Relationships are meant to last a life time, but unfortunately, sometimes they don't.
Of a truth, relationships are meant to last a life time, but unfortunately, sometimes they don’t. For one reason or another, a relationship may break-up. It is better when this happens at the formative stages (dating), because at this stage deep commitments may not have been made nor real intimacy built. However, at any stage a relationship suffers breakage; someone suffers emotional pains and torture. But your life must continue. This is very important. I have someone who almost lost her mind because she was jilted, the man that promised to marry her, woke up one afternoon and called off the engagement. And she saw it to mean the end of the world. It took psychiatric doctors to restore her to normalcy. That was absolutely unnecessary...
