And that is the reason when someone goes through a break up it is devastating. A break up ruins your mindset, lowers your self-worth, gets you into depression and makes you bitter and sad.

A break up when mutual hardly matters as both mutually agree to it and decide to move on in life but when the break up is done because either one of the partners does not wish to continue with the relationship anymore, it is very hurting.
