It doesn't matter how long it lasted, it doesn't matter how much they've gone thru... When a relationship revolve over the same problem too many times... too many times that the scar from within kept bleeding, too many times that causes tears to run dry, too many times that breathing gets harder each time, too many times that the same nitemare recurred in the mind... that's a call for a breakup... A breakup; a decision to end a relationship, is very difficult to put into action, it takes more than just reasoning and courage to do it. But if it's not done with insistance and certainty it'll never work and may resulted in a worst situation. A clean breaking up means to stop whatever form of contact with another party, ignoring calls and meeting up; after the breakup call, no matter how painful or suffocating it is, not sticking to the above rule may just cause yourself to be in greater dilemma. It may cause one to be in the greatest intensity of devastation but it is perhaps the faster way to end a relationsihp. But breaking up doesn't really mean the end of a relationship though. When there's too many things that has occurred, too many memories, short session of break up may gives the two lovers some time to reminisce their past and there after bring them back together, with better understanding, with stronger ties... May those that had such experience of having a relationship revive after a breakup, be blessed with everlasting and undisturb love...
