* Ending a relationship of forbidden love by mutual agreement, recognizing that loyalty to their Pride is more important than their love. (Valido and Azra) 
* One of the lions leave the Pride. (Kuzimu and Azola)
* Disappointment in their mate's actions or behavior. (Thando and Sarafura)
== Restrictions ==
