I am trying to understand the following short conversation. But I have some
trouble understanding the last sentence.

> female 1: まだまだ 忙しそうだな…
>
> female 2 looking at phone sad: うん… だから別れ話も できなくって…

My translation:

> Seems like [he] is still busy...
>
> Yeah... that's why I have not been able to connect [with him].

I feel like my translation of the second sentence is off. Because I don't
really know how to interpret the "別れ話も". The literal translation I think is
Parting conversation? I feel that, that does not sound right.

question
meaning translation interpretation
interpretation of a sentence -"だから別れ話しも　できなくって"
別れ話 means talking about separation. It appears that female 2 is planning to
separate from her significant other, but due to him being busy, she hasn't
been able to bring that up yet.

answer
別れ話 is “the discussion” that a couple has just before breaking up (別れる). So it
seems “female 2” can’t get to broach the subject to her boyfriend(?) due to
him being busy.
