Monday's lesson had a great phrasal verb.... pull yourself
together as its main point. This got me thinking. What is the opposite of that. Of course, I realized that the phrase is fall
apart.
Fall apart can be physical or emotional.
examples
Physically
His shirt was so old that it fell apart when I touched it.
Cathy's car fell apart when she closed the door.
I didn't glue it well, so it fell apart easily
Emotionally
When his girlfriend broke up with him, Ken fell apart.
After Diana was fired she fell apart.
The shock was too much for Dan and he fell apart.
Special Cases
Jim and Tina's marriage fell apart. (They got divorced)
His story fell apart. (He was obviously lying)
