Charles Trenet – What remains of our love?
Rupture: n.f. 4. The act of breaking off relationships; separation. Break-up scene. (Le Petit Larousse Illustré, 2006).
Before, long before Facebook (since it’s become as important a date as Year 1), we used to wonder if leaving someone by text was something morally correct. The debate was opened between friends, and everyone had their own opinion. We were even thinking about potential goodbye sms: “I don’t love you anymore so I’m leaving you” (the effective cause and effect relationship), or “I’ve tried everything but I can’t get over my ex” (sms-star of the lies category), or “You’re too good for me, you’re wasting yourself on me” (the pretending game which consists in giving weight to the other person to better relieve oneself of it)
When we refused by excess of morality and greatness of soul the sending of the fatal sms, we still had some options, certainly less fast, more classic, but always effective.
Option A: Silence.
A deep silence that ineluctably caused the transition from a 2 to a 1 voice relationship. And strangely enough – believe it or not – someone who talks alone always ends up ceasing all chatter most of the time.
Option B: The third party.
This person only intervenes in order to help the character wanting to leave by abusively flirting with the character wanting to stay. When the love triangle is finally formed, or simply when an accusation (even a false one based on a crude scheme) can be made, normally the break-up can be both declared and considered fair in the eyes of all.
Option C: The “I need to talk to you”.
Often sent by sms, but braver gesture, since it ends up most of the time in a rather creepy bar/cafe/resto (near a suburban train station or in a shopping center). Generally, the synopsis is that at the end of the meeting, transformed into an individual evaluation interview, there is only one person left at the table. (Depending on the degree of courage, hunger, or thirst, the person left behind is not necessarily the one left behind).
Needless to say, there are many other options, each more distinguished and distinguished than the last.
The good news is that today there is no need to worry about how to leave him/her, because a website was born: JETEQUITTE.COM
A few random examples:
1 : March 22, 2010, Anna leaves Aurélien
“My pink flamingo, please know that I never put up with your passions for musicals, and dolphins. I can’t stand the tap dancing you do in the living room all day long either. I’m leaving you and you can keep this good mood and this constant kindness that makes me vomit today. You were a wonderful moment in my life and I will not forget it. Kisses my breaded chicken.
PS: You will return my toothbrush and hair straightener.”
2: April 2, 2010, Louise leaves Etienne
“Darling, we met on adopteunmec, I said to myself “well I’m going to dump her on jetequitte”… It was good, at the beginning, through a computer screen, I didn’t have the smell, nor the buddies… It hides the buttons also the webcam. But the worst was the day I went to pick you up after school… Damn, I felt like I was looking for my little brother. Your seal breath, your taste for metal, your rock band… Your rock band… No. Prince Charming does not exist. Definitely.
Go find one your own age, it will probably go down better.
Linca, man.”
Among the options, the deep silence, it is now that I choose it, still it remains to know here if it is a rupture.
Rupture: n.f. 1. To break under the effect of a shock. Dike failure. (Le Petit Larousse Illustré, 2006).
