO IT.
DO IT.
DO IT. >>
DO IT. >> I KNOW.
IT'S HARD.
IT'S HARD. YOU'VE MADE THE DECISION.
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW, AND THESE
ARE STEPS.
ARE STEPS. >> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. >> TO GET YOU THERE.
JUST LIKE RIPPING OFF A BAND
AID.
AID.
AID. >>
AID. >> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. OKAY.
OKAY.
OKAY. SO
OKAY. SO THE FIRST ONE IS, SEEMS
OBVIOUS, TELL THE TRUTH,
BUT DON'T BE CRUEL.
ONE, IT SHOULD COME AS NO
SURPRISE TO THE PERSON.
IT'S PROBABLY AN ISSUE YOU'VE
HAD IN YOUR
RELATIONSHIP.
RELATIONSHIP. THEY PROBABLY KNOW THAT IT
NEEDS TO BE WORK ON.
BUT NOW IT'S ACTUALLY CAUSED
THE DEMISE OF THE
RELATIONSHIP.
RELATIONSHIP. YOU DON'T NEED TO GO ON AND ON
AND ON AND TELL
EVERYTHING THAT'S WRONG WITH
THEM, BECAUSE THAT ADDS
INSULT TO INJURY.
>> EXACTLY.
>> EXACTLY. JUST BE MATURE ANT IT, AND COME
FROM JUST AN HONEST
PLACE, BUT DON'T BE RUDE
>> DON'T BE RUDE.
DON'T BE CRUEL.
AND TO BE MATURE ABOUT IT, LIKE
YOU JUST SAID.
DO IT FACE TO FACE.
DON'T LEAVE A POST IT.
I WAS BROKEN UP ONCE VIA TEXT.
IT WAS INTERESTING, BECAUSE IT
SAID THE ACT OF,
LIKE, THE BREAKING UP IS
ACTUALLY EQUALLY HARD ON
BOTH PEOPLE.
BOTH PEOPLE. HOWEVER, IT'S NOT EVEN THE END
OF THE RELATIONSHIP.
IT'S ALWAYS THE PERSON WHO IS
BROKEN UP WITH
SOMETIMES DOESN'T UNDERSTAND
WHY.
WHY.
WHY. >>
WHY. >> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. >> BECAUSE THE PERSON HASN'T
TOLD THEM, OR HAS DONE
IT IN A SHADY WAY.
SORRY.
SORRY.
SORRY. >>
SORRY. >> YEAH.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> SO THEY CAN'T GET OVER IT.
>> MY BACK AND FORTH GUY DID IT
IN AN E-MAIL WHILE I
WAS AT A CONVENTION, WORKING A
CONVENTION IN NEW
YORK, WHERE I HAD TO BE GAME ON
FOR NINE HOURS.
PRESENTATION, PRESENTATION.
PRESENTATION, PRESENTATION. TAKING A BREAK, I READ THAT.
SO IMMATURE, AND JUST HURTFUL.
>> AND WE LOOK LIKE THE CRAZY
ONES.
ONES.
ONES. >>
ONES. >> YES, THAT JUST WANT SOME
ANSWERS.
ANSWERS.
ANSWERS. >> A NICE CONVERSATION WOULD
HAVE BEEN LOVELY, NOT
JUST A TEXT.
>> IT WOULD HAVE BEEN.
WHATEVER.
WHATEVER.
WHATEVER. NOW IT'S MAKING ME MAD,
THINKING ABOUT THAT PERSON.
>> THE THIRD ONE, WE KIND OF
ALLUDED TO IT EARLIER
IS TO BE SURE -- YOU'D BE
SURPRISED HOW MANY PEOPLE
SECOND-GUESS THEMSELVES AFTER
THEY BREAK UP WITH
SOMEBODY.
SOMEBODY.
SOMEBODY. AND IT'S NORMALLY ON THE PERSON
WHO DOES THE
BREAKING UP.
BREAKING UP. THEY'RE LIKE, "OH, MAYBE I
SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE
THAT."
THAT."
THAT." WHEREAS THE OTHER PERSON
GRIEVES A LITTLE QUICKER
AND GET ON WITH THEIR LIVES.
THE PERSON WHO DOES THE
BREAKING UP FEELS LIKE WHAT
COULD HAVE BEEN.
>> AT THE END OF THE DAY, GIVE
THIS A LOT OF
THOUGHT.
THOUGHT.
THOUGHT. YOU DON'T WANT TO DO SOMETHING
PREMATURELY, BECAUSE
PREMATURELY, BECAUSE RIGHT, THAT PERSON THEY'VE DONE
THEIR GRIEVING, AND
OH, ALL OF THE SUDDEN, THEY'VE
MOVED ON, AND YOU
MISSED YOUR OPPORTUNITY.
>> ANOTHER THING ABOUT BEING
FACE TO FACE, THEY SAY
THE BEST PLACE TO BREAK UP WITH
SOMEBODY IS IN THEIR
HOME OR ON THEIR TERMS UNLESS
THERE IS ALCOHOLIC A
VIOLENT SITUATION.
VIOLENT SITUATION. THAT'S A SERIOUS MATTER, AND
DON'T DO THAT.
IT GIVES YOU THE ABILITY TO
PEDIATRIC UP AND GET
OUT, AND LEAVES THEM IN THEIR
COMFORT ZONE OF BEING
IN THE HOME SO YOU DON'T LINGER
AROUND --
AROUND --
AROUND -- >> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT. >> IF IT WAS THE OTHER WAY,
THEN THE PERSON JUST
STAYS, AND YOU'RE LIKE, "GET
OUT OF MY HOUSE."
>> OR YOU'RE GETTING IN THE
CAR, DRIVING, HIS TEAR
CALL, CRYING, NOT THAT I'VE
DONE THAT BEFORE.
I HAVE.
I HAVE.
I HAVE. THANK GOODNESS FOR SOLID
RELATIONSHIPS.
RELATIONSHIPS. >> EVERYTHING HAPPENS.
>> EVERYTHING HAPPENS THE WAY
IT'S SUPPOSED TO.
AT THE END OF THE DAY IF YOU
ARE DEBATING WHETHER
IT'S TIME TO LET SOMEONE GO,
YEAH.
YEAH.
YEAH. >>
YEAH. >> BEFORE GOING IN, YOU NEED TO
BE FIRM WHETHER YOU
WANT THEM TO CONTACT YOU OR
NOT.
NOT.
NOT. >>
NOT. >> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. >> SO IF YOU WANT TO BE
FRIENDS, MAKE SURE YOU'RE
OKAY WITH IT ON BOTH PARTIES.
I'M DOING A LOT OF DINOSAUR
HANDS.
HANDS.
HANDS. >>
HANDS. >> THAT'S OKAY.
>> MAKE SURE YOU'RE OKAY WITH
IT.
IT.
IT. SET
IT. SET THOSE GUIDELINES BEFORE.
>> BOYFRIEND IN QUESTION WHO
BROKE UP OVER E-MAIL,
HE USED TO LOVE TO SUCK ME BACK
IN WHEN HIS FAMILY
CAME TO VISIT, AND WE WERE
LIVING IN SAN FRANCISCO.
LIKE IT'S -- WELL, SHE'S MY
FRIEND AND WHATEVER.
YOU HAVE TO BE REALLY FIRM
ABOUT THAT.
ABOUT THAT. IT'S GOING BE EASIER FOR YOU TO
MOVE ON.
MOVE ON.
MOVE ON. PLEASE DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKES
THAT I MADE.
I WENT BACK AND FORTH WITH THAT
GUY, BECAUSE HE
ALWAYS WOULD TRY THEREAT
COMMUNICATION JUST AS I WAS
MOVING ON.
MOVING ON. >> I DID IT WITH ONE GUY FOR A
SOLID TWO YEARS
LONGER THAN I SHOULD, BECAUSE I
LOVED HIS MOM AND
SISTER.
SISTER.
SISTER. BUT THEY WERE INCREDIBLE.
I LIKED THEM A LOT.
HIS DAD HAD THIS KARAOKE
MACHINE IN HIS BASEMENT.
>> THAT WAS FUN.
THAT'S A LOT OF FUN.
>> I PROBABLY COULD HAVE JUST
SAVED MY MONEY AND
BOUGHT ONE MYSELF.
>> TWO YEARS HANGING ON.
>> IT WAS A LOT OF BACK AND
FORTH.
FORTH.
FORTH. >>
FORTH. >> I THINK, AS WE ALWAYS SAY,
HOPEFULLY WITH AGE,
COMES WISDOM.
COMES WISDOM. BUT, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING,
TIMING IS EVERYTHING.
I FEEL LIKE I WASTED A LOT OF
YEARS, YOU KNOW, KIND
OF GRIEVING.
OF GRIEVING. >> BUT YOU DID IT.
>> BEING CAUGHT UP IN THE WHY
OF THINGS.
OF THINGS. >> BUT YOU DIDN'T, BECAUSE YOU
LEARNED FROM THOSE.
YOU MADE A GOOD DECISION WITH
JIM.
JIM.
JIM. >>
JIM. >> TOOK ME A LONG TIME.
JIM AT 36, MARRIED AT 37.
THERE'S HOPE OUT THERE IF
YOU'RE THINKING.
YOU'RE THINKING. JUST GIVE YOURSELF TIME.
>> YOU'D RATHER DO IT RIGHT.
>> YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT.
GREAT ADVICE.
GREAT ADVICE. WE'RE
