The 8 Stages of Break Up
Going through a breakup can be very excruciating. One can’t say “I’ve moved on already” when in the back of his or her head, he or she longed to be with his or her ex again. Don’t worry, coping up with heartaches is a step by step process that you have to get over with. Take cue from the following stages from a girl’s perspective:
Stage 1: Shock
You might be in disbelief that you are no longer with your boyfriend. It is as if a bom fell on you and you want the earth to open and eat you up. Listen, the first thing that you have to do is to absorb the numbing shock.
Stage 2: Denial
Stop convincing yourself that this is not for real. Wake up, girl! Realize that you’re in a denial stage. Accept that and honor the pain.
Stage 3: Numbness
Don’t say ok if you aren’t. Just let it out. Sometimes, you thought you’re over it because you don’t know what to call the feeling at this stage – numbness.
Stage 4: Fear
Ever heard of delusional fear? It is a product of over-thinking. So come to your senses and consider nothing but facts.
Stage 5: Anger
Who wouldn’t get mad to an ex? It is ok to harbor negative feelings only if you know how to let it out and when to stop. Rant or write a journal about your hatred toward your ex to calm you down and ease the pain. Anger should not destroy you, your ex and other people around you. Handle it enough to kill the pain. Breathe in, breathe out.
Stage 6: Depression
This could be the longest stage where you are more helpless and hopeless. It’s as if sadness won’t leave you. But don’t worry, this feeling will eventually subside. Hang out with your closest friends and bond with your siblings to celebrate life and be happier.
Stage 7: Understanding
Everything is getting clear. Now that you know that you weren’t meant for each other, you’re just a step way from completely getting over him.
Stage 8: Acceptance
By accepting what happened, you’re completing the healing process. During this recovery stage, you’re becoming more prepared for whatever might happen.
Take note that each stage may branch out to multiple stages, overlapping with each other and may even result to never-ending loop. It depends on different factors but you’re the only one who has the sole control over your life.
How to Get Your Ex Back?
After a breakup, mostly women are vulnerable as they have gone through an emotional breakdown. One of the most agonizing aspects of separation is when you come to know that you want him more than he wants you. Hints can be found via the magic of making up review which involves a lot of psychological tricks to tackle the problem of how to get him back.
The e-book sums up a romantic reconciling in 3 easy steps, first is to understand what is happening, then how to react to the situation and lastly taking steps towards getting your love back in the most effectual way. One important lesson the book teaches women (even the men, if they are listening) is that getting your ex-lover back isn’t as hard as your mind wants you to believe.
The book involves accessing your emotions to be able to understand if you are ready to start the conquest of winning him back. Another important suggestion it provides is the art of apologizing without sounding desperate and without hurting your self-respect. Lastly, the psychological tricks the book suggests requires a clean state of mind or else the tricks would trick you.
The answer here is in the book itself; it teaches you how to calm yourself post breakup and it readies the readers in the most effective way. Also, unlike some other books which solve the situation not the problem, ‘the magic of making up’ would help you later on as well.
Nurturing the Ability to Sustain a Relationship
When you enter into a relationship with someone special, it is not always easy to keep the relationship going without difficulties. You need to nurture this relationship in order to sustain it for a lifetime. Many couples who live together and/or eventually get married are not trained in how to sustain a relationship for a lifetime. The problem for many is that the steps in nurturing a relationship are not taught but are expected to be inherited. The truth is that no one inherits the ability to sustain a relationship.
Sustain a lasting relationship...
The ability to nurture any relationship may be a part of your natural capabilities or it may not. When you know that you really love someone and want to sustain the relationship over a period then you both will need to work on the things in your life to maintain the relationship. Many times people forget why they fell in love in the first place. Remember the good things about the other person that attracted them to you. The special things and the way you first felt when you were together. The special things in your life are what you need to nurture in order to sustain a lasting relationship.
The ability to sustain a relationship takes a lot of work from both parties. When you find that the pizazz has gone out of the relationship then you need to work hard to put the feelings back together again. Do a mental checklist of why you cared for this person and what makes them special. Then work to nurture the relationship so that you can sustain it the way it should be without all the problems. Problems are the number one killer of relationships. When you learn how to overcome the simple things in life then you will have the ability to sustain an ongoing relationship.

Happy 39th Monthsary!
Nothing special. Just like normal days, we texted each other with the usual greetings. “Happy monthsary, I love you” and that’s it.
Then by 11AM, he dropped by here at the office and we went out for lunch. This is just like the usual days, so I don’t want to call it a lunch date. 
Our love keeps on blooming just like my favorite flower...
What I did not expect this day is that he’ll wait for me until the end of shift which is 2PM. And right after work, we headed to Robinson Galleria to get a new hair cut. We’re now sporting great hair-do’s! Thanks to Mr. Sam of BenchFix.
We also bought Magic The Gathering booster packs from Neutral Grounds and got Sun Titan, Garruk The Wildspeaker and Day of Judgement. Rares that are worth mentioning. The other two are crap!
So happy to be with him!
Happy mothsary my dear and love you so much!

But this blog may also contain posts about happy and sad moments in a relationship. Rather, relationships. This is not all about me. This is all about lovers.
