Dealing The Right Way With Breakups

Welcome to our Dealing With Breakups blog. We have the Magic of Making Up that will not only help you deal with a breakup but will get your ex back, if you are wanting to do that!

Dealing with breakups is very difficult but you don't real have to sit around feeling sick in the stomach like your going to jump out of your skin. There are things you can learn and ways you can act that will get your ex back.

If you want to quit feeling sorry for yourself and sitting around daily barely making it into work, you can make a plan to move on with your life as well as a plan to get your ex back if you want him or her back. Dealing with breakups is easier when you get the inside information that most people think they know but don't.



If you are dealing with breakups right now you may be going through a whirlwind of emotions. I am sure you hurt so bad that you feel ill, can barely eat and feel like your feelings are going to explode. You no doubt want to see your ex so bad yet want to kill them the next minute!

Don’t get into a panic. Dealing with breakups is common. These are all the normal feelings most people who have just broken up go through.


Just as there are stages of grief when mourning someone who has died and there are ways to get over that, there are also steps that can be taken when dealing with breakups. A woman I know whose first husband died and second husband divorced her said that it was actually easier getting over the death of a husband than it was recovering from divorce. That is because there is usually a lot of support when someone dies, but you are supposed to get over heartbreak on your own when dealing with breakups.

Here is the first thing you should do in dealing with breakups. Write a long letter to your ex. Pour your heart out. Go ahead and share the experiences you had together. Tell him or her why you loved them. Put on paper how you feel about the break up. Call them names if you want. Let it out. This is all OK because no one is ever going to see the letter. When you are done and satisfied, burn it. This is one good ritual that can really help you to emotional recovery.

Now you need to arrange an exchange session with your ex. If you have been in a relationship of any length, you probably have some stuff at the ex's place and they have stuff at yours. 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 items of your ex’s that will never be exchanged, either box them up or throw them away. Do not leave your ex’s toothbrush or razor lying around the bathroom because it will only remind you of them as you are dealing with the breakup. It is also a good idea to box up any gifts your ex gave you. Wearing a piece of jewelry that your ex gave you will make you think of them way too much. That’s just not a good idea when getting over break up. Once you are over it than you can bring those items back out.

There are usually sometimes financial matters that need to be straightened out when getting over a break up. If you owe your ex money, try to either pay it off or get a loan to pay it off, if it is large. If you have a checking account together, work out how you are going to split up what is in there and then close the account.

If you noticed, what we are doing is closing out the shared parts of your life, one by one. You have to do this to get deal with breakups.

After you have done what is necessary, agree to have no contact for thirty days. This will allow you to start building separate lives. Do not call, text, email or meet the other person during this time. If you had a mutual bar or church you attended you may want to "split" that up someway as well.

After you have gone through this process and have started to rebuild separate lives, you may be able to interact with others and your ex more normally once again. Make sure you give yourself the space you need to deal with breakups and make sure you give your ex space also.

You may find that you really don't want to break up and want a chance to get back together. This is not at all uncommon when trying to recover from a break up. There are ways to do this but some of them are counter intuitive yet surprisingly simple.


Love Breakup

If you’ve ever had your love break up you know how painful it is. And if you thought back after the relationship ended, you probably saw all the signs that you didn’t recognize before. If you’ll remember those signs and keep them in mind, they can help you prevent a break up in the future. And they can also help you get back together after a split.

One sure sign of impending love break up is the lack of physical contact. This doesn’t just mean sex. If your partner suddenly stops having an interest in sex, that’s a good sign that a break up is coming. But the normal flow and rhythm of a relationship has times when there’s lots of sex and times when there’s not much. This is natural.

A love break up is probably on the horizon though, if your partner stops holding your hand for no apparent reason, or he or she stops putting an arm over your shoulder at the movies or in public when he or she always did it before. Any sudden changes like not touching you much outside the bedroom, when your partner was always very affectionate before, could signal problems.

If it goes beyond not touching to the person actually becoming uncomfortable at your touch, then you definitely need to have a conversation with your partner about what’s going on. Don’t just assume that because your partner flinched away from your touch that there’s about to be a love break up, though. Many things can cause a person to not want to be touched at any given moment.

A person might have been thinking of something else and been surprised or startled by the touch. He or she might think that your touch signals that it’s time to have sex, if you’re not very affectionate except when you want to be intimate. And maybe your partner isn’t in the mood for sex now and chose to show you that by moving away from your touch. That doesn’t mean you’re headed for a love break up.

Your partner might simply not feel good. Every change in a person’s behavior doesn’t signal an impending love break up or even anything wrong with the relationship. You have to watch them closely for a while to determine if some behavior is an occasional thing, something brought on only during certain times, or if it’s a permanent part of the person’s make up.

Catching your partner in lies, even what seem like small and harmless ones, could be a sign of problems, too. After all, if a lie is small and harmless, why tell it in the first place? Where there’s one tiny lie, larger and more damaging lies can grow. Don’t become convinced it’s a love break up right away though. People lie about many things that aren’t bad, like surprise parties and reunions. Your partner might be trying to keep a harmless and fun secret like that, instead of scheming about a love break up.
