Why do people always think "there's a silver lining in every ordeal we come across?"

How do you apply this in break-ups? Why do people always say "Look at the bright side of the break-up"? What's the bright side of it?

A reader, anonymous, writes (26 March 2010):

The bright side is finding out that your ex had a friend of his drive his car into his garage door because he blamed him for cheating with his wife and her asking for a divorce one month after he moved out from your house.

That could have been my garage door damn it and I own my house, he just rents!

It's not being in a relationship with a man who is addicted to drama and often creates it just for sport by egging on the wrong people. He used to be friends with both parts of the couple and if he really "did" that 250 lb balding woman then eeeewwwww. Either way he picks unstable often losers for friends, he thinks they are funny, I just think they are a pain in the ass.

Q can you direct a plane over South West Missouri and drop some of that blue ice from the toilet on my ex,,,,,thanks.

_Katy_Did_ agony auntI dumped my idiot of an ex and found someone WAY better. He doesn't treat me like crap like my old boyfriend and I'm much happier now. Did I mention he's also on hardcore drugs and deals them as well? Breaking up with him was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Carrot2000 agony auntMy ex-boyfriend was arrested two days ago for setting his wife on fire in front of their kids. If I'd stayed with that fool, that easily could have been me.

Not being on fire is the bright side of a break-up.

Being free to find someone who is a better fit for you and not a demented arsonist is the bright side of a break-up.

Being free to find someone who will love and respect you the way you deserve is the bright side of a breakup.

EbonyBlossom agony auntFor a start, it means you're free to find someone better, which is the most important bit. All relationships end for a reason, and you won't have to worry about whatever caused the problem.

On a less serious note, it means you can do whatever you want and not have to worry if your partner will mind or not =]

Honeypie agony auntThe bright side is that you are no longer in a relationship that didn't really work.

The bright side is HE/SHE wasn't the last of the opposite sex out there.

The bright side is LIFE does go on.

The bright side is maybe the BOTH of you will now be able to find happiness. Eventually.
