Do you think there is a difference?

Question

I just saw a quote talking about relationships, and it said: "We never really ended, we just fell apart."

Do you think there's a difference between ending and falling apart? Can you explain this? I choose best answer!

Answer 1

I think it means that ending it has some resolution.  Maybe someone cheated & it was just OVER or maybe they both decided to end it & were both ready to move on.

Falling apart I would think is like moving on because you just couldn't deal or couldn't make it work but still wanted to.  Lots of loose threads.

Answer 2

Usually when two people fall apart..., they end. There is a difference that keeps then from being..., after that..., theres nothing to do but end.

Answer 3

Ending is a closure, falling apart is when they like each other but just drift apart and never really "end" the relationship.
