Dwelling on the bad things won’t change those things. It’s better to think of all the good times you’ve spent together.

If someone is irrational, they won’t be smart enough to de-escalate an argument like this and resolve to fix the points brought up by their partner.

You need to find out what the negative motivation is that caused your ex to dump you, and then remove it. Because your ex was once in love with you, the removal of this negative motivation will make it significantly easier to make them fall in love with you again.

Your mind is blocking you from reality and is trying to maintain the idea you currently hold.

When a person feels their sense of control is being taken away, the person will immediately try to regain that control by doing the opposite of what they are asked.

How the event of the break up is handled will directly affect the speed and ease with which the person being broken up with recovers from losing this relationship.

We have been conditioned from an early age into believing that a happy successful relationship should involve constant passionate sex. If the sex wanes over time, though, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you care any less about your partner.

Sometimes, infatuation can blind us and make us think that it’s really love.

Emotions cause pain after a break up, not the other person.

Couples regularly share personal information with one another, so by sharing, you are helping to indirectly program the person’s mind that the both of you might be potential couple material.

Having an affair only results when one or both partners don’t realize that the intense “butterflies in your stomach” feeling that they feel initially won’t last forever.

It’s not just about physical attraction.
