Shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half a sorrow.
~Swedish Proverb
Relationships demands sacrifices. Both the partners sacrifice to make the relationship work. Then there is compromise. Many relationships destroy person’s desires. Partners have to give up lots of freedom. I may have sacrificed a lot, but should it also go unnoticed? I will definitely feel used after that.
Then there is Emotional Distance. It occurs when you no longer connect with your partner on an emotional or maybe intellectual level. It happens when your partner just isn’t “there” somehow, when you no longer connect with your partner. You feel like you’re talking to and sharing your honest feelings with a WALL. When your partner offers a response, it’s remote, guarded, lacking in intimacy – perhaps because of a fear of intimacy. Intimate partners develop certain defense mechanisms to protect feelings and protect themselves from pain in intimate relationships.
That is ME and CHOJI. We are not PERFECT and have a lot to LEARN.

Not only will this break-up not kill you, but it may be the best thing that ever happened to you. The pain of a break-up can push you into a world of magic, of release and of healing that you otherwise might not have entered. And even though you may think that your ex is the be-all, of your life, undoubtedly there is more love, even better love right around the corner and a great life ahead.
