Break-ups, Separation & Divorce

No one enters into a relationship wanting it to end, or predicting it to fail. Unfortunately, not every relationship can withstand its preferred duration and break-ups can be inevitable. We would like to think that every separation can be civil, thoughtful and stress-free, however the reality is that it is seldom the case.

The termination of a relationship can be an extremely difficult time in a persons life, in which most would like to try and forget, but how much of that break-up or previous relationship do you carry with you post-separation? It can be the simple fact that a person can be totally unaware that they posses anything from the relationship or what effect it has had on them. It can lay dormant until an attempt to enter into a new relationship where the effects can be seen.

Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.

It is often heard that a person has been scarred from a relationship or that they have been burnt by their previous spouse. This is dangerous territory and how the person handles issues post break-up can redefine who they are emotionally.

It is extremely common for one to become guarded, cautious and emotionally absent in these times. This is a defense mechanism for the heart which automatically activates to protect itself from further hurt.

Never regret. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience. - Victoria Holt

Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all. - St. Augustine
