How to Handle Breaking Up with Boyfriend or Girlfriend

63

By maximus

There's no universal way to handle a breakup, however the following tips may be useful for most people:

- First of all, don't hate yourself or your ex. It's a waste of time to be hating yourself and ripping yourself apart.

- Accept your pain, but don't put yourself through more pain than you have to. You should grieve your lost relationship in which you invested yourself emotionally. Don't hide from the pain and don't turn to destructive distractions, for example alcohol.

- Your friends and close family members are always a source of advice and guidance. People who love you will help you see that you should love yourself too.

- Do not jump into another relationship as a rebound so that you can feel better.This is not fair to that other person, and this will, sooner or later, lead to another breakup.

- Realize that there is more to life than being in a relationship - try to find happiness in other areas of your life. Find something creative to do - something that will require you to focus and get interested. Remind yourself the fact that you used to have fun doing things you have forgotten about.

- Remember that no relationship is a failure if you manage to learn something about yourself. When you go through a breakup , you are getting closer to finding real happiness, because you are getting to know your true inner-self.

- Let go. Understand that there is no point in being heartbroken for a log period of time. Realize that although your relationship was very unique and special, all good things must come to an end.

- If you want you can also try to get your ex boyfriend or ex girlfriend back - read more here.

well, i broke up around two monts ago. we ended our relationship because he's unfaithful. i should be hating him, but i just couldn't do so. As he was a good boyfriend. and he's the one who admitted that he has a new girlfriend and wanted to break up with me. So no point of hating him right? But i just couldn't let go. Sigh.

We just broke up over the phone like 2 hours ago. I'm glad that I don't have to hate myself or him. I am also 5 months pregnant with his first child and I know he's already focusing on another relationship- which will probably not last very long. Tonite, I've learned something about myself: that I am not alone. I have my 5 year old daughter and the only man I need in my life to protect me and love me unconditionally is the baby I am carrying. I've only gained and lost nothing. Thank you for this helpful article!

Thank you very much yoy have given me hope.

My boyfriend broke up with me 2days ago. We been together for 4 years. I am really hurting because we talked about the future and having children all the time. He told me the reason why is because we have a lot of missunderstandings. We have always had little situations all relationships do.it hurts cus it sounds like something more.

He is ending the relationship after 15 years. No we were not married not really sure why. But his is taking an emotional toll on me. He is the love of my life my soul mate and I will not find another. Just trying to find out how to move on.

I miss all the romantic little things couples do together. He forgot my birthday even. I know the day I stopped trying to reach him, its all over. I wish if he told me "I don't love you" and just walked away. I would brake into pieces but at least I would know for sure. He is giving me time to realize how less important I am to him. He doesn't always answer my calls and never reply to sms. But he would call if he needed something. Its high tie I walk away. It hurts a lot.
