breakup?

You keep using that word...

If you are still living together and still having sex and still trying to talk about your feelings YOU AREN'T BROKEN UP. You are in a horrible relationship and possibly the cause of a drama hurricane.

But as you wish.

Oh if we're going to discuss word misuse can we talk about "theirselves". Also "alot" and "shes" caught my attention before I stopped reading.

Sometimes you need a couple's counselor and an editor.

We are in agreement on that.

Her grammar is perfectly acceptable in her vernacular, which is African American Vernacular English.

I didn't know there was a dialect where it was appropriate to leave out possessive apostrophes.

Oops, misremembered, actually just the apostrophe for a contraction. Maybe that makes a difference.

there may be one, but AAVE isn't it. it frequently leaves off the possessive "s", but if the "s" is there, the apostrophe generally is too (see also, Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, Zora Neale Hurston, Alice Walker, Ernest Gaines, James Baldwin, etc).
