Chris Brown, Rihanna: Real Reason Pair Can't Be Together Revealed?

Chris Brown and Rihanna reportedly ended their tumultuous relationship for good in May and reports claim the pair simply could not make things work due to their infamous 2009 domestic assault incident.

In January Rihanna, 25, confirmed that she and Brown, 24, had reconciled four years after he admittedly assaulted her during a disagreement. Five months later they reportedly split again and while critics blamed Brown's ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, for allegedly causing the breakup, a source claims ongoing stress stemming from the domestic assault was the real reason that the pair will likely never reconcile.

"They went through a lifetime together ... They've had lots of ups and then a HUGE down. Sometimes Chris can't even look at her because it reminds him of the s--- he did years ago. Even though she forgave him, the world hasn't," a source told HollywoodLife.com.

"It still distracts him from his music and his life. It's always in his face and it's something he can't shake," the source explained about the assault incident, adding "You know, they tried it once and it was great. They tried it again and it didn't work."

Brown recently confirmed that despite the past, he and Rihanna are still very good friends. Although the pair still loves one another, anything more than friendship is simply too stressful.

"He loves her, but he knows they just can't work," the insider revealed. "They can only exist as friends because the relationship s--- just can't happen. They can't handle that. It's too much."

On Aug. 5 Brown posted a cryptic message on social networking site Twitter which fans suspect was aimed at Rihanna. The "Fine China" appeared to suggest that his relationship with Rihanna lacked substance and trust.

"How do u build a house without a foundation???? Friendship brings the trust and love stronger. You have to like a person to love them!" Brown tweeted.

Despite reports claiming Brown has since moved on with Tran, the singer recently confirmed that he is single and not dating anyone.

"[Fans have] seen me on and off again with different girls, you know who they are, but right now, as a 24-year-old man, I just choose to be single!" Brown said in reference to a love triangle involving Tran and Rihanna. "I'm still good friends with them."
