Relationships: When It's Over, Is It Really Over?
500 Days of Bummer
-Carrie Seim
When exactly is a relationship over?
Is it during the official break-up conversation? When he finally flips his Facebook status back to "single"? During the sorrowful return of his old sweatshirt in exchange for your overnight toothbrush?
Or - if you're brave enough to be honest with yourself - does it really end long before all that?
The other night I watched the new film 500 Days of Summer. As the deep-voiced narrator ominously announces in the opening frames - it's a story about a boy and a girl. But definitely not a love story.

I really want to see it! I think Zooey Deschanel (and her sister Emily) is a marvelous actress.

Really? I thought this movie wouldn't be for me. You really like it?

Great points! People look for the bad too much and make things worse that way. Focus on the good!

I loved the movie...it was nice to get a guy's perspective for a change. Relationships are messy and not all of them get wrapped up with a fairy tale ending. This one makes you realize that we can all fall for the wrong one, but we all have a chance for finding the right one...when we least expect it!! Go see it everyone!

That is SO true! I recently broke up with someone, and I continue to blame myself because of how much I was holding back. He'd just gotten out of a relationship. Guess I should have paid more attention to days 1 to 499.

I guess the moral of the story is to never hold back.
