Personal relationships and properly ending them Upasaka Karl mentioned in an answer:

Relationships have a beginning. And because they have a beginning, they also have an end. Thoughtless endings, ghosting and worse, hurt both parties. It is sad to treat each other like an Amazon shopping experience. We become each other's dismissable clickbait. Yet perhaps a thoughtless ending was matched by a thoughtless beginning. Perhaps we can consider and nurture relationships that matter.


Isn't it merely the case that personal relationships never really end, that some of the debts remain forever? That one actually stays bonded forever, even after ending of a relationship...

What are the valid reasons for ending a personal relationship?

How to end a relationship properly?

Which (as it were) &quot;relationship&quot; can't be ended, once gotten into?

What's the effect of denying being in a personal relationship and consuming outside of it, thinking &quot;I am free&quot; or &quot;this is my right&quot;?


[Note that this isn't given for stacks, exchange, other worldbinding trades and relation-misuse but to escape toward]
Personal (&quot;sexual&quot;) relationship is a fiction, a hallucination. To paraphrase my Zen master, what worldly people call &quot;love&quot; is an obsession, a disease of the mind. Ownership of people is slavery and so is the owning relationships between people.
As said in the prophecy of Maitreya in the Maitreyavyākaraṇa:

[Gods, people, and other sentient beings] will lose their doubts, and the torrents of their cravings will be cut off: free from all misery they will manage to cross the ocean of becoming; and, as a result of Maitreya's teachings, they will lead a holy life. No longer will they regard anything as their own, they will have no possession, no gold or silver, no home, no relatives! But they will lead the holy life of oneness under Maitreya's guidance.
