You have to persuade your ex that it is better this way for everyone. And this is difficult if you have not entirely persuaded yourself. It is especially tricky to do this if you are also naked, and making two cups of coffee.

A lot of people are made to feel bad for being sad, so on top of already being unhappy, you're gonna hate yourself for it.
