Why is breaking up so hard to do?

Question

i just can't seem to tell this guy goodbye...we are not made for one another but i gave it a chance..i don't want to hurt him although i know it will..is there an easy way to say goodbye...

Answer 1

sayin ggoodbye is never easy......

i say if something hurts, hopefully we can learn from our experience and not repeat it!  

breaking up is so hard to do because we become attatched...to our hopes, and to our expectations.

let go of the hope that you would be 'made for each other', and the expectation that you would have the fairy tale ending this time around.

is there something you have learned from him, or this experience?....lets hope so. life is a school and we are the pupils.  

and hey, what doesnt kill us only makes us stronger.....more able to know what we want from our next relationship!

ps....the less you think about him or what couldve been, the easier it will be to move on.
