Interpersonal relationships, particularly intimate relationships, are important for people in general and university students in particular.Intimate romantic relationship break-ups are common among university students and can affect them adversely. This study was interested in some of the contributions and consequences of break-ups. Twenty-five Bangladeshi university students completed a multiple choice survey which asked about romantic relationships and break-ups. Among the sample, the majority believed both males and females contribute to break-ups and that the main cause is mental disagreements. Furthermore, many of the students believed that there can be mental health consequences and impaired functioning from break-ups. The results also indicated that talking to one’s partner was believed to be the best way to prevent a break-up. Lastly, talking to friends and family to cope with a break-up was indicated as preferable to talking to a professional.
