Tian Nienaber shares that "'Knip die Tou’ (meaning 'Cut the Cord') deals with relationships where you just keep trying, even when things seem not to work out.

I've been in a few relationships in the past where we would argue, break up, and then get back together. It seems like I'm trapped in a cycle where I keep encountering the same problems while trying to fix things that are obviously broken.

It was something I struggled with for a while, trying to come to a conclusion of sorts. I've always had the belief that something must work out—the classic 'love is enough' mindset. Unfortunately, that's not always the case. Sometimes relationships aren't meant to last, and since you can't address the issue, it's best to break up rather than further damage your relationship. Expanding it beyond what's necessary ultimately causes more harm than good for all parties involved."
