4 Month Rule/Automatic Closure Rule

A specie of extinctive prescription (or acquisitive prescription in some instances). Pag nag-break na kayo, after the lapse of 4 months, friends nalang kayo...automatically.

Rationale:
(1) Meron kang 3 months para makipagbalikan nang may saysay (See 3 month rule).
(2) Pag hindi kayo nagbalikan within 3 months may 1 month kang extension, kung hindi mo pipiliing maghanap ng iba (again, related to the 3 month rule).
(3)Pag nag-lapse ang parehong period without any rekindling, dapat friends nalang kayo. Ang maghabol, bitter.

Expert advice: Invoke the 4-month rule lalo na kapag bad break-up. Pagkatapos ng 4 months at galit parin, bitter na siya.

Ara Mina tungkol kay Jomari: "Nagkaroon kami ng closure not on air," sagot ni Ara. "Di ba, yung time na in-invite niya ako for campaign ni Anjo [Yllana, Jomari's brother]? Siya yung tumawag sa akin. Ako naman dahil walang bitterness, tinanggap ko kahit wala kaming closure noon." - PEP
