Love is one-sided, but the essence of love is a two-way choice. As long as one person in the relationship explicitly chooses to leave, regardless of the reason, the foundation for continuing the relationship has already been lost. Because intimacy is not maintained by one person's persistence, but by both people continuously choosing each other. Therefore, the statement "As long as one person proposes to break up, it means this relationship is no longer suitable" does not mean that the person who proposes the breakup is necessarily correct, but that the relationship itself has lost the mutual willingness to continue. So often, truly mature goodbyes are not: "I don't love you anymore, so I leave." but rather: "I still love you, but I accept that you no longer choose me."
