I found this post to be extremely truthful and honest as to what it truly means to separate ties from a relationship - Its never easy but my theory is if it were truly meant be - it may not be over, however do not hold onto false hopes if you were the one let go.
Also - Regardless of whom decided to break it off - if it was not meant to be - then consider moving on as time saved in a relationship that was going nowhere and preventing you from finding the right person and enjoying love with them
