There are going to be times when you wish you could just get back together. Break ups are NOT easy...in fact they're pretty fucking hard. So many people aren't strong enough to deal with them, and they end up doing the easy thing by getting back together.

I guess SOME cases may end in a reconciliation, but I doubt that many SHOULD.
