Maybe he was thinking of "We're the Replacements" by They Might Be Giants instead yet The Leftovers just coincidentally happened to be a TV show, thus making him think he was right even though while he technically was, he wasn't correct about the thing to which it was an unintentional reference.
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.My head hurts.
No, it wasn't the full sentence that made me think of the show; it was just "...the leftovers".

This is a signature.So i'm back here again... hey
The reasons keep piling up.
simple as-eats the doughnuts, ignores the coffee-
This doesn't mean i've given up on relationships.
But ultimately this one wasn't going to work if the love fades completely after 2 months. but it was a learning experience and im a better person for it
@Nova: Sorry to hear that. I know how it feels (well not exactly, but for the most part), and I'm here if you need someone to talk to.

See, Kesa.... the thing is, i was kind of the dumper, and not the dumpee...
So i feel kind of guilty about it.
You shouldn't feel bad about that unless you were needlessly abrasive about the break up. It might not have felt good to do it, but it's better than stringing her along for a while and letting her get attached even more; that would've been even more painful for her. And that's from experience on the receiving end on my part.
I did it as gently as possible. And she seems fine with being friends.
It's just, to her i'm "the one" and i used to feel that way but once the infatuation faded, there were no real feelings there....
I need more substance next time, in my own feelings, not hers. Hers seem genuine, moreso than mine

Meanwhile, I'm someone who has no idea how any of this feels because he's never done it.
simple asThat legitimately sounds like how I took my breakup, and trust me when I say that she will get better. It will take her time to get there, certainly, and it'll hurt like hell until then, but she will get better.
If the breakup needed to happen, it needed to happen. No need to feel bad about getting yourself out of a stagnant and mediocre relationship.
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.I concur with all this (well 'cept for Moot...lucky bastard)
What they're saying. My last relationship was unbelievably toxic and I had to end it for my emotional wellbeing because it was just eating me up. Trust me, if a relationship makes you feel awful and makes you long for being single, you need to end it before you get sucked in even further.

I know I certainly felt better when I got out of the relationship I had in high school.
I mean, I felt worse when I'd found out she got another boyfriend relatively quickly, especially considering she was even more socially stunted than I was, but, y'know, whatever. I'm too cool for that. See? Look at my shades. note Cooool.

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.I never had those kind of relationships in high school or pretty much...ever. I'm still less than 20 with plenty of other things to worry about, I'm in no rush.
Living The Fever DreamSo...
I just watched Gone Girl, and I don't think I ever want to leave here. I wanna stay here forever, guys...
I do want to get into a relationship, but I'm too much of a coward to ask anyone out.
Lawful guys should stay at home and play Atlus games. I hear they're awesome!x2 What? You don't want to end up marrying That Cunt?

That my post was unknowingly a reference to a tv show I didn't know about.
