How do you rebuild independence after a long relationship ends?
Cupid’s Advice:
When a relationship strengthens over time, so does your dependence on your partner. Here are a few ways to rebuild your independence after a break up:
1. Take control of your money: In long relationships, it’s not uncommon to have shared bank accounts and investments. Separating your funds from your partner’s is one of the quickest ways to reassert your independence.
2. Be wary of mutual friends: After a long time with your partner, the two of you most likely have mutual friends. Though it can be disheartening, strictly sorting your friends post-breakup will help you move on. Contact with mutual friends will only remind you of your ex.
3. Visit your family: One of the best ways to heal after a break-up is by visiting your friends and family. Those closest to you will help you remember how you were before your relationship and will also help you move forward.
