Are you wondering how to get over a painful break up? Well, have you ever heard the expression “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”?
As you start your break up recovery you can focus on how to get stronger for that next big relationship in your life. You may need to do a pulse check to make sure your heart is still beating, but more than likely it still is. While losing this relationship may have caused your heart to stop for a little while, it will beat again. While you are learning that your heart will go on, try focusing on some things that will help you from repeating mistakes that may have been made in your last relationship so you don’t go through them again. Here are some things that might help you in the future.
Become secure in yourself. If you want to have a relationship that is secure, then try being more secure. If you need therapy then get it. Find ways to feel good about yourself and expect nothing but the best. If this new relationship is going to be grounded, it will need someone to be grounded in. Don’t expect it to be the new person. Don’t look for security in the new love. Look for it in yourself. Not only will this help you in the way you look and feel about yourself, it will help you look more attractive to others.
Responsibility should be shared. In many failed relationships most of the work is done by only one person. A good and solid relationship takes two people putting in equal effort. If both people are working towards the relationship’s success then it will most likely endure. Look for and expect a 50-50 split in the load shared. This may mean more work from you and it may mean holding your new partner to a higher standard. In either case it is well worth it. If someone isn’t working in it, you have to question just how important it is to them. If both don’t see the value then there might not be much to work for.
Learn to communicate better and more lovingly. Communication break down is often one of the symptoms and sometimes the cause of a failed relationship. It could mean you learning to talk more or less. Train yourself to listen more. Ask for your new love’s opinions on things and don’t dominate discussions. Don’t allow them to dominate your discussions either. You have a voice, use it to voice your concerns and feelings. A key to learning how to communicate better is in training ourselves to respond better. Does your initial response sound harsh or defensive? Your tone and word choice can make situations much worse than they need to be.
The key to having a successful break up recovery is to come out of it better, stronger, and smarter becoming more prepared for the next relationship. What will make the difference between success and failure is what you bring into the relationship and how you come into it.

My girlfriend (31)recently broke up from a long relationship (15 years)6 months ago and 1 month ago she said she needed a break and i have given here one (1 month so far).
I asked her if she loves me and she says that she does ,then asked are you in love with me and she said she just feels numb when she thinks of me.And has been drinking very excessively with and without me and is still continuing to .I know she does not want her ex back AT ALL.
She said she can’t see us living together ,i asked her what she wants out of life when she told me it was over and she said that she doesn’t know .
She thought she wanted the 2.4 children and marriage but now she doesn’t know.i said do you want someone else and she said that she doesn’t want anyone.But one month prior to this and for a long time she has been telling me the previous.
Is it that she wants a break after being in such a long relationship with someone or to find herself again(i was affetionate and supportive and her ex was not and think that this freaked her out a bit)??
Or is it as she say’s the end of our relationship??
How long did it take you to recover(with or without a new partner) if you have you been in the same position??

We had a rlship for a year, until he had a one night stand so I dumped him.
He spent 4 months on a campaign to get me back.
I said yes, then after a few months the rlship wasnt good so I dumped him.
Now its 6 months later and I want to try again with him but he says he doesnt love me anymore.
I know thats not true! I know when a man loves me.
but he is adamant we are not getting back together, i have been asking him for months now.
He doesnt have a new partner yet.
What do I do???

What is going through my EX’s head! what can i do? Why would my ex bf get off with his new partner in front of me in bar, when we bumped into each other? But couldn’t stop starring across in my direction all night, and giving evils to the person i was out with that night, who happened to be a friend. Really confusing behavior! They ended the relationship several months back.
They keep warming to me and running! they put update on facebook saying ‘hungover and disappointed in myself’ then deleted me from facebook a week later! no contact since..
This week my ex unblocked me from MSN, making excuse to get in touch for a dvd.. he will be online, but doesnt initiate conversation. He has just joined somewhere that i go to…
He got in touch again, hinting how he could get his DVD back.. saying post or would you like to meet in person? but won’t come flat out and ask to meet, he gives me the options… then asked ‘if im STILL single’ but nothing else!!!
He still keeps hinting about the DVD, so decided to leave it at the gym for him so he can pick up. Forcing him to stop hiding behind this reason any longer…
Bumped into him again last night, he asked if i wanted to go for coffee before xmas and said i was looking hot. He also came straight over and asked if the person paying me attention was my new partner (it wasn’t)
Keeps getting in touch in small ways since.. but is very proud and doesnt like to admit they are wrong
