It was new year's eve, I overheard the couples arguing at the back side of the bus I was riding on my way home to Paranaque. The girl was crying, but with caution that she might be heard, though I can hear her sobs in between her lines. The boy was simply ranting about something I could not understand, but his last words was, "let's separate". At the bus stop, the couple went on separate ways. I saw them heading to different directions.
That was sad. Awful actually. Like a scene from a tragic love story movie.
When relationship turns sour, and couples separate for whatever reason, what would you feel? Mixed emotions and questions of whys of course. Then comes the feeling of sadness, sadness that it ended that way. Then, angry about what have been said if it wasn't true. After that, you'll eventually come to your senses. The love that you still have for the partner that went away is still there, lingering, balancing your thoughts and emotions.
But what if they eventually reunite and said, "Sorry, I didn't meant to say it." Well, it's up to both if a second chance is still worth a try.
My point here is, when you and your partner are in a heated argument, don't ever mention "let's separate or call it quits" unless you really, really mean it and want to end the relationship already. Saying goodbye when you are not that sure will only hurt your partner. The damage is done. Can it still be undone?
The other person would think, you are no longer happy with him/her. Of course, if your partner loves you, he/she will accept your decision because he/she is only thinking of your happiness. What's the point anyway in staying in a relationship, it's happiness, all else comes second.
