relationship's over when men say so, but not when women does?

Indeed the author may have written it on the basis that women tend to change their minds easily and also when they get upset they always burst out what they feel and say or do things that they don't really mean while on the other hand guys tend to wait things out and calculate before the act. But if you ask me if someone in the relationship says its over and after a night they still won't talk about it and still insists that it is over then the probability of it being over is really high. Its obvious that if one of the party members doesn't want to talk then the relationship ends there.

I agree with the author there for my experiences. I found it very difficult to leave the men I was with. If I dumped them they tried really hard to come back and I would forgive and hope they would change. When I break off with them they don't just leave me alone. They are calling and showing up at my house and stuff. If a man broke off with me I would not be calling or showing up at their house so it would just end without a fight.

I think that it works and doesn't work both ways. A man can say it is over and then can come back begging for another try. A woman can do the same. I think matters of the heart are all different. I dont think it really ever works once the couple has started this on again off again cycle it is hard to brake.
