Regretful Breakups - When You Regret Breaking Up With Someone

Have you recently broken off a relationship and regret breaking up with someone? You're regret may be justified but before you decide sit back and consider the reasons that you broke off the relationship.

Some break ups that occur are rash as we may act on pure emotion regarding something that happened in the relationship. Other break ups are thought out and occur over time. Whether a break up is based on a rash, unanticipated act or something that you have planned to do there are usually substantial and significant reasons for the act of breaking up to occur. Once the break up has occurred and you now have time to analyze why will you regret breaking up with that someone?

Have you ever been in a relationship where something happened that made you so mad that you ended the relationship in the heat of an arguement? It's a fairly common occurrence. After this occurs have you ever come to realize that you acted rashly and now regret the break up? This type of break up may have begun as an idle threat but as the argument continues your partner calls your bluff and before you know it you are broken up. The best way to avoid this is to never threaten a break up in the middle of an argument. It is best to let the argument run its natural course. Part ways after that and let your emotions cool for a couple of days. Once you have calmed down revisit the relationship and see if it is truly what you want. While in a calm, rational state if you keep coming to the same conclusion (that the relationship really isn't working) then you can proceed with a break up without the fear of regretting it later.

Rashly breaking up with someone can be hurtful to the other person. Even if you come back to them in a few days to apologize, stating that you really didn't mean it and that you don't want to break up, they may question your commitment to the relationship. They may wonder where your head is really at if you are willing to break up quickly and in the heat of the moment. Again, it's best to avoid that situation so you won't regret breaking up with someone.

It is possible that a break up that occurs in the heat of the moment was going to happen sooner or later anyway. The emotion and anger that is present during a heated arguement acts as a catalyst and speeds up the process. There may have been legitimate reasons that you wanted to end the relationship but for whatever reason just didn't want to face it or deal with it when you are thinking rationally. Then when your emotions are riled that's when it surfaces and you let it out and the break up occurs. You may regret breaking up with someone in this manner.

In the end, in order to avoid regretting breaking up with someone it is best to not break up when your temper is flared. Examine your relationship when you are calm and thinking rationally. Then decide if the relationship is something that you want.
