Miley Cyrus and Patrick Schwarzenegger are reportedly taking a break from their five-month relationship, because nothing gold can stay.

According to E! News, sources report that while the couple has not officially broken up altogether, they are taking a step back and taking some time apart from each other. If we're being honest, news of the break shouldn't come as a huge surprise to fans that have been following the trajectory of their relationship over the past few months.

Photos surfaced back in March that showed Patrick getting suspiciously chummy with a girl. He denied the cheating allegations that came along with them, claiming that he and the girl were merely friends. He wrote on Twitter, "Omg. It’s one of my best friends [sic] girlfriend…Would NEVER do anything against my GF…..Girls have guy friends and guys have friends that are girls…" Just a few days later, photos of Patrick hanging out with an ex-girlfriend were also posted online, adding fuel to the fire and sparking even more rumors that Patrick had been unfaithful. Miley did not address the situation and the two stayed together.

Miley fans, however, were not down with Patrick's explanation of events and decided to let him know how they felt via Twitter. From thinly veiled death threats ("YES I trust you. But I swear that if you ever hurt Miley you'll regret it.") to straight up death threats ("you better run for your life when you come to LA"), fans certainly expressed their feelings in varied and often nuanced ways.

We wish them both well during their time apart.
