Any tips for getting over a turbulent relationship?
Saturday, February 27th, 2010I just finally ended a 2 year, very rocky relationship. Any tips for moving on? We lived together so I was so used to having him around and now I feel like I don’t know what to do with myself. I need to keep busy so I don’t let him back in my life this time!
When a relationship ends in my life, good or bad, I always try to maintain this attitude:
The relationship ending is possibly the best thing that ever could have happened to me.
This does not mean I’m bitter, resentful, or regret being in the relationship.
I’ve had great relationships end simply because we both agreed we didn’t have the makings of a life long commitment.
So….if you take the attitude that the relationships end opens the door to an infinite number of things you couldn’t of had while in the relationship……
something amazing happens….
yeah, you can still miss them, be hurt, sad, etc….all the normal things that come with the end of a relationship.
But at the same time, with the above attitude….the stars begin to align, you become aware of all the new possibilities that await, and you find great joy in a variety of things you would never have known should you have stayed in the relationship.
Granted, easier said than done. But, what other "healthy" way is there to look at it?
