I grant the ones I love their freedom.  I don't want them
around if they're not happy.  Going back to my earlier responses,
I've been fortunate, and a person who was important to me did come
back.  Sometimes, you don't recognize the value of a relationship
without contrast (I know, I know, it's a weak argument, but
consider your first love: Wasn't it impossible to reflect on
it until you had something with which to compare it?).
 
Sure, the pain lessens.  Sure, you should give all your relationships
thought.
 
But I would consider a damnable fool the person who abruply ends
a relationship when things get rocky ('rather than moon around')
without trying to make things work (even if you >>were<< to learn
a lesson which would be put to use next time).
 
'Course, perhaps I'm a fool, but I've been known to give many (such)
chances to people if I felt great love for them, 'slong as it didn't
hurt either of us >>too<< much.
