It’s Over (Again): Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez

Just to remind you how long it’s been since Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have been flipping the light switch on their relationship, it’s been almost two months to the day when they publicly broke up for the first time. TWO MONTHS. I can barely stand to hate-sex someone for more than five minutes, and they found a way to drag it out for two months. Holy crap you guys, I’m giving you both a slow clap for your slow intellect. Well, the good news is that the two of them allegedly broke up for good now, at least until they get back together in two hours. Us Weekly reports …

Although Bieber and the singer-actress, 20, journeyed to Puerta Vallarta, Mexico for a New Year’s trip, their happy holiday was cut short when Gomez abruptly flew home to Los Angeles on Dec. 30. “They had another huge fight, and Selena won’t forgive him,” an insider tells Us Weekly of the perpetually on-again, off-again pair. It certainly seems final this time — with Gomez spending New Year’s Eve at an L.A. house party with pals, while Bieber rang in 2013 with rapper pal Lil Twist at L.A. club Couture, where he flirted with various girls. “He’s been really down about the breakup,” a source admits.

All right, here’s my problem with doing the on-again/off-again thing: Unless there was some sort of hilarious mix-up or understanding, usually there’s a very good reason why you two aren’t dating any more. Flipping the switch back means that you’re willing to overlook that because you’re afraid of being alone, which always ends with one or both parties realizing being alone is so much better than this crap. So seriously, if you break up with someone, do yourself and your ex a favor and just cut the freaking cord!
