Better a dumper than the dumped?

A friend of mine told me that lately, "better a dumper than the dumped". "Why so?", I asked him. "How do you know when she wants to dump you?" "Well, I just know."

The rest of the conversation was just a discussion on how stupid I thought it was. In his desire to act quick just so he doesn't become the dumped, he dumped a girl he's in a perfectly good relationship with. I mean, I'd understand if the writing was on the wall that spelled out the demise of their relationship. But there wasn't. What if it was simply paranoia that kicked in? Or what if it was the green-eyed monster that reared its ugly head?

Before dumping someone, make sure you're reading the signs correctly. You wouldn't want to lose a good relationship based on assumptions, guesses and what-have-yous that have no basis in reality.
