How To Stop A Break-Up From Becoming A Breakdown.

We want our ex’s to feel our pain, know our ache, and die a thousand deaths with us -- but they don’t. We want them to come back to us, admit their decision was a mistake -- but they won’t. We long for them to make one last gesture in recognition of our broken ego, broken heart and our broken ...
