Breaking up is something common that happens to almost everyone, especially in an increasingly individualized society.
It usually involves negative emotions depending on the intensity of the relationship. Sometimes it leads to a better outcome for the person, but more often than not during the adjustment phase people may find themselves in miserable conditions.
According to Duck, there are four phases involved in relationship dissolution: intrapsychic, diadic, social and grave-dressing. Intrapsycic is referred to individual's private appraisal of the relationship in terms of its quality and alternatives. When these thoughts become public, the dyadic phase begins when partners shift back and forth from ressolution to dissolution. Followed by the social phase when couples acknowledge the social repercussions for seperating.
