How to Handle Breaking Up with Boyfriend or Girlfriend
64There'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.

I have found this page to be very interesting, my boyfriend just broke up with me last week and i'm trying to avoid him by not calling him but i still do. I think he still loves me. But after reading this article it open up my mind to a lot of things. Thank You so much
thanks brother,but i really love her,while writing this also my eyes r filled with tears.but i will try my best to forget such a type of girl who can break up after 6 long years.
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.
i broke up 2 days ago n he is my vlassmate so its very diffivult for me to handle it,v broke upbecause he abused me badly n treated melyk sum rotten thng or etc n thng is tht he is very happy aftr doing ths......cn u suggest sumthng so tht my pain can b handled
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!
I Think this Page is good I Broke up with my best 2 weeks ago and still can not get over it He was the best but i can never hate him because he is the best
i cant seem to break up with my boyfriend. i have wanted to for a long time now. we play music together, and i think thats whats keeping me with him, that and im afraid to be alone. i hate this. i feel stuck. like i cant get out and if i do ill make a mistake.
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.
