follow through and go through

Hello,
I think that "follow through" suggests that a person starts and finishes something, whereas "go through" could have the negative connotation of doing something unpleasant/dangerous/difficult/etc. An example: "Are you sure you want to go through with the divorce?". He didn't follow through with his promise to help. or "The government must follow through with some necessary reforms."

I hope it makes at least little sense. What do you think?
