You still care deeply for one another but, the relationship is going nowhere and you know it.
Why stay in a relationship that causes you pain either emotionally or physically? No-one can stay in a destructive relationship - it is self-defeating.
So, for all the right reasons, the reasons that you would both be well aware of, you have decided to call it quits, even though you still care for one another.
Some things are just not meant to be.
Initially, you may feel somewhat relieved or even elated, to know the continuing pressures within your now dysfunctional relationship, don't have to be faced anymore.
An emotional burden has been lifted from your shoulders giving you respite from the dysfunctional relationship you tried so hard to make function.
And then, one morning, you wake up and you realize that, you are actually missing your partner, and you start getting all emotional because your partner is no longer in your life.
The realization of how much you love your partner is almost unbearable - because as much as you loved him or her you go to bed alone, you wake up alone and you start to grieve over the loss of your relationship.
This is normal - you are grieving a loss and you have to let yourself grieve.
Life becomes very painful and emotional - all the routines associated with your relationship have now gone and "we" now becomes "I".
You can't eat, you can't sleep and you don't feel interested in doing anything and life holds no promise for you, at this point in time, and it is not unusual for people within your situation to become depressed.
If you are simply just not coping with the relationship breakup - you should visit your doctor because you may be suffering depression and there is medication available to help you through this very emotional period.
As time passes, the acute feelings of loss will start to dissipate.
Make sure you keep in close contact with your closest friends, as they too, may be able to help you get through this most difficult of times.
No relationship breakup is easy, however, you will get through this, although it will take time.
Give yourself the time you need to heal.
You will smile and you will laugh again, as sure as the sun rises everyday.
