Relationship Breakup
When Is Your Breakup Season?
If you're still together with your significant other, you've got 22 more days until you're out of the danger zone according to January's issue of Shape. Research shows that 56 percent of breakups happen between Thanksgiving and Valentine's Day. Sure, the holidays are a stressful time for everyone, but I would have thought that more people would break up once Spring had sprung, not when you want a warm body to cuddle up with.
Have You Ever Been Blindsided by a Breakup?
If you've been following the saga of Jessica Simpson's love life, you may have heard that the singer was blindsided by her recent breakup with football star Tony Romo.
While there may be a fine line between normal relationship troubles and serious warning signs, I think most people get a feeling that something's up before one partner decides the relationship has run its course. Still, I have a few friends who have been completely caught off guard when their significant others decided it was time to become exes.
Dear Poll: After a Breakup, Do You Prefer to Talk or Cut Off All Ties?
There's no doubt about it, breakups are tough. Some people stay in their relationships longer than they should and others cut straight to the point and end things when they know it's not meant to be — since there's no right way, I say to each their own. But since ending a long-term romantic relationship can feel somewhat like a death, some couples try to hold onto whatever they can as a way to ease into single life.
You Asked: My Boyfriend Dragged Me Through the Mud
Dear Sugar,
I was with my ex for three years — we lived together and pretty much grew up together. We have been broken up for two months and it's been the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with — moving my stuff out was extremely painful. All I ever do is think about him and our old life.
Things You Forget During a Breakup
Breaking up is like being forced to climb onto an emotional rollercoaster that goes way too fast and lasts far too long. In the midst of all those competing emotions, it’s easy to find yourself obsessing over it. I have a few reminders about those things that might slip your mind in the wake of a difficult breakup.
You Asked: Why Do I Feel So Terrible?
Dear Sugar,
After seven years of dating my boyfriend, I broke up with him. I had known in my heart for a while that I couldn't marry him and I had been very unhappy for a long time. Among many other problems, I felt that he wasn't attentive enough.
You Asked: Is This My Second Chance?
Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend of two and a half years broke up with me almost three months ago. I was devastated and completely broken-hearted, but I realized that by breaking up with me, he actually saved my life. I had been slowly falling into a deep depression over the last four months of our relationship and denied every bit of it to myself.
You Asked: How Do I Deal With a Breakup?
Dear Sugar,
I met a guy who was coming out of a five-year relationship with a girl who was his first love. He even asked her to marry him, but she said no. He was a mess, and I was the friend, then the friend-with-benefits, then the more-than-friends, and then his new girlfriend.
You Asked: Am I Overreacting About Their Cat Connection?
Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend and I have been dating for about six months, and he's been sharing custody of his cat with his ex-girlfriend throughout our entire relationship. I am all for loving your animal like part of the family, but this is just driving me crazy. The cat travels back and forth between the two of them, which means they are constantly connected.
Do Tell: How Do You Handle a Breakup?
Unless you end up marrying your high-school sweetheart, it’s nearly impossible to avoid a breakup over the course of your dating experiences. And while there are some relationships that end mutually and amicably, for the most part, breaking up hurts.
I’m always surprised at the different ways people deal with the pain of a breakup.
