Breaking Up
Relationship breakup is the ending of a relationship whether it's a friendship or romantic relationship. There are several reasons that a relationship may come to an end. One reason derives from the equity theory. If a person in the relationship feels that the personal costs of being in the relationship outweigh the rewards there is a strong chance that he/she will end the relationship. Break ups may also occur when the rewards outweigh costs due to guilt and shame.

Is leaning cheek to cheek? Is meeting noses?

Of laughter with a sigh?—a note infallible
Of breaking honesty.”

Thy table in our heart.”
