What you need to know:

  • You wonder whether you were right to end the relationship, or whether your ex has really left.
  • Gradually though, you do start to make sense of what happened, even if you still feel bruised by it all.

Even when a relationship was awful, the break-up can still be painful. There’s a real sense of loss, and dealing with that can be very difficult. 

Fortunately, there’s a pattern to the recovery from a failed relationship, and even just knowing that makes everything a little easier.
