What is?

According to Irish philosopher Bishop George Berkeley, "to be is to be perceived." In other words, something exists only if someone perceives it. If asked the infamous question "if a tree fell in the woods and no one was there to hear it, would it make a sound?", Berkeley would probably have said "No."

So, here's my question: If a relationship between two people ends, but there's only one person there to grieve the loss, was it really a relationship?
