The essence of relationships—have you noticed that the beginning of a relationship always comes from interaction between both parties? It takes both you and me engaging with each other for the relationship to form. However, ending a relationship often only requires one party to terminate it. As soon as one person declares they no longer want the relationship, it ends. So for those relationships that cause you pain, confusion, distress, or prolonged emotional drain, as soon as you decide one day that you no longer wish to maintain it, and you choose to let go, then that relationship can come to an end.
