If you’ve let date night go by the wayside entirely, try to carve out some time to reconnect at least weekly.

The less information you have about your ex, the better.

3. You’re Going Through the Motions

They support you and the relationship when you aren’t in the room.

3. Don’t neglect YOUR people or force your lover to neglect theirs.

People run toward whatever they were lacking in the failed relationship without taking the time to evaluate what they want.

They really seem like they want to meet up but each time you hint (or outright suggest) about seeing them in person, they stall.

If your default emotions are negative, you’re going to get more negativity and lack. Instead, start looking forward.

Sometimes it seems like there’s just not enough hours in the day for the responsibilities you do have, let alone optimizing anything.

Boundaries are the invisible lines that we create in relationships that both keep us happy and prevent us from being taken advantage of

You feel like you’ve put in too much time to give up now. Once we start a relationship, stopping feels like we’re losing our investment.

Spending time together has stopped being a priority. Time for each other feels like it has become an afterthought.
