In relationships, you never know what's going to happen next. Before you know something bad's gonna happen that would lead to break-ups. How should one feel about the break up? Should you smile or cry?

Hi there Sundown, Well, there is no way to know how things are going to turn out when you get into a relationship with someone. If you don't try well, you'll never know. You kind of have to go into it with no expectations and enjoy it while its good and with an ounce of luck, it'll stay good for a long, long, long time. I'll give you an example of a guy that I love to pieces and have on and off seen over the course of several years. Once when we were breaking it off, I started crying. He held me and said, " You make this so hard for me. I wish you wouldn't cry." I thought about it and said, " What would the point be in any of this be if I weren't sad over losing you?". Of course I was sad. He was always blatantly honest with me as I was with him and I respected that. In time, I could look back and smile at the memories but at first, yes...I was real sad that it ended and yes...glad that it happened. I would not take back one moment of all the many good times in trade for that moment of sadness. In our case ...many as we tend to go back and forth and never quite get it right.

It is kind of hard for me to predict as until I have the break up and or the reason behing the break up I may do one or the other. Based on my past break ups I was quite sad and shed tears at that, but looking back on them now, so glad they are over as they were a burden at the time.
