Is it a "rupture" or an "impasse"? I can only speak for myself, of course, but I find that being intentional about the words I use helps reduce my angst.

For example, I try to avoid using the term "rupture", as that implies that the situation or relationship is irreversibly broken. Ruptures can't be repaired; they require a surgical approach to completely tie off vessels. So I try to avoid using that particular term as a descriptor, because I feel like I am sending a signal to myself that I have already given up, and I find that I don't work as hard on finding a resolution.

Impasse is another story. Impasses are potentially passable, given that one or the other is willing to either back up a step, or if the two are willing to squeeze in tightly and hang on to each other, so neither one falls off the ledge. For me, that signifies a willingness to work on things, even if it's an awkward dance.

This is just my $0.02 worth, of course, but it seems that by raising the question, you are willing to consider that the relationship is worth salvaging. So hang with that for awhile, and see what your gut tells you to do.

Hope that helps
