Dating Breakups

I would just like to express one opinion about dating and relationships, and things like that.

We have gotten to the point where the end of a relationship is a contest. The one who does the breaking up is considered as the "winner" of the relationship, and the one who gets broken up with is the "loser".

This is wrong. It is just a reflection of how nasty our values are in general. If I was going to go through a breakup I would much prefer for her to break up with me. I just couldn't stand to hurt a nice girl's feelings.
