Time is short, and mistakes in relationships can be costly. Here's why a breakup may actually be good for you, writes LewandowskiPhD
The Good and Bad of Breakups
Nearly everyone experiences a breakup at some point. It hurts, but we found our way through. Not only that, we learn things along the way: who not to date, how to handle conflict, and how to identify warning signs of toxicity. We also learn how to move on. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Our greatest glory is not in never failing but in rising up every time we fail.”
Obviously, it’s not always this easy. But recognizing that positive breakups exist suggests a path forward. Here’s some data to help. When I asked participants who had their long-term relationship end in the past three months about their breakup experience, 33% said it was negative overall . However, even though participants hadn’t found a new relationship, 41% said the breakup was positive overall.Relationships should help you grow. Your partner should help you be a better person.
