we are through

[manustone]

Hi all
what does it mean "We are through" ?
I think is related to any problems 2 fiances might have, so strictly related to a couple of people..for intimate things.
The previous post is mentioning a song where I found the sentence "If ever you deceive me we're through".
If this is not the case, can "we are through" be used in other context like in a work environment?
Thanks mnstn

'The affair is over'. It can be used of any enterprise/venture - but a sexual relationship is the most common context. I imagine the phrase was adopted originally for the benefit of lyricists - you, too, blue...

We are through" is not directly associated with relationships, though it is mostly used by couples.

This means, "it's over", "it's done". For example, a lecturer/tutor may ask students "are you done with your exams?" and students would answer "we are through"

This means, "we are through" is not just for relationships. We can use this term as long as it defines: an end, completion, and the likes

I thought my words 'It can be used of any enterprise/venture' might have conveyed roughly that meaning...
