Relationship problems suck. That’s a fact. Sometimes it can feel like the world is crashing down around you and you can’t do anything about it. A great playlist to listen while you scarf down Ben and Jerry’s can be a great pain reliever for your heartache. I put together some of my favorite songs for all different types of relationship issues that we all go through at some point. Whether you’re holding onto a relationship that’s inevitably coming to an end, replaying the memories of your time together over and over in your head, or your S.O. starts playing games and you realize you’re better off without them, these songs will put your feelings into beautiful, poetic words.
