Break Up

A relationship breakup, or simply just breakup,[1] is the termination of a relationship by any means other than death. The act is commonly termed "dumping [someone]" in slang when it is initiated by one partner.[2][3][4][5] The term is less likely to be applied to a married couple, where a breakup is typically called a separation or divorce. When a couple engaged to be married breaks up, it is typically called a "broken engagement"
