When grieving the loss of a relationship, we often assume that avoiding painful emotions will bring us relief when the opposite is true.
Here you are, in the middle of the storm, struggling to stay afloat and wondering how you will ever be happy again! You can be! I promise!
Dealing with relationship uncertainty is never easy, and the constant thought of ‘should I stay or should I go’ is enough to drive you crazy.
As long as you are happy with your partner and feel good about yourself in the relationship, you should always fight for it.
Who said breakups hurt the most? Losing a bestfriend can break your heart too. If you’re going through the pain of ending a friendship, here are some healthy ways to cope with it.
You can break up in a way that is likely to cause both you and your partner to eventually look back on the relationship with fondness rather than bitter regrets.
Surrender invites the idea that “if you love someone let them go and if they come back then that’s how you know you’re meant to be.”
Texting your ex after you’ve been broken up for a while can often feel embarrassing, sad, low—or whatever other uncomfortable emotion you’re feeling.
Do this because you want to own your power, and remember what it feels like to be in control of your own life.
Divorce is ok. Breaking up is ok. Starting over is ok. Moving on is ok. Saying no is ok. Being alone is ok. What is not ok is staying somewhere where you aren’t happy, valued, or appreciated, that’s not ok
