Breaking up a Relationship.
Relationships are beautiful if they are good. Some relationships last forever, and that’s the kind of relationship that everyone would like to have, but sometimes two people are just not compatible, and then it’s time to move on.

It’s Not Working Out.
Alice : Shane. We need to talk.
Shane : Sure. What is this about?
Alice : It’s about us.
Shane : What about us Alice?
Alice : Well Shane, we’ve been together for 3 months, but I feel it’s not working out.
Shane : Oh. I knew this was coming. What do you want to do?
Alice : I think we should stop seeing each other Shane, I don’t think you reciprocate my feelings anyway.
Shane : Maybe you are right Alice. I’ve been feeling that we’re trying to force this relationship upon ourselves.
Alice : I guess it’s best for both of us to move on.
I Caught You!
Rick : Monica, I want to ask you something.
Monica : Sure Rick! What’s up?
Rick : I saw you last night at the club dancing with Ricardo, and you had told me you were staying home because your mother was ill.
Monica : Oh no! Were you at the club too?
Rick : Yeah. I went there to get a drink with my fellows.
Monica : Wait Rick! I can explain this.
Rick : I don’t want any explanations. We have to part ways now. Just don’t call me anymore.
Monica : Rick don’t do this!
Sharing with Others.
Cameron : What happened? Why do you look so sad?
Monica : Rick broke up with me. I’m devastated.
Cameron : What? Why did he do something like that? He’s a nice guy!
Monica : Well, I went dancing with Ricardo this Saturday and he saw me. I had told him my mom was ill and I was staying home.
Cameron : Why did you do that you silly woman? I think you deserved it then!
Monica : Well, Ricardo asked me out, and you know I’ve fancied him ever since high school. I couldn’t say no.
Cameron : I’m afraid you definitely deserved what you got. That was a stupid thing to do.
Monica : I know. I am so sorry.
Cameron : Girl… It’s done now, but maybe you’ll be happier with Ricardo.
Monica : Yeah. I hope so.
Time to Get Over It.
Cameron : What’s wrong with you? Why do you always look so messed up?
Rita : How am I supposed to behave after breaking up a 5-year-long relationship?
Cameron : It was your decision and you need to cope up with it as soon as you can. It should not disrupt your life.
Rita : I’m trying to. I just need some time.
Cameron : You broke up with him 3 months ago Rita. It’s really time to get over it.
Rita: I think you’re right!
