Love is Like Ebony and Ivory
Loving relationships is like ebony and ivory in most cases. Relationships are hard work for everybody involved; we struggle at times to fathom things as well as struggling to find a happy medium. But when relationships end it is in most cases contrasting stories for both involved.
One half of the relationship is happy and relieved that it is all over, whilst the other half is dejected and rejected. It really is the epitome of ebony and ivory in terms of how the end of a relationship affects two halves.
You see for one half of the relationship it is the beginning of the end of their struggle with finding their happy medium. They are ready to give up and growing increasingly tired of the same old tales coming up over and over again. Given that in most cases there are no quick break ups it can seem important to the one doing the breaking up to get out.
But for the other half of the relationship it can be increasingly stressful. They are not ready to give up on a relationship that they still see a future in. They believe there is still every chance that they will be able to resurrect the relationship into the one it used to be. At times it can seem that the beginning of a relationship is the best part. There are no problems; no real emotional attachments and you let the other one do their own thing.
If you believe the relationship is worth saving, it can be an incredibly painful thing to find out that your other half doesn't think it is worth saving. Sometimes both of you feel the relationship is worth saving and that is great but there is normally a problem with just one half of the relationship and as a result it is harder for one side than it is the other.
This will then lead to the rejected side of the relationship working hard to try and get it back. But as their struggle becomes more intense, so does the resistance of the other half. This sequence continues until a breaking point is reached whereby one half will give in eventually.
Space is what is needed in this instance, for both sides to work out exactly what is needed to get their lives back on track. But at most times the opposite happens and life is a struggle.
