So, after seeing the process up til this stage, do u realise 2 things?

1) 6 results of "apologize" leaded to positive developments.
2) both girlfriend & boyfriend had 3 & more chances to choose a result that would lead to "this is what love is all about".

Often time in life, we lose ourselves in the midst of stress, greed, jealousy, hatred, etc. This leads us to act selfishly & think of only ourselves. No one is perfect, we all have such moments. It is the effort to realise & admit these wrongs that we're able to improve.

And as you can see from this scenario, a break up is only possible when both sides persist actions that they only think of themselves first. Love is to think of the other party first & yourself second. If all lovers can face their imperfect selves & always strive to be selfless, the world can definitely become a better place.
