You’ve broken up. You aren’t really sure it’s the right thing to do. In fact, you’d prefer to stay together and try to work things out. But for now, the relationship appears over.
Even if you hope to make again eventually and rebuild the relationship, after the break up, try a property exchange. Give back the personal belongings, the special books, the homemade items, the pictures, all the things that remind you of your ex. If it’s a gift you received, box it up for now. You don’t want anything around the house to remind you of your ex.
If there are any money issues, get them resolved. You want to eliminate – in a calm, rational manner – all the items that have presented themselves as problems between you. Once this is accomplished, mutually agree to discontinue communications for the next thirty days. You’ll each have your own space and time to disengage from the relationship.
You do this because the best way to rebuild a relationship is to first step back from it and give yourself a time for proper perspective.
