A relationship gone haywire can ruin all of that. When you're an emotional wreck, it begins to take a toll on all other aspects of your life. "A year after I had been going around with my ex, I found out that she was cheating on me with her previous boyfriend," says 24-year-old Mumbaiite Bunty Sinha*. "I was really in love with her and absolutely heartbroken and to make matters worse, my BCom final exams were around the corner. I couldn't study, couldn't eat properly and had trouble sleeping. I did okay in the exams, but could have done much better if this mess hadn't come up in the first place. In fact, I spent the summer holidays moping too. It took a long time to get my life back in order."
