Other than simply cutting a woman off, do men usually properly tell her when they’re ending things with her?

I’ll answer too—Maezawa from the President’s Office. I don’t think someone who actually gets bored would stay in a relationship for a whole year in the first place. They probably want to meet lots of different women. I’m not sure whether ending things after a year is particularly common, but I feel it’s less about getting bored and more about meeting more and more new women until they realize they can’t manage any more simultaneous relationships, so they start cutting back. Of course, everyone wants the other person to properly say goodbye if that’s the case. But I also think it can be difficult to go through exchanges like, “I don’t want to break up,” or “I’ll fix whatever I’m doing wrong.”

I’m Dai, a male member. Even if I get bored, I sometimes feel like seeing her again after a while, so unless there’s a particular issue, I’ve never told a woman that I wanted to end things. On the other hand, if she negotiates for a higher allowance and I decide I want to end the arrangement, I tell her clearly and properly.

I’m Osaka, a male member. If you’ve been seeing each other for a while, I think it’s a good idea to agree on how you’d like things to end. A relationship can come to an unexpected end—if his wife finds out, or because of illness or an accident—without either of you wanting it to and without even being able to get in touch. I recommend talking about it while you still can and while things are going well. That way, the time you do get to spend together may feel more meaningful, and knowing that today could be your last might even change how you enjoy it. Apparently, this is also one of the effects of planning for the end of one’s life, which is why more people are thinking about it. P.S. This may be meaningless unless you’re truly with someone you both enjoy seeing, though. (T_T)
