500 Days of SummerWhen 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.

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.

The aspect of holding back, and giving your all is very tricky in a relationship. It seems like the small things looks so small while the opposite is true for the big things. Im so bitter sweet since my relationship is driving me crazy! It seems trivial but you know what Ill see how it turns out
