Relationship Phrasal Verbs
I was reading online about a relationship that recently fell apart. This
couple got on really well together for years and had decided to settle
down and bring up a family. They had got together years ago when they
fell for each other in college and this seemed like the next step in their
relationship. No sooner had they settled down did things start breaking
down. They would fall out with each other all the time and then make
up. This was a pattern they couldn’t break out of. Eventually they
finished with each other when one of them walked out. It’s a shame
that they split up.
