How to Move On, After a Break-up

Let go of a broken heart!

Well. you've cried on everyone's shoulder you know, and reveled in self pity long enough. It's time to move on! But, HOW?

Things You'll Need

• A desire to start a new, healthier relationship

Instructions

1. First you need to accept that the relationship is over--REALLY over, and there will be no returning to your ex. It's only at this point that you can move on. There may still be anger and hurt, but if you can't let it go, you'll be dragging it into the next relationship, and destine it to failure.

2. As you let go of the anger and hurt, you can autopsy the ex relationship. By this I mean, figure out what, when and who was responsible for the relationship's downfall. and honestly accept blame for what is your responsibility. There's probably plenty to go around, but LEARN from something you can admit that you did to contribute to the break-up.

3. Understand that you can have no contact with your ex. This "let's still be friends" talk is just impossible. It ignores the fact that there remain serious unresolved issues that ignoring them will only result in a friendship built on untruths...and may seduce you back into that relationship, which ended up to be toxic. Pictures and reminders of your ex should be removed from your house, and contact should be stopped!

4. Find a new club, or bar to hang in and thus avoid the memories, as well as possible contact with your ex. NEVER bring a new girlfriend to an old, familiar spot.

5. The new girlfriend or boyfriend should meet your family and friends soon, and it will help you and others see that the "ex" is over.

Tips & Warnings
