Don’t get obsessed over parting on good terms.

There are unsolvable relationship dynamics. Even if there was some tiny fraction of a chance to solve some relationship issues, they are simply not all worth the time and effort to do it. Don’t get hung up on ending things on a high note or in friendly terms, it’s just too much work sometimes. Learn to block people and move on.

Worry about the ones who come back stalking you, but for the most part parting on good terms is just delaying the inevitable or wasting good time with other people on bad time with someone who you’ll never have anything but bad time with.

It’s often best just to “ghost” a person, to let a relationship go cold if you no longer want it. It creates the feeling of there being a possibility of returning even if there wasn’t, but there are times when you just need to tell them to go fuck themselves and walk away.

Forget about the style points and get out of it. Let people say what they want to say; once you’re good at walking away, you can ditch them, too. Find people who are better suited for you. You absolutely do not need to be friends with everybody you’ve ever known. It’s FINE to have a few people you don’t really see eye-to-eye and still be a good person. Two good people can disagree so badly on some issues that they cannot be friends. It’s fine.

Move on.
