Is breaking up hard to do ?

This is a public information announcement for all you lovesick Bloggers ! Judging by the number of poems you guys post in your blogs there seems like a fair few of you out there.... (LOL)

This relationship break up formula will now be discussed at length:

Frequency of interaction x Geographic proximity to each other x Emotional investment = difficulty/ease of closure.

Or

FI x GP x EI

Professor Spheric now proceeds to put on a white coat (and white hair wig) and adopt an Einsteinesque persona whilst narrating in a Bavarian-Hannoverian accent:

I vill explain zee formulaic variables above as such. In each case 1 represents the highest difficulty of closure and zero being the easiest:

Frequency of interaction = This is zee the number of times two courting individuals have seen each other in a specified period of time. If you see each other above a certain number of times, then psychologically it starts becomes a part of your personal time schedule. Zee higher the frequency, zee harder it is to break off.

Geographic proximity = Never a truer adage spoken than out of sight out of mind. It is much harder to get closure if two ppl are living very close to each other, as zee probability increases of bumping into each other.

Emotional investment = how much did you invest in that person during the period of the relationship ? If you were relatively independent of each other, and your daily thought processes were not coloured by the presence of that significant other, then it vill be easier to seek closure. If on the hand you could not make a decision without that person and your social status and acceptability was linked to that person, then it vill be harder.

Thus, in the example of a very close couple who have been with each other a long time and live near each other it vill look something like:

0.9 x 0.9 x 0.9 = 0.729 - high difficulty of closure - you will cry and spend all day listening to the catwailing of Naseebo Lal.

For a casual couple it may look something like:

0.6 x 0.7 x 0.4 = 0.168 - easy to get closure...time to open that bottle of Captain Morgan and mark another notch on that bedpost. :)

You have to assign your subjective variable values in zee formula based on how you perceive the relationship.
