It is very difficult to get out of a breakup and move on. It is not easy unless you are really very glad to get out of the relationship. A breakup can change your whole life. Everything and every even in your life reminds you of your ex, and cause a lot of pain. Particularly if you have some mutual friends, it’s more difficult to even go out with them.
Some of the greatest hurdles you’ll have to cross before moving on with your new life are your family and friends. If your family knows about your ex and you are going to grow tired of their enquiries about the situation. You must take time to explain them that it’s over and you are planning to move on. You make it clear that it was a painful breakup and you don’t appreciate being reminded of it often.

Sometimes this may become very difficult with the family, especially if they are still hoping to get back the person so that you both can be happy again. You can just make it clear that the breakup is over and you are planning to move on. At some point or the other they understand and leave it as they love you. And it is going to be harder to deal with if friends are trying to help you.

If it so happens that you have a common group of friends, it’s going to be hard to get over the situation. Thought, it would be easier if you have less common friends. If you are going alone, it might seem strange to everyone. And there is another problem of your ex wanting to hang out with the same friends. It’s also possible that you see each other while attempting to hang on with friends. It does not necessarily mean that you break up with your friends just because you broke up with your ex. But it’s going to be a bit more difficult to maintain those friends after your relationship has come to an end. 

You may also give up some of those friends. You and your ex may sometimes have to share some and only keep some mutual friends. Just try to maintain good contact with those you are close with and leave the others for your ex. It is painful but is the best thing to keep everyone comfortable. Probably they don’t have to face the dilemma of whom to be loyal to and whom to avoid. 

Most of the times, this is a very difficult period when you are surrounded by mutual friends and sometimes the places you must go together. If the time allows, it’s better to go on a vacation and keep yourself away from all the places that remind you of your ex. You can probably take the vacation with a friend who is not involved in the situation, may be someone who is not a mutual friend. If you can put in some effort, it’s possible to get over the breakup.
