Of course it's hard. All of life's irrrevocable decisions are hard. I still remember sitting in my batchelor apartment, two months after I walked out on my first wife, and bawling like a baby. Ididn't even like her any more, and wouldn't have gone back under any consideration, but still, I was sad. It's human nature to mourn whatever you had in that relationship, and to avoid the unpleasantness of a breakup. It can't be sugar-coated. I read once when the French actor Alain Delon moved out on Romy Schneider, he just left a single rose, and a note that said, "Romy, I'm sorry." I told my nurse that one time, and she retorted, "If I'd been her, I'd have hunted him down and killed him." So, there are some good points in letting them have their say. Sorrry that you have to go through it, man.
