Be mature and accept the end of the relationship for what it is. Nobody likes to see their relationship end, but sometimes it happens. Accept it for what it is.

Don't say anything you might regret later. It can be tempting to spew out everything you can't stand about your former partner, but the reality is that this is counterproductive to moving on. This also can prevent a friendship with your ex.

Allow yourself time to grieve. The end of a relationship is similar to a death in a lot of ways, so be kind to yourself and give yourself time to be sad and work through it.

Spend time with friends and family. The support of friends and family is vital during this time.

Don't jump into a new relationship too quickly. You're lonely and vulnerable, so it may be tempting to start a new relationship immediately, but that could easily lead to a new relationship that will eventually end. Take your time. A new relationship will come when you're ready.

6
Enjoy your time alone. Now that you are not in a relationship, take some time for you. Try a new hobby, get together with friends, or travel to a new destination. This not only helps you get over the past relationship, but it also helps you develop your talents and interests.

Tips & Warnings
You can be friends with your ex (after a reasonable amount of time has passed), or you can pass on being friends. It's up to you.
There is no completely right way to handle a relationship breakup, so be kind to yourself and know that even if you make mistakes, it will be ok.
Think twice before you consider taking your ex back (if that is an option). There are reasons you broke up in the first place, so be cautious.
