How to deal with the ex

It is very hard and very painful to deal with a break-up in a marriage or a relationship. Throughout a relationship, there are plenty of things you might have to deal but once you are out of a relationship, it is best to move on and stay happy.

Bear the emotions

You felt like crying your eyes out when you saw your ex first time after walking out of the relationship? Well it is pretty natural to feel or express regret and sorrow over what you have done and why you did it. You might ponder over the similar thought again and again, finding the reason for your break-up may find yourself stuck in an uncontrollable emotional outburst. What you should do is stay calm, positive and most importantly take care of yourself. Divert your mind and do the things you like. Go for shopping or treat yourself with a good fine dinner. Reach out to your family and friends whom you may have been ignoring all this while and keep yourself away from the upsetting thoughts. There may be hundred of emotions lurking inside you, but they will hardly come out. So try forgetting whatever has happened and move on.

Don’t lose your mind, use it

Stay positive and look at the brighter side of a break-up. Instead of crying over it, try to think out the possible things that were keeping you uncomfortable and unhappy in this relationship. If, sometimes you feel as though you have done a mistake, then ask yourself why did you actually want to walk out and how logical it was. Be thankful to god for a good relationship and cherish the memory of togetherness. You might have had a very successful marriage or a good relationship but no matter what, nothing can bring that time back. If you look back at little glimpses of your memories with your ex, you will be grateful for them. Some bad phases that happened in your relationship will keep on haunting and upsetting you but they are of no use anymore. You have already taken your step and moved out. Now remember the good times and stay strong.

Curb the jealousy

You are probably not going to handle this right. No matter even if it was you who broke up with your ex, seeing him/her with another person might make jealousy intrude into your mind. It will surely hurt to see your ex cuddling in arms of some other person. You will want to cry out loud, scream, run away and isolate yourself in some invisible place, but at the end, you would have to realize that it has nothing to do with you. It is just your ex having his/her life and that should no more matter to you in any way. If it was your ex who had caused your break-up, then expect to feel anger and betrayal, because you have a right to feel that way. But do not freak out and mess up things further by causing a scene, even if you do see your ex with another person, as that will only make the matters worse.

Enjoy the freedom

Initially you will feel like running away, hiding yourself and crying your eyes out but it is not going to help you in any way. The best thing to do is to accept that you are no longer involved with the person whom you once loved a lot. Keep your own sanity and stop calling him or her. Do not think about him/her and keep your gripes to yourself. Say a big no to seduction. You no longer belong to him so do not even think of getting physically involved with him/her, whatever he or she says and however good he or she appears. Stand firm, be strong in your mind and do not fall for his/her prey. In case you think that your ex is being callous then do not bow down to his/her standards. Keep your dignity high and ignore whatever he/she says. You do not need to care if he/she is sad or angry. Now the only thing that makes difference is that you are no longer a part of those feelings.

Get over it

The most important thing to remember is that you have your own life. No doubt your ex was a major part of your life and someone you loved the most but there are many other people who have the same importance in your life, or even more than him/her. Stop thinking about a broken-up relationship and a person who is no longer with you. Instead call up your family and friends and spend time with them. This will help you heal faster and you will no longer feel alone or depressed. Family and friends are the biggest mental support and will give you mental strength and moreover, having your family around will keep you stable too. Cope with your grief and start living a new life. Be prepared to not to be as happy as you were, all of a sudden, and take things slowly.
