As a Couple – How to Break Up?

When we start a new relationship, people start to feel hope, joy, feeling of euphoria that pervades our daily life and gives us the feeling of fullness. As the relationship is consolidated, we find in our partner to our friend, our loving and most importantly, our life partner. Stop thinking about "we" and try to think "me".

Therefore, when the break up comes and we separate ourselves from our partners, it is necessary to develop a duel involving the loss of that life partner, and stop thinking that "we" and re-think "I". The end of a relationship is always traumatic and painful, whether we who have ended the relationship as if it were our partner. Obviously, during this period, it is totally normal to feel sadness, frustration, anger and guilt. We feel disoriented, with low self esteem, and also experience a series of stressful situations, which not only make us feel worse, but above all they do not help us to stop thinking about it. The intensity of our emotions and duration depend on each and every situation: attachment, causes of separation, of how this end is interpreted and the social life you have. At such times, we feel that we will never recover and be normal, that we will never be happy. But this duration it is just a passing phase.


Although not all experience this process in the same way, generally cross the following phases:



1. Disclaimer: We are in shock, and do not accept what is happening.

2. Yearning and Search another: In this phase, we accept the breakup, but not emotionally. "We are not a couple anymore, but we still want to ". At this stage, usually seek contact with others with whom you agree, events of friends, phone calls, messages, social networking ... Often in this phase behaviors of others as signs of a possible reconciliation misinterpreted, making this phase time usually lasts until the other person begins a new relationship, which is usually very painful.


3. Frustration and Despair: In this phase, the break up is accepted but it has a sense of continuous discomfort. Feelings of melancholy and nostalgia, full of resentment and guilt appear. The past is idealized and blames everything and everyone for the breakup.


4. Disorganized and Despair: In this phase the pain is very deep. Awareness of reality is taken and we arrive at feeling of real loss and loneliness. We do not feel excited about anything. This is the worst stage of grief, because the person may tend to fill that void unprepared for this, with new partners, with harmful conduct, or even going to mention the flaws of another person.


5. Conduct Reorganized: Return to the light to appear at the end of the tunnel. You start to see the future as a new opportunity, with more optimism, and think break up is not as painful. Feel less anger and guilt, and have greater control over oneself, since the situation is perceived more objectively.


As in all difficult processes by which people go through certain feelings and thoughts can become chronic, becoming pathological and require professional help to overcome them.


Finally, remember that when a couple is over, it is not only an end; it is the beginning of a new phase that will also bring wonderful moments.
