1: Allow yourself the space and time to grieve the relationship without wallowing in your grief. When there has been arelationship breakup,it’s often tempting to wallow in your pain—to play music thatreminds you ofyour old partner, to visit places where you went together as a couple,and toconstantly think about that other person. If you find yourself doing this and it is causing you pain, stop doing
it. Take time to cry everyday if you need to but don't keep yourself stuck in it by focusing on what was.

2: Begin learning how to build relationship trust.  When there has been a breakup and
you have beenhurt, it’s often difficult to open your heart one more time. Take the time tobegin learning to trust again and that begins with learning to trust yourself first. It doesn't mean rushing into dating again but it does mean learning to trust yourself and your ability to discern what it is that you want. Take some time and decide what you
do want.

where your partner cheated on you. You may have low self-esteem issues. You may have had a habit of flirting withpeople other than your partner to get your partner’s
attention. Whatever the reason,jealousy eventually tends to destroy relationships and the time to heal it isnow as you examine what happened in your last relationship and
take responsibility for healing within yourself.
