Getting Over Your Break Up
Are you getting over break up right now? Do you hurt so bad that you feel like your heart is going to explode? Do you want to see the other person one minute and want to kill them the next? That is all par for the course when you are getting over break up.
One woman whose first husband died and second husband divorced her said that it was easier getting over the death of a husband than it was from a divorce. That is because there’s support when someone dies, but you hav to get over break up on your own.
The first thing you should do is sit down and write a long letter to your ex. Pour out your heart. Call them names. It’s okay to emote in this letter because you are going to light a candle and burn the letter over the candle’s flame.
If you have been in a relationship of any length, you probably have some stuff of his at your place and he’s got your things at his. You probably want much of this stuff back and he or she is equally eager to get theirs. Work out a time for a mutual exchange.
If there are things of your ex’s that aren’t going to be exchanged, either box them up or throw them away. Don’t leave your ex’s toothbrush lying around the bathroom because it will only remind you of them as you are trying to go about getting over break up.
It is also a good idea to box up any gifts your ex gave you for a time. Wearing a watch that your ex gave you will make you think of them every time you check to see what time it is. That’s just not a good idea when getting over break up.
If you owe your ex money, try to either pay it off from your own funds or get another loan to pay it off. If you have a checking account together, work out how you are going to divvy it up and then go to the bank to close it.
What you should be seeing is a pattern of closing out the parts of your lives that you shared. This is essential to getting over break up.
After you have done what is necessary, agree to have no contact for thirty days. This will allow you to start building separate lives. You shouldn’t call, text, email, or meet the other person during this time.
After you have had time to begin building a separate life, you will be able to interact more normally once again. This is a difficult time, so give yourself the space you need in order to go about getting over break up.
Getting over the Pain of a Break Up
If the relationship is over and there is no chance of getting back together then you need to heal yourself and get over the pain of the breakup so that you can move on and find love again (even if that’s the last thing on your mind right now).
This post will give you some tips on what to do to help get over a break up.
Try and think about the relationship in an objective light (yes that’s often more difficult said than done). Sometimes talking to an impartial friend helps so that you can talk about the problems the relationship openly with someone who won’t judge you. If you don’t have such a friend then even a counselor could help.
The first part of healing is often accepting what when wrong in the relationship and quit blaming yourself for it. When you are emotionally invested in a situation often you can think you did something wrong. If you’ve ever heard yourself say “If only I didn’t do thisâ€, or “If I just had of did this moreâ€, then take a step back and say it out loud to someone else so that you can discuss it rationally.
And even if you DID do something that caused the end of the relationship, you still can’t beat yourself up about it. If you made a mistake, then you need to forgive yourself for it and learn from it so it won’t happen again.
In this period of mourning the relationship it’s important to keep busy and try and be around other people. You are probably going to have moments of sadness where just hearing a song on the radio or seeing two people in the park kissing will have you crying. Remember it’s natural to feel this way. Crying is actually a very good way to let go of a lot of built up emotion – so allow yourself to do it every once in a while.
Keep a distance from your ex. This is not a time to ‘catch up’ or email to ‘see how you are doing’. Seeing your ex will only prolong the hurt and pain you are feeling. If the relationship really is over for good then avoid contact with your ex until your can think rationally again – otherwise you will just be putting yourself up for more hurt and pain when you see them.

I Lost Love – Help Me Find It Again
Here is an article written by one of my readers Stuart. I hope you like it!
"When I think about how I lost love, I think about Alfred Lord Tennyson’s quote, “Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.â€Â I’m sharing my story in order to help you if you too have lost the love of your life.
I think it is important to remember that every relationship has a natural lifespan. In Junior High, that’s about four days. As we get older, the lifespan increases. Most of us will only have one great love in our lives. The other relationships will terminate. That’s why when I say I lost love, I understand that this is a natural process.
In my case, my girlfriend's lease was about to end, and she wanted to move into my apartment. As we were spending most of our time there anyway, it made sense from a financial perspective.
But there is something significant about having separate places and I couldn't handle our relationship at this level. I guess the time span of our relationship was up because I wasn’t willing to become more committed.
Now, I know I handled the situation badly. I went to a friend’s bachelor party and let’s just say things got out of hand. Word about the wild antics at the party got back to my girlfriend, naturally, and she dumped me.Â
But, when I think back on what really happened, the events of the bachelor party were really a reaction to our discussion of more commitment. I seriously don’t think I would have behaved the way I did if I really wanted her to move in. I just wasn’t ready for the direction it was taking.Â
I’m glad I was with my ex for the time we were together, but I don’t think she was the love of my life, my soul mate.  I loved her. I still love her. But, she is not the person with whom I see spending the rest of my life.
I really was hurt when she said she wanted to end things. Sure, I understood that I had hurt her. But, I didn’t want her to leave my life completely.
I guess what I wanted was for things to continue on the way they were. But, every relationship has to grow or die. Because I wasn’t willing to let it grow, it had to die.  That’s how I lost love."
Great article Stuart - I hope you find a new love soon! - Georgie.
Ending a Relationship Breaking Up is Hard To Do
Image via Wikipedia
Does your to-do list look something like this:
·   Walk dog
·   Water plants
·   Break up with significant other
Okay, while ending a relationship is hardly at the top of anybody’s calendar, the fact is that when a relationship has gone sour, someone has to make the move to end it. The truth is that many relationships last long beyond the “expire by†date just because breaking up is hard to do.
Sometimes a break up happens in dramatic fashion with clothes being thrown out of a second story window.
