That is both truth for friendship and love relationship, altough in love relationships is always harder to let go. This quote makes me remind of a talk i was having with a friend yesterday that she was telling me she is happier when her husband is travelling because then there are no discussions because he is far away and i told her so why don't you get a divorce but she replied that she didn't want to be left alone...its quite hard sometimes to let go off people. :/
