I found this strangers again first at izuan's blog, and I am amused with it. This is one of the reasons why I consider relationship as a very serious matter. Breaking up is a painful stage in every relationship. Ok, I may generalize, but I really think that someone will be hurt at this stage. But for me, the last stage where two people become strangers again is the stage that I don't want to go through. It is just a pain to see someone whom once my lover did not talk to me or maybe even worse, did not even glance at me. Not that I have ever felt it. I did not even go through the second stage yet. Haha. Still, I know the feeling when a friend, a very close one, ignore me. It is really painful.
For me, a relationship should end with a marriage. People may say that we should first have the experience of being in a relationship before we take thing seriously. But, I still think that we should not toy with others' hearts. Why bother to have a relationship if we never have an intention of ending it with a marriage? One more thing, isn't it awkward to meet your ex, knowing so much details about him or her, but still cannot even utter a single word to him or her?
