Your most powerful tool during a breakup is your head. Your heart is probably barely muttering some jibber jabber in between sobs. Or it’s saying some BS like “I’ll never be happy.” If you can, try to understand exactly what happened. Not so that you can get the person back, but so that you can avoid the same problem from happening again. And that is going to require a combination of you behaving differently, and you choosing someone who is just different from the last guy. Here’s how you’ll identify how to do that:

    Best article Ive read on this site this far! I think number 5 applies to me the most. There are always things that you could have done better. I could’ve been a little more sensitive even when dealing with outlashes. Holding grudges after a break up allows angst to control your mind!

    Number 4 was the key for me, the break-up pain didn’t last long because I honestly couldn’t see marriage in the future. I always ask myself is there something I could’ve done differently( to avoid dating that type of person in the future, improve my vetting processes) and what lesson I can take from the experience to improve myself.

      I can relate to this list I recently went through a break up and I asked myself a lot of these questions on this list I felt much better once I realize the relationship wasn’t worth it and I’m much better and happier without him. I’ve noticed a great change in me I never notice before how much drama and stress my ex added to my life now I feel great!
