Broken Heart Rehab

Posts Tagged ‘Cheating’

Making the decision to break up is a big one, and one that requires a lot of consideration. Keep in mind, however, that not all roads lead to a break up. There are times when a make-up is better than a break up. In trying to figure out whether you want to make (or break) the relationship, ask yourself the following:

•Can you forgive the person for what happened?
•Are you and your significant other willing to meet halfway to try to work on overcoming the recent relationship challenge?
•Do you honestly believe that you can move past and accept (without resentment) what happened between you and your significant other?

Remember that one of the benefits of being in a relationship with another person is to feel happy and grow.  If you can’t answer yes to either of the questions above, happiness and growth may me a problem.

If you answered no to any of the questions above, you should spend some time deciding and discussing with your significant other what’s in each of your respective best interests to make up or break up.

Have you caught your significant other getting frisky with someone else? If you answered yes, don’t spend your time carving your name into the leather seats of his or her car (shout out to Carrie Underwood fans!); spend your time figuring out how you’re going to rehab your heart through positive, fun activities that you enjoy!

There are too many eligible daters in this word in this world to waste your time with someone that doesn’t treat you the way you deserve to be treated. We don’t mean to get all “Dr. Phil” on you, but, through our own experiences, we know that the best way to heal a broken heart is to put the pieces together yourself.

This recovery period doesn’t involve a detailed analysis of why the person did it. We know why: she or he has no self-control. As much as they blame it on the ah-ah-ah-cohol (we’re full of music references, eh?), you need your own time to regroup and figure out if the person can give you what you want from the relationship. This does not involve asking:

(1) Are you still talking to the person you cheated with?

(2) Why did you cheat?

(3) What did I do wrong?

(4) When did it start?

(5) How many times did you cheat?

These questions are counterproductive, and won’t make you feel better. The only question you should be asking him is when he’s going to take his toothbrush out of your toothbrush holder.
