There's certainly a common attitude with both romantic relationships and businesses, with the expectation among many that if it goes wrong it's the end of the friendship, so people seek out people from other circles so as not to ruin a long friendship (be it from dating apps for romance or working with professional associates / startup incubator neighbours / whatever for business formation)

This is indeed true, and acrimonious splits aren't that uncommon, but folks also tend to move on, seek other partnerships and look to do better than before.
