Failed relationships can be described as so much wasted makeup. Forget the laughs, forget the fights, forget the sex, forget the jealousy. But take off your hat and observe a moment's silence for the legions of unknown tubes of foundation, mascara, eyeliner, blusher and lipstick who died that it might all have been possible. But who died in vain. Marian Keyes
About This Quote

In a relationship, when a person makes a mistake, the other person is expected to react in a way that is both positive and forgiving. For example, if you accidentally broke something, you should apologize and make things right. But when it comes to your partner, you should do much more than that. In fact, it has been suggested that in order for a relationship to be healthy, both parties must show their love and respect for one another even when they are wrong. It is this idea that has led some to assume that failed relationships can be described as so much wasted makeup.
