A breakup is a difficult thing to deal with, and it is hard on you and your ex. There are a great number of hurt emotions and feelings, and the act of surviving a breakup will involve a great deal of personal strength. This task may seem daunting, especially with a big void in your chest. You cannot easily fill that void with anything, it is that painful and difficult to handle. What you should consider, however, is that you are not the first couple to break up and you will not be the last. You should take solace in that you and your partner will survive and will be moving forward.

When you are faced with the task of trying to surviving a breakup, there are a number of tips which will lead you towards surviving the breakup. The first step is to not bottle up the pain. One cannot go through life without pain. Breaking up with a loved one is emotionally the same as the death of one. You should know that you will be hurt and that it is okay to break down a little and cry as needed. You should write down stuff, you should scream, you should do whatever is needed to let all of the pain out and move on.

Once you have reached a clear and calm state, you are now ready to evaluate things and try and find out where you and your partner are in the relationship. Knowing where you are will allow you and yours to make the right decision. More times than not, you will find that the relationship is truly over. This is something that you and your ex partner needs to come to terms with. Once you are at terms with things, you take the next step.

When you have come to the decision not to let the relationship continue, you and your ex needs to remove the overlaps in your lives. This includes property that you two have exchanged and are left at the other’s home. This sort of negotiation and separation is to ensure that nothing is left as an emotional landmine later on in your lives. Once the two of you have completely separated, then what you should do is to perform a finalizing ritual. This is a symbolic event which will involve letting an effigy of your ex go, via destroying it or some other task. You could burn one of their letters, their photo, throw away their leftovers, and delete their files off your computer and so on. This symbolic gesture is for your benefit.

At this point, you should use whatever support that is available to you. This can be friends, family, and other loved ones that can provide an emotional support net for you.  Even though you have done what you can to soften the blow of the break up, you will still face turbulence. As a result you will need all of the help you can get as you are surviving a breakup.

Let me give you a hypothetical scenario that I see way too often. First you have the man who we will call Bob who because of his job works very long hours. Now Sarah on the other hand is at home meeting the children’s needs and wants and Bob feels that she just does not have time for him anymore. So can this relationship be saved? Well here are some things you can do to shore up your relationship with your mate.

Now the very first step is to decide whether the relationship is actually worth saving. Almost every relationship can be saved but it takes hard work. If only one person decides to work on the relationship then it will not work out. Little can be done to convince someone who truly does not want to continue to be with you. However, I would like to point out that this is not impossible.

Unfortunately many people stay in a bad relationship because it is just convenient. Or rather they stay in the marriage for the sake of the children. Is this enough? Hardly! Both parties in the relationship must be able to see that the relationship is actually worth saving.

The very next step is to pinpoint where the problem is in the first place. Sometimes many people believe that the symptoms to the problems are the real problems where there actually may be an underlying cause of the difficulty in the relationship.

For many people the belief that an affair is the root of the problem in a failing relationship. Truth of the matter is that most of the time an affair is just a symptom of a much greater problem. True intimacy is lacking in the relationship. If there is no real intimacy in the relationship then this problem will keep cropping up in different manifestations such as pornography.

The point that you start to actually save a relationship is when you are actually dealing with the core issues in the relationship.

Once the core problem has been identified you can begin to actually work on the problem by sharing your thoughts. This however means verbalizing feelings and also listening to your partners thoughts as well. Sometimes however in the course of doing this feelings can be hurt because what you are sharing is really personal and meant to strike a cord with the other person. However, this is a sign for you to possibly work on yourself in the relationship and become a better person. See this as an opportunity to save more time with someone you truly love rather then an attack on you.

Saving a relationship just takes time and you should give your relationship adequate time to repair the damage that has been done. Spend some time every night talking to your spouse. It is through clear and open communication that a relationship can be saved.
