Dear Maitri,

Sorry, dear, but once people throw in the towel, it means one or both of them have given up.

One in Ten Million

And then only after 20 years.

It is rare when you hear about a relationship being successful after that – I personally know NO ONE who has done it, but I'm sure it happens, like one in ten million or so.

The thing is, you are undoubtedly asking this question either for yourself, a friend, or your parents – why else would you bother?

Too Much History

If it is for your parents, the answer is, NO, they have too much history and that is governing their decision to leave each other.

Move On

I disagree. Can't they get the feelings back?

If it is for yourself, the answer is, YOU ARE SO YOUNG, don't throw yourself away hoping and wishing that he (or she) will come back to you. Move on.

If it is for a friend, the answer is the same.

Get a Life

And if it is simply a hypothetical, philosophical question, get a life, dear! Don't worry about that kind of stuff; LIVE!!!!
