Your decisions are tainted by the emotional investments you accumulate, and the more you invest in something the harder it becomes to abandon it.

 

I've had a hard time figuring out why I couldn't just cut my losses and run a lot earlier. I kinda despised myself for putting up with the treatment I did for so long. This helped me understand that the way I acted was a common and natural human reaction to loss.

Great article. I love this kind of stuff... I think that if we ever feel like we MUST'NT suffer after a breakup then we are deluding ourselves and even hurting ourselves even more by making ourselves feel bad about feeling bad.

 

Its ok to feel disappointment after a breakup. Even moments of depression and despair are normal.
