Piper Riley Thompson jokes that she hard-launched her relationship on social media with her breakup. She was getting ready to make a cross-country move for a dream job (which was part of the reason for her breakup), so seven weeks before she was set to leave, she and her then-partner decided they would go their separate ways—but not before scheduling a breakup weekend. They created a shared Note and filled it with their favorite restaurants, places and people they wanted to see, and things they wanted to do together. They called it their goodbye tour.
They went on their breakup trip two weeks before Piper's move, treating it like a regular weekend getaway except with intentional conversations about their uncoupling, what it would look like, what they wanted from each other, how they planned to communicate (if at all), what they hoped for each other, and how they envisioned their healing.
While the two had hoped to stay together, they knew they ultimately wanted different things. "So we chose to love each other in a different way," Piper says, "which was to say goodbye."
