How Break Ups Can Keep You from Marrying the Wrong Person

                                     How break ups can keep you from marrying the wrong person?

Introduction

We know breakups are the most disastrous events that can happen to anyone as breakups are just like accident on the road. It marks the separation of your loved one.

I understand that. But we have to muster the courage to consider this event as an eye opener. It gives insight about the person whom we used to love. Breakups are the eye opener to the mistakes that we do while choosing our life partner. We get to know about the qualities of an ideal life partner.

You get an insight of world and learn to control your emotions and focus on yourself. Remember today's pain will be tomorrow's strength. Remember he/she is in opportunity to get rid of you.



Nature of breakups

Breakups are painful, especially when you were with your partner for a long time. Conversely, we never go into relationships wanting them to end but there are always things that are going to be out of your control.

 It’s normal to grieve for a while as you take your time accepting what has happened but at some point you’re going to have to pull yourself together because the longer you spend your time sulking over what transpired, the harder it will be to pull yourself out of this quagmire.

 

Why we break up?

Every relationship is unique, and you (or your other half) will have your own reasons for calling it quits. But research suggests that most breakups have one of eight broad causes: a desire for more autonomy, a lack of shared interests or character traits, a lack of support, a lack of openness, a lack of loyalty, a lack of time spent together, a lack of fairness, or a lack of romance. (Interestingly, for women, a desire for autonomy is one of the main reasons for a split.)

YOUR PAIN IS REAL

Brain research shows that rejection experiences in a break-up can activate the same areas of the brain that physical pain or distress do.  Especially in women, a break-up can cause cardiac pain and shortness of breath.  The pain is both emotional and physiological, which means it can be very intense.

Also consider that toxic love is the most dangerous thing than breakup. You should say thank you to these people who give gift of breakup to you for giving a chance to find life partner better than them. If they loved you then after breakup they would like to be friends with you or give something that will be helpful to you later in life. If you are burden to them or if they loved somebody they would like to be cut off from you.

How we break up?

 Breakups aren’t accidents, and unless infidelity is involved, they’re usually not spur-of-the-moment decisions. Thus if you’re heartbroken, remind yourself that your partner likely arrived at their conclusion after a substantial amount of time and reflection.

 An analysis of individual breakup points, published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, shows just how complex and expansive the process of separation can be. The authors identified 16 steps that occur before the final breakup. Though these events don’t always happen in this order, it may comfort you to know that the decision probably wasn’t easy.

 16 steps before final breakup

 

1. A partner loses interest in his or her significant other.

 

2. Next, the disinterested partner starts to notice attractive alternative options, who could make potential dating partners.

 

3. Then, the disinterested partner begins to withdraw from the relationship emotionally and/or physically.

 

4. The partners try to work things out.

 

5. The partners spend less time together.

 

6. A lack of interest resurfaces again.

 

7. One partner, or perhaps this time both of them, consider ending things permanently.

 

8. The partners communicate their feelings with each other.

 

9. The partners try to work things out again.

 

10. Despite still trying to work things out, one or both begin to notice other people.

 

11. One or both partners begin to act distant.

 

12. One or both may go on dates with other people, while still seeing each other.

 

13. The cycle repeats itself as the partners decide to get back together again and try one last time.

 

14. One or both partners consider breaking up again.

 

15. One or both seriously distance themselves and gain a feeling of having moved on, while still technically being in the relationship.

 

16. The couple breaks up.

 And if your breakup was a messy one, take solace in the fact that most of them are. In a survey from polling firm YouGov, 58% of respondents said that their relationships tend to end dramatically, while only a quarter said their splits are usually civil.

Look for these traits

Some are like time passers that is they would like to be with everyone for their enjoyment.  Some are like they will manipulate you emotionally. Some are like two timers ie dating two people at the same time. May be they think that you do not fit into their expectations ie they feel that you cannot cater to their future self needs. Some are like taking advantage of your goodness. Some are like having high affinity for money. Some play psychological games to keep you trapped in their web of deceit by guilt tripping you, gaslighting you, or by method of triangulation. Some manipulate you to gain control over relationships by love bombing, isolation, trivializing, shifting blame, overpowering, withholding.

Remember cheating is a choice not a mistake. Loyality is a responsibility not a choice.

A note on triangulation

In this, a third person is invvited into the picture of a two-person situation. This can be an ex-partner, a friend, or even a family member. The manipulator brings into use this third person so as to create rivalry, jealousy, or animosity.

 The goal here is to gain control.

 It will be a nice decision of you if you take a step back and practice no contact if you enter in a situation where someone is repeatedly comparing you to another person or pitting you against others. It’s likely the triangulation.

Conclusion

Try to recognize these mind games so that you will be able to maintain your emotional health and independence.

Remember relationships are built on mutual respect, understanding and platonic love—not mind games and control.

These mind games can destroy your mental health.

Do you know what is platonic love. Well I will tell you. A platonic relationship can be defined as the relationship in which two people share a close bond but do not have any sexual activity. They may even experience love for each other, referred to as platonic love. This concept originates in the ideas of the ancient philosopher Plato, who believed that platonic love could bring people closer to a divine ideal and also to god.

  

The platonic relationship focused on the idea that people can be close friends without sexual desire.

 

People who are in platonic relationship have deep a connection, but they also take into consideration each other's personal space and respect them. They don't indulge in forcing the other person to do things they don't want to do or be something that they are not.

Thus breakups protects you from marrying a wrong person.
