A breakup is an extremely difficult thing to go through, no matter how old you are or how long you’ve been in the relationship.
Things can end after a few dates, after a few years of dating, during an engagement, or sometimes even after several years of marriage.
Sometimes you feel that the end is near, and other times you have no idea that it was about to happen.
For most of us, breaking up is a devastating experience.
It’s no wonder there are so many love songs about breaking up, whether it’s heartbreak, betrayal, or difficulty moving on.
Maybe it was you who was evicted.
Life without a partner can seem unimaginable and you may not know how to move on.
Maybe you want to tell your ex that you’re not doing well after the breakup and that you’re not over it.
Maybe you have some unresolved feelings and things you still need to say.
Or maybe you’ve decided to end things with the other person.
After a breakup, things either end well or end badly.
A separation can be mutual or unilateral.
Maybe you want to check in on your ex to make sure he’s okay.
Or would you like to apologize for how things ended?
It is possible that you want him to stay away and you prefer that he not contact you.
You may even be someone very close to a person who is going through a breakup.
Maybe you are this person’s best friend and would like to know how to help them get over it.
