Let us walk you through these 3 advices on how to deal with breakup during this pandemic season.

Break up advice #1: Ito na talaga ‘yung totoong advice – allow yourself to hurt.

Yup, tama ‘yang nabasa mo.

Baka nakaka-feel ka ng guilt ngayon because you think that what you are experiencing right now is nothing compared to what the world is dealing with.

Breaker, your pain matters.

“It’s important to recognize that although not all pain is equal in measure, yours is still true, valid, and incredibly real,” sabi ng Relevant in their article A Guide to Breaking Up During a Global Pandemic.

Remember that.

Or maybe, isa ka ngayon sa mga gustong makatakas from the pain by suppressing or numbing it.

Pero, alam mo Breaker, “it seems counterintuitive to embrace pain in order to stop hurting, but healing requires walking through the hurt and heartache – and allowing ourselves to grieve is an essential part of the process,” shinare nila.

Masakit pero kailangan mong maramdaman.

Break up advice #2: Rebuild your routine.

Isa ‘to sa pinaka-mahirap gawin kasi nasanay ka na palagi kayong 2, eh.

Sige, Breaker, pause muna and hinga nang malalim.

Then, kapag ready ka na, scroll down.

Breakup advice 03

Aminin mo man or hindi, kay ex na umikot ang mundo mo kaya kasabay ng pagkawala niya ay ang pagkawala ng totoong ikaw.

Naku, Breaker! I-take note mo ‘yan sa next relationship mo, ah. (Ayan ay kung ready ka na, okay?)

Sabi nga ni relationship expert Monica Parikh from the Shape article, “that’s unhealthy, and just leads to codependency. Instead, your life should be filled with so many other things—like friends, hobbies, spirituality, exercise—that the relationship is simply the cherry on top, as opposed to the whole sundae.”

Nabasa mo ‘yun?

There is more to life than a jowa.

So, now na mas marami ka na ngayong time, set up activities in your schedule.

Perhaps, you can start working out daily, ipagluto ang family every weekend, buy a house plant para may inaalagaan ka (hindi nga lang tao pero puwede na), join an online community that meets virtually, or video call your close friends tuwing Friday. Mga ganern.

“This will help you establish your identity separate from your relationship and give you something to look forward to every single day,” they said.

Break up advice #3: Reflect on what you have learned.

Better if isusulat mo, Breaker.

Kailangan mo mag-allot ng time not just to process the breakup but to look within, your ex, and your relationship as a whole and see what areas you need to improve.

If not, sabi ni Matt, you’re just going to repeat the same old pattern and carry it to the next relationship na ayaw naman natin mangyari, right?

Pero. Pero. Pero.

Breakup advice 04

Hindi rin natin isinasantabi ang fact na this is hard to do! Yes, it’s hard especially if fresh pa ‘yung pain.

We hear you. ‘Wag ka mag-alala.

Ang solusyon?

Connect with an expert or a trusted friend who will “objectively look at your patterns and lovingly point out where you need to change your thinking and behavior is priceless, because most of the time, we don’t even know how we’re feeling unless someone asks us those hard questions,” sabi ni Monica.
