Moving on after a bad breakup seems impossible. Those romantic nights sharing fine wine, laughter, lingering kisses and breathtaking magical moments are over. All your hopes and dreams have been snatched away from you, those bliss filled fantasies of forever after now cease to exist. This can't be happening! You're hoping that this is all a bad nightmare and that you shall wake with him/her nestled within your loving arms. Reality hurts too much, you wish to return to that wonderful time when dreams came true and love was intense. Sorry, but the relationship is over, he/she wants out and there's nothing you can do about it but accept it's happened. Yes, you no doubt feel as if you have been struck by a lightning bolt, it's all happened so suddenly. You can't fathom that a relationship which appeared to have been made in heaven is now over.

Unfortunately relationship break-ups usually happen when everything seems so perfect. One day the skies are clear and the sun is smiling down on you, the next day the clouds have moved in and the raindrops are accompanying your tears. Heartbroken, you experience a plethora of emotions, shock, anger, humiliation, disappointment, despair and so much more. By this time you feel as if your sanity is questionable, you weep and perhaps behave like a baby crying for its mother. You want your prized possession back ( your partner ) and you want it now!

Unfortunately we own nobody, ultimately we must come to terms with the reality of the situation. Once the break-up begins to sink in you may beg for another chance, cry and plead for the return of what you once had. It seems unbelievable that all that time you shared, all the promises and sweet endearments seem so irrelevant now. No matter how long the relationship lasted the pain will still be just the same. If you have just broken up with your partner follow the tips below to help you get over the break up.

Sever the ties completely:

Once you have broken up it's better to leave it as such. Wishing to remain friends forever will only give you false hope. Sever the ties completely, remove his/her number from your cell phone, erase their address from your address book, delete their email address. Don't ask about him or her when you see mutual friends, you will add to your heartache.

Let your feelings out:

Don't attempt to suppress your emotions, this can do more harm than good. Scream, rant, rave, cry, be angry and indulge in a little self pity, bottling up hurt never helped anybody.
