ARE YOU BEING FIZZLED OUT?

Nobody enjoys breaking up. Whether you’re initiating the break-up or are at the receiving end of one, it never feels good – especially the aftermath of it, when you seem to have lost all connection between your partner and yourself. You are still you, but not you at all. Still, a break-up offers everyone involved closure and the opportunity to move on, which is, unfortunately, not the case when it comes to the dating trend fizzling.
