...we should face the hard aspects of our relationships and recoveries.
I agree I am by no means a proponent of the 'Ostrich Policy'. Repression can lead to depression or worse problems down the road.
most of these are internet buzzwords... ...confuse more than help bring understanding.
Well said -I completely agree. Kids today and their fancy interwebs jargon... Get off my lawn...
"discard" is often a term used to describe something that was inevitable, that we had no role in, and in a way that over pathologizes a breakup.
For me
discard does not have an implication of speed or abruptness. I favor poleaxed. For me poleaxed has always had the connotation of being dealt a single swift and mortal blow. Maybe excised? I remember when she said 'We have nothing more to talk about' I literally could not believe my ears... Poleaxed
Anyway... a rose by any other name... Simply awful no matter what you call. Finding a relationship to be very suddenly and out of the blue lying on its side burning in a pile of rubble -it is mind snapping.
