Surely many have experienced the fact that they were forced to break up with a person. And in such a situation, some were going to remain friends. What to do in such a situation? Usually, after a breakup, a person is prostrated and confused, he is not used to being alone. And the other, who is the initiator of the friendship, hopes that their relationship can begin again. And there is an opinion that remaining friends is better than experiencing severe stress or realizing the loss of a loved one. It is important to understand that this is an illusion that is used to reassure oneself. If you two decide that it is time to separate, then you should do it with gratitude. Give free rein to your feelings, realize them and express them in a convenient way. And then think about your true desires and begin to realize them. Along the way, ask yourself what you feel for your ex-partner? What gnaws at you or what makes you smile when you remember past happy moments? What feelings did you experience when you were in a relationship? with this partner? Were you comfortable or, on the contrary, did you experience terrible discomfort? Many people try to drown out the pain of losing a relationship by trying to enter into new ones as early as possible in order to plunge headlong into new feelings. Hoping that there will be no time to even think about the old ones. This situation can only bring relief for a short time, and then “reckoning” will follow in the form of quarrels or scandals. Your new partner will not understand what is happening and both of you will not experience the happiest emotions. To build a new relationship, you will need to understand yourself and understand that you are ready and open to new things. Understand that you are confident in yourself, you have no fears and you were not provoked into a relationship by long loneliness. If you are experiencing problems and worries about a new relationship or you are still tormented by ghosts and echoes of old ones, I can help you cope with this problem. @ Lyubov Bazhenova.
