### Instruction: Why is breaking up so hard to do?
### Response: Being in a relationship always has ups and downs, but ending a relationship is one of the hardest things humans do because we often feel the loss of hope and uncertainty about the future. We become familiar with having a person in our lives and they often feel like a safety net, so losing that sense of safety is scary. Ultimately, we have to do what is best for our own well being and move on. One might find comfort on spending time with friends and family and a strong support network during this difficult time.
