A breakup is seldom a pleasant experience, but almost everyone will have this event happen at least once in their life. When a couple goes through a breakup it can be a mutual decision, or one side may no longer want to be in the relationship while the other side can not seem to let go and move on. It is often said that the riskiest time for a person is during a breakup, especially if there has been any domestic violence in the relationship, because emotions tend to run high during this period.
