If you you want to know about relationship breakup, then you need to continue reading the articles. The article will explain things about relationship breakup and the stages leading to breakup. Usually, there are five stages leading to relationship breakup; dissatisfaction, exposure, negotiation, resolution and transformation and finally, termination. At the end of this article, you will be able to know how to accurately analyse your relationship, so that you will know if and when your relationship is heading for the rocks. It may perhaps also be the time for you to change your perspective about that relationship you are into presently.
A relationship breakup, often referred to simply as a breakup, is the termination of a usually intimate relationship by any means other than death. The act is commonly termed "dumping [someone]" in slang when it is initiated by one partner. The term is less likely to be applied to a married couple, where a breakup is typically called a separation or divorce. During the dynamics of relationship breakup, there exists a "turning point", only noted in hindsight, followed by a transition period in which one partner unconsciously knows the relationship is going to end, but holds on to it for an extended period; weeks, months, sometimes for a number of years. Nearly one-third of all Americans have experienced a breakup in the past ten years. It is however not surprising that, the younger the person, the more likely they are to have experienced more than one breakup in the last decade. This is because young people are more actively dating than older generations, though this may be changing with the growing divorce rate, and thus adults are breaking up more frequently as well. This makes breakups one of the more common emotional experiences in modern society.
There are five stages leading ultimately up to a breakup. The stages lead one to another:
Dissatisfaction – one or both partners grow dissatisfied with the relationship. Many of us are dissatisfied in our love relationship. It's not that we are unhappy but we have days of vague discontent when we wonder, 'is this it'? Days when we wonder if we made a mistake in choosing our partner; moments of lingering misgivings on the suitability of our partner; and wondering if there is someone who would be a better fit for us than our current partner. The Break-Up
If for example you feel that your partner does not love you; what thoughts are going through your mind when you feel like that? What is the source of those feelings? Analyze what they have done or not done to make you feel that way.
Sometimes your discontent may be as a result of unresolved issues that have built up over the years. You need to sieve the past from what you feel right now and urgently find a way to make peace with the past. If you need to talk to your partner about it. Sometimes your discontent may be because you have been with your partner a long time and you have begun to see only their negative attributes. When they say that 'familiarity breeds contempt', I suspect this is what they mean.
