Adam Carolla sidekick and occasional L.A. Times contributor Teresa Strasser elaborates in her Jewish Journal Singles column about a recent stormy break-up — which I guess makes her single again, so should give her more material for the column at least.

"I am now six weeks past a second faux break-up and mini-reconciliation and into the real Break Up." she writes. "The talking, texting and doomed plans are all behind me. It's over, and I knew it would be, but I loved the guy, and after almost three years we were intertwined (think Nestle 100 Grand Bar), so I did the human thing and sunk my teeth into a few squares of denial and pain postponement. I don't have a new boyfriend or any new addictions, I'm just feeling sad now like I'm supposed to, and that's the best idea, as far as I know.

"My friend Cammy says if you don't feel ripped up after a break up, if you don't try some idiotic plan to make it work again, you didn't do the relationship right. If you don't hurt, your heart wasn't in it and that's why you can walk away neatly with your half of the Almond Joy, leaving nary a crumb on the floor. All these candy bar metaphors, while hopefully evocative, have made me hungry."
