Dear Breakup Girl,
Is it best to break up with her when you know it won't last, just to end it on good terms?
-- Jon

Dear Jon,
It's best to break up with her when you know it won't last, period. Breakup Girl does not endorse impulsive breakups -- hasty, nasty little spasms attributable to moon phases, mood swings, mood rings, and such (as in "I hate the way s/he blinks. It's over"). Breakup Girl does, however, encourage swift -- yet sensible, sensitive -- action on breakups waiting (if not begging) to happen, especially if someone might be leading someone on. Still, even a timely jilt does not automatically produce "good terms" -- at least not necessarily right away. But you're on the right track.
Love,
Breakup Girl
