Breakups Definitely Hurt Jasmine Badge

We often say ‘my failed marriage’ or ‘my failed relationship.’ Relationships don’t fail, they end. Someone taught us that endings were failures and that’s not true. Downplaying your needs will not make you easier to love or more likeable. It will only make you meet those who cannot meet your needs. There are times when a relationship has to end in order for you to honour yourself and break unhealthy patterns. These can be the hardest decision to make. But if a relationship can only be maintained under unhealthy or co-dependent circumstances, it’s not worth sacrificing yourself for. Reminder: Breakups definitely hurt, but losing someone who doesn’t care, respect and appreciate you is actually a gain, not a loss! ~ JB
