On the occasion of my parents' 50th Wedding Anniversary it's no surprise to realise that relationships are seldom lasting that long these days. What will be a surprise is that if you're in Berlin, and wanting to end a relationship, you can engage the services of one Bernd Dressler, who will deliver the message that "it's over" to your not-so-anymore-loved one. The service will cost you 50 euros - and as he told the Berliner Morgenpost newspaper (as reported by Reuters) he's ended 200 relationships in the last 11 months. Breaking the bad news only takes about three minutes and often leaves the message recipients in a state of shock, said Dressler, a trained economist. People wanting to dump their partners in person can make use of coaching sessions given by Dressler, who also offers help for those wanting to save their relationships or apologize for going astray.
So what ever happened to breaking up by text message?
