In [[psychology]], there are several models that attempt to explain and account for the trajectory of the '''breakup of a relationship'''.

First is the four-phase model as proposed by Duck in 1982. According to Duck, there are four phases involved in the dissolution of a [[personal relationship]] (1982, as cited in Battaglia 1998): intrapsychic, dyadic, social and grave-dressing. Intrapsycic phase is referred to individual's private appraisal or evaluation of or deliberation about the relationship in terms of its quality and alternatives. WhenThe dyadic phase begins when these thoughts become public,. In the dyadic phase begins when, partners shift back and forth from resolution to dissolution: a process of figuring out whether their problems can be solved by maintaining the relationship. Dyadic phase is normally followed by the social phase when couples acknowledge the social repercussions for separating. The final phase, grave dressing, involves a more optismistic, and what seems to be a more objective, evaluation and remembrance.
