When embarking on a relationship, it’s never your intention for things to end. Even so, things don’t always work out the way we intend. Breakups are hard. As there’s no right or wrong way to do things, it can be a confusing time. The way your breakup goes depends on the reasons. If you had only been seeing each other for a matter of months, the situation is different from if you were married. Even with these differences, there are some things that you should do to make the process easier on both of you. Here a few tips that might help you in your time of need.
STAY CIVIL
Again, it depends on the reason for the breakup, but it’s best if you and your ex remain civil. You don’t need to be best friends, in fact, it’s better if you aren’t, but staying polite will make things less painful. Breakups can turn the person you loved into a stranger. It’s important to remember how he was before and treat him with the respect he deserves. Bear in mind that anything unpleasant he does is just because he’s hurting. If one of you cheated, civility might be too much to ask for. If the breakup was just one of those things, there’s no reason you can’t at least be polite to each other. This is especially important if you were married, or living together. Such breakups aren’t easy, and you’re going to have to talk to sort out your affairs. If you’re at each other’s throats, it’s going to be harder.
KNOW WHEN TO GET OUTSIDE HELP
Despite your best intentions, it’s not always possible to sort things out on your own. Asking for help during a breakup can be just the thing. If you and your partner are no longer able to talk, you may need to conduct business through mutual friends. If your divorce isn’t going according to plan, you may need a divorce lawyer. Outside help is about more than just ensuring the breakup is complete. You may also need some emotional support. Knowing you have people to turn to is crucial at such a hard time. Turn to your friends and family and talk to them about how you’re feeling. Talking things through can help cement them in your mind!
STAY STRONG
Staying strong is crucial, for you if no one else. Finding yourself alone can be daunting, but staying strong makes things easier. That’s not to say you won’t have wobbles sometimes. There’s nothing wrong with that. For the most part, though, looking to the future is the best way to stop you from feeling blue. Set your sights on things you would like to achieve to save you from falling into your sadness. Staying strong can also be satisfying with regards to your ex. Knowing that he’s seen you struggling can make you feel even more vulnerable. If he thinks you’re doing well, it’ll be easier for both of you to move on.
