I can't get up to the stage where this can even happen but this applies to bf/gf relationships and everything before that. We are supposed to learn from our mistakes.
Physical things can be taken apart, we can test it and make observations. Sometimes I take pictures to share the point(s) of failure and I would have a better understanding of why it happens. Knowing why, I could actually make adjustments to avoid it in the future. If I was in control of it I know I would be able to avoid the situation. Like my laptop hinge that shattered today - I can think of ways to fix it, why it broke, and how it broke. I know I can't avoid it other than never adjusting my laptop screen and I know I can fix it by changing the entire base for $40 + couple hours of work.
On the other hand people are very weird creatures and I have a hard time understanding how others think. My guess would be as good as yours but even if two people agree, we would never know how the other person feels. It is perfectly fine without any form of conclusion because life goes on and it didn't really cost me, but to have a conclusive ending to something and learn from it sounds so... nice. It can come in the form of an explosive argument but how much of that is your honest opinion? Isn't most of the words said during an argument carefully selected to be the most hurtful? So learning from these kind of experiences is good just unlikely.
