Well, to be fair, I had the clean break done *to* me by a past boyfriend, and I effing HATED it at the time... but it unquestionably made things a lot more clear (and less painful) in the long run. And then I stretched out the clean break just a little too long on another relationship, and learned my lesson promptly and chopped it as quickly as possible. Luckily, the next guy I met was ktspktsp, and have never even come close to having to think about breaking anything cleanly (or dirtily), except maybe some furniture during sex.
In my experience, both personal and observed (with too many friends who were afraid to do/go through the clean break), NO GOOD comes out of drawing it out. No good whatsoever. Every day that you stay in a bad relationship out of fear of ending it or hurting the other person, you're at least doubling the intensity of future pain... so look at it mathematically. It's not worth drawing it out. END IT.
Is "dirtily" a word?
