Love dwindle

hello,

Can you help with correction of the little paragraph?

Here are my questions?

Is it possible to use dwindle like this?

Is it correct to say : leave on bad terms?

Is it correct to start a sentence like : its not to say that?

Finally is it correct to say : Its not my temperament to...?

Our love for each other had dwindled before we finally left each other on bad terms. It’s not to say I didn’t try to make things work. I don’t give up easily. That’s just not my temperament to give up without trying.

thank you for the help

I would switch "it's" (note the spelling) and "that's" to make it idiomatic: Our love for each other had dwindled before we finally left each other on bad terms. That's not to say I didn’t try to make things work. I don’t give up easily.

  • "Dwindle" is right, but it's perhaps a bit too literary a word for the context.
