Cohabiting Concerns

Suddenly Finding Myself Single Again

Relationships break up every day, but few people are prepared for the emotional upheaval it can cause. Some of them will feel broken for a long time afterwards, but others will recover quickly. Much of it depends upon the nature of the relationship they just left, and some of it will depend upon whether they chose to leave or were abandoned by someone they loved. If they are the person who chose to end the relationship, being suddenly single again is a dream they have waited to experience. If the person was left by an unfaithful spouse or lover, it could become a reprieve from a bad relationship after they recover emotionally.

Facing freedom

For those who thought their relationship was going well, facing freedom is often a shock to their entire system. They might struggle to get past it at first, but they can look back on the repression they felt in their relationship after recovery. Those who left a relationship of their own accord have been looking forward to the sense of freedom, and they are ready to enjoy it as their right. They have already thought about what they will do with their time, and their goal is to wring as much enjoyment out of life as possible.

Exploring new venues

Once an old relationship is past, it is time to move on in life and find new adventures. For those who are ready to experience everything life has to offer them, there are plenty of ways they can go about it. Exploring new venues with friends and family could be part of what gets them back into the swing of things, or they could find a new companion to go with them. Either way they do it, taking advantage of their new freedom should enhance their life. Seeking a new relationship might not suit them, but finding a compatible friend or lover could be the answer to their dreams.

Starting slow

Being suddenly single again is not always what people want, but those looking for a new relationship should think about starting slow when it comes to making a commitment. They need to understand why their last relationship dissolved before starting a new one, and they might need some time to get their own life into shape. If they choose to take the time they need, their future romances could be much better. Those who are in a hurry to commit will often select someone unsuitable, and they could end up alone again before too long.

It can be heart-breaking to become single again when it is unexpected, but those who made their own decision to end the relationship can see it as a time when they are free of obligations. Exploring new venues and experiences can be what they have been seeking, but they do not necessarily need to make a commitment to have companionship. Family and friends are good choices when simple enjoyment is their goal, but they could choose to find someone uninterested in a relationship if they just want a companion for a short time.
