Summary
In examining the factors that contribute to the end of relationships, the factors supporting their sustainability are considered in parallel here. The structure of the network itself is modified by these losses, and conversely, the structure affects the strength of the ties. We combine both an overview of these movements and the finer patterns of ending and continuation of relationships.
