Think back over your relationships that ended.
Some of them ended on a night when you were intimate. Perhaps it was the night you were the most intimate of all. In some of those cases you were to never see them again and eventually lost contact. While at the time these events can seem almost tragic (assuming you didn't want it to end), in hindsight, when you look back over your life and remember the women you dated, those ones will stand out the best. The reason is that our brains recall things based on the most recent interaction. It's like how the most recent email in the queue will be on top. They, too will remember you on that high note, even if they pushed you away at the time.
Compare this to the relationships where you tried to hold on and it slipped away slowly, or maybe dissolved to the point where she emailed all in capitals DO NOT CONTACT ME AGAIN. Those relationships, even if they achieved higher highs previously, will always be remembered on a sour note.
Thus, it occurred to me that all relationships would ideally end on a high note, even if it means cutting all ties in a cruel way.
