Can only be "may be" if the other person has ever been involved to confirm that there is a split/break. If, beginning to end, the thoughts take place in our own head, the other person we feel split/broken by does not even know what we are thinking, much less agree with our judgment of what they were thinking/feeling, it's all ours. The other person always gets to be in charge of what they are thinking/feeling; our opinion is our opinion and about us, not them; we can never get inside their heart or mind, have to accept their word.
