"Just 'cause I love you and you love me, it doesn't mean that we are meant to be."

Love. It sounds simple. Two people meet, fall madly in love and get married. However nothing could be more difficult. And the love isn't enough.

Love alone cannot sustain a marriage, or a relationship. Things occur that cannot be forgiven. Goals and ambition differ. Anxiety or lust force the relationship too fast. There are a million ways.

Love is not enough. Ask anyone who has been divorced. Ask the ones that broke up with their high school sweethearts. Ask anyone whose been cheated on. Love was there, and could still be there, but relying solely on that let them down.

"You broke my heart so I broke your car. You caused me pain so I did the same."

Its not about destruction. Its not about jealousy or rage. Its pain. The girls (and yes, sometimes guys) feel pain and react. Often irrationally. Its not always the car. It can be golf clubs, sneakers, music collections, whatever is cherished most.

Its pain. How dare you walk around when I can barely get out of bed? How can you date while I cry into my pillow at night? How do you walk away when I'm begging you to stay? Its unfair for one person to suffer alone. So they cause pain. It may not be the pain they feel but its pain they caused, even if fleeting. And at the breaking point any pain caused is a victory.
