Dear Breakup Girl,

I recently parted ways with my boyfriend of five months, over (as far as I can tell) a spaghetti dinner. In any case, shortly after splitting, we met again and promptly hopped into bed. I unwittingly believed that this encounter would mean something to both of us. Apparently I was wrong. I called him up to talk about the situation, and he was completely nonchalant, and became irritated with my repeated question of "is that all you have to talk about?" Anyway, the conversation ended with me being fairly hurt and confused, and him being generally clueless. Was it wrong for me to expect more? Please help me out.

Dear Tory,

What you have here is Classic Relapse. See, breakups can be right up there with oysters, figs, and The Red Shoe Diaries in terms of their aphrodisiac qualities. It's like, "Wow, you look great without ... commitment."

So, a Relapse and a Reunion are two entirely different animals. People: safeguard your feelings -- and don't toy with those of others. Either break up or don't; act accordingly. But if you are going to break up, you might as well be eating spaghetti at the time

Love,
Breakup Girl
