It's certainly one of the hardest things to do. So i guess it makes sense that there is a market for it.

why pay for a service when a friend can do it for free?

in any case the act of having a 3rd party do your dirty work for you lacks sensitivity imho

The REAL Napster

Yet another example of people shirking their own reponsiblilty. That's the other part of a relationship, breaking it off gracefully and tactfully. If you can't handle this part, what makes you think you can handle ANY relationship? I guess that's another reason the divorce rate is so high these days, people don't have a clue to start with.
