While dating can already be tough enough, when things don’t go well in a relationship and you have to say goodbye, for better or for worse, it certainly is never easy. Whether you’ve been together for just a couple of weeks or for several years, saying goodbye to someone that you have given your heart and love to can be the worst.

There are plenty of songs and quotes out there that will put it all out there.
