When a relationship comes to an end, whether it is amicable or not, both partners will look for closure so they can move on. The practical side of divorce or separation might be simple in comparison to the emotional turmoil that typically follows.
There are many reasons you might be bitter in the wake of a breakup, and it’s not always the person who is on the receiving end of the breakup that feels bitter. The person who decides to end the relationship might also become bitter if their vision of life after the breakup isn’t what they had hoped for.
With this in mind, we’re looking at some of the strategies you could employ to help move on from a breakup without allowing bitterness to consume you.
Your friends and family might be tired of hearing about your relationship breakdown, but a professional will always have time for you. Seeking specialist help for your divorce proceedings is expected, so why wouldn’t you also seek specialist help for the emotional side of things?
It can help you to work through some of the feelings that make you think that you need closure. After a few sessions, you might discover you can move forward without closure or bitterness.
The first method is to take responsibility for your role in the breakup. You might feel that you don’t have a part to play if you were blindsided by the ****, but this could simply mean that you had become complacent. And if you truly are faultless in the breakup, look at what you could do to make sure you don’t end up in the same type of relationship again. This kind of proactive thinking is one of the best things you can do to counteract the bitterness.
We often want closure when a relationship has ended without reason, but a person who ends a relationship without really telling you why they want to end it is simply the wrong person for you. If they lack the emotional maturity to treat you with compassion, then you should really be grateful that the relationship is over and you are able to meet someone who can meet your emotional needs.
What follows bitterness is often the tendency to turn the blame on ourselves. We think that if we could be more lovable, more valuable, then we wouldn’t be treated this way.
But this neglects the most important thing you need to remember in relationships: the way someone treats you has nothing to do with your value or worth, and everything to do with their relationship with themselves. So rather than feeling bitter towards your ex, you can choose to treat yourself with compassion, and feel grateful that this chapter of your life is now over.
The most important part of moving on and finding closure after a breakup is to fall in love with yourself again. By falling in love with yourself, you will be reminded of why your relationship was so great. Your contribution to the relationship was likely a key part of why you feel so attached to it. The opportunity to love another person is a wonderful thing, but it shouldn’t come at the expense of loving yourself.
You don’t have to find closure when you know your own worth and value, because you’ll know that this person simply wasn’t right for you. And this means that the relationship wasn’t a failure; you just grew out of it. By letting go and learning to love your own company again, you’ll make space to find someone who is better aligned with what you are looking for.
Major family law refers to the key legal principles and regulations governing family relationships, such as marriage, divorce, child custody, and adoption. It ensures the protection of individual rights within family units while balancing societal interests. Major areas include spousal support, property division, and parental responsibilities. Courts consider the best interests of the child in custody and visitation cases. Family law also addresses domestic violence and protective orders. It varies by jurisdiction, but its primary goal remains the resolution of disputes and the promotion of fairness and stability within families. Legal professionals often assist in negotiation, mediation, or court proceedings.
