HOW TO HANDLE THE TRUTH
(when a relationship is ending)
Boom. You feel like you have been hit by a ton of bricks. Chest caves in..little hard to breathe. You've heard:
"I cheated."
"It's over."
"I'm not leaving her."
"I don't love you anymore."
These are devastating statements especially if they are unexpected and not mutual. So how do you pick up the pieces from hearing these crushing relationship breakers from the one you love?
One, congratulate yourself for recognizing you may be broken and need to "pick up the pieces." It's ok to be sad, and grieve your relationship. But at some point, there is acceptance. Very important first step.
