When relationships end, sometimes it's for the best and other times it's not. Letting go of a relationship can be very difficult so let me share with you some things that may help.

Make a List of the Positive Traits 

The first thing you want to do is take a deep breath and let all the hurt go for a moment. Do you want to save this relationship or just let it go? The best way to decide this is to weigh all the positive things against the negative. Write down all the good things about your ex. What were their positive traits, what did you love about them, why were you attracted to them in the first place, did you have a lot in common, did you enjoy being together, did you have a lot to talk about, were you interested in the same things, did you like the same kind of music, did you have the same religious beliefs, did you enjoy the same kind of movies, did you like the same kinds of food, did you have the same moral beliefs, write everything down about them that you loved and admired.

Make a List of the Negative Traits 

Now that you have that list in place, it's time to write down all the negative things you didn't like about them. Were their trust issues, did you not feel you were compatible, where you not attracted to them, did you not have the same family values, were you not interested in the same things, did you argue about when to settle down, were your spiritual beliefs different, did you have different ideas about commitment, did you not enjoy the physical relationship, write everything down you can think of. Now weigh the positive against the negative.

Ask Yourself "Why" 

If you are thinking about wanting to get back with your ex, ask yourself why? If you think that you can't live without them or that you can't survive without them in your life, think again. Let's be honest here, you will survive so don't let that be the reason you want them back. Now that we have that cleared up, let's move on.

If you have decided that your relationship is worth fighting for, you need to have a plan for getting in touch with them and addressing these issues. You need to not act out of desperation but from a place of love. Remember that letting go of a relationship is never easy and neither is mending a broken heart.
