Different kinds of heartbreak usually accompany a relationship breakup. At times, your relationship might be intact but still, you experience some kind of heartbreak. It is normal. Heartbreak is an experience you can’t escape in a relationship whether you like it or not. Some call it inevitable but I see it as a natural occurrence.Â
