breaking up
Most romantic relationships end, and that's okay. From each relationship we're in, we can learn more about ourselves, about how to be a good partner, and about what we want in a partner.​ When a romantic relationship ends, it's okay to take time to feel sad and grieve the loss of that relationship. With time, you'll feel better.
