10 Essential Relationship Tips We Learned From Superheroes

7. Go To Space To Avoid A Break Up

Sometimes people just need some space, and sometimes people just need to go to space. Perhaps best exemplified in the Superman Returns movie, but nonetheless a tried-and-tested method in comic books too, if you're starting to feel suffocated by your relationship and feel like you kind of, sort of want to end it but also the prospect of actually dumping somebody is just beyond the pale, you can always just disappear from the universe for a while. That sends a pretty powerful message. If they don't get it from that, well, we're all out of ideas. Of course, there's every chance that whilst you're on your intergalactic voyage of self-discovery and responsibility-fleeing you may realise that you actually like this person after all, in which case you should get home toot sweet to make sure they haven't already moved on. You could always carve a romantic message into the Moon for them as a precautionary measure before you leave, too. This one's a little easier if you're actually Superman but if you've got the money, private galactic travel companies like Space X could accommodate you.
