Break-Up Can be a Great Relief

Are you afraid of a break-up?

General experience says break-up is painful. Some top writers may think likewise and preach against break-up. People write how much pain they received after a break-up. These are all conventional wisdom.

When you say about "break-ups," you have to consider the particular case. "Break-ups are painful" is a conventional experience. You shouldn't generalize all "break-up" stories.

It would be best to pinpoint what "break-up" you are talking about. Break-up from a friendship, love affair, live-in relationship, marriage, partnership, business collaboration, etc., may have a different perspective entirely.

What is the meaning of a "break-up" and "breaking up?"

As per the English dictionary, "break-up" is the noun form of the verb "break up." The word "break up" may have different meanings in different situations.

It may refer to a "break-up" of a love affair or marriage. For example, say "a girl breaks up with her boyfriend." It may also refer to breaking business partnerships. It may also refer to the "break up" of a lecture class in a college.

Thus, all "break-ups" may not have similar implications. Neither "break-ups" are always bad, nor all "break-ups" gives rise to similar mental sufferings. In exceptional circumstances, a "break-up" may yield some relief.

Sometimes, a "break-up" can be a source of great relief

Generally, people think that breaking up a relationship is a matter of unimaginable mental pain. In most situations, a couple breaking up may always remain with a little bit of mental scar. But, I say it is not always true.

Sometimes, breaking up is the only solution. For example, the break up of a toxic marriage is a great relief to the suffering partners.

• I will give an example from a real-world experience of a "failed" love marriage.

My closest friends were having deep trouble in their marital life. They were not happy due to strong differences in life matters. It was big suffering for both the couple and their extended family members.

The bloody marriage counselor they went for advice charged them huge fees and gave the advice to try saving the relationship! They wasted another five years of suffering.

• If I were their marriage counselor, I would have advised them to get a divorce.

Finally, my friends, i.e., the couple decided to break the toxic marriage. They went for a divorce. Now, both of them are living peaceful and happy life. Both of them have remarried and are now good friends!

Bringing it altogether

No relationship is perfect and permanent. One has to analyze the state and health of a relationship and take decisions accordingly.

• If the relationship is toxic due to significant differences in most life matters, it is better to bid a goodbye to it and get separated.

• Be it a love affair, live-in relationship, marriage, business partnership, or a close acquaintance, never continue if there are big differences between the partners.

Break-ups are a solution to toxic relationships.

Then, break-ups can be a great relief.

Postscript

Life is a journey with friends and relatives. If you don't go quite along with someone, it is better to resolve the differences. If you don't come out with a solution and the differences continue to increase day by day, you may have to break up the relationship.

• It is my thinking. But, I am not always spirited and courageous to do likewise.

What are your preferences towards breaking up?

Who I am

I like art and music.
