Broken Relationships & What That Entails I come across relationship issues very often. Every relationship that a human being has, be it with their parents, siblings, peers, partner or in a social setting is bound to have a rift at some part of their life. This is a vital part of life, but we tend to emphasize it much more than necessary. Of course, your relationship deserves importance but your heartbreak doesn't. A broken relationship literally means that certain things are supposed to change for the betterment.
