Truth might be found in astrology at times like this.

No matter how painful Saturn's limits are, know that he leaves you with exactly what you need. This will sound cruel when you lose something or someone. But this is when you remind yourself of Saturn's purpose; to focus your attention on the essentials. The Libra area of your chart is where Saturn wants you to dig in, one last time, and work with what's left. "Work" is key here because that's how you get on Saturn's good side. Find your authority (Saturn has gifted you with some by this point). Use it. Focus on what you can control and let the rest go.

Your reward? You'll come out of this with something (an enhanced bond with your partner, platinum grade independence, a take-no-prisoners goal, etc.) that is hard as diamonds. Saturn always rewards those who work with his limits.
 
My own opinion is that it is time to not get left behind a knowing or unknowing casualty.
