Hi everyone! I hope all of you have been enjoying the blogs! Before I dive into today's topic, if there is anything you are interested in hearing about, or have questions, leave a comment below and I will be sure to address it!
I wanted to take some time to blog about friendships during a breakup. Many times, when you are dating someone their friends become your friends and vise versa. This can make things really hard, especially when you want to get your ex out of your head and move on. Another thing that can be really hard is when a friend is the one who introduced you to your ex. Now you have to deal with a mutual friend, and that makes things extremely tough, trust me, I've been there. For example, I was introduced to Max through a mutual friend. Now, whenever I see our friend, I think about Max and she often reminds me of him. Now, it is very important to remember that this person is NOT your ex. While you may think of your ex when you see them, it is important to remember that this is your friend who has your best interests at heart.
I would worry a lot about losing my friend because of my breakup. The best advice I can give is to talk to your friend/friends about how you feel. Just like in a romantic relationship, communication is so important. If you don't tell your friends how you feel, they may have no idea! If you are worried about your ex coming between you both, or if you are unsure how to handle the entire situation, talk it out. I know that I kept my feelings bottled up for a while, which did no good. Once I talked to my friend I felt SO much better and a huge weight was lifted off of my shoulders. Talk to your friends, tell them how you feel, and go from there. That is the best way to start this process of navigating life after a breakup!
Talk soon everyone and thanks for reading!
