Cupids Dating Blog

I’ve had numerous letters here at Cupids Reviews from people asking what to do when someone moves on. Most have involved a partner who has somehow cheated or lied, but others are about relationship involving people who just want a clean break. From an outsider’s perspective, the path is clear. This isn’t the type of scenario where people say or do one thing and mean another. When people want to move on, be it overtly through dating other people, or covertly by lying about it, that’s the only sign we should need. It makes little sense to try and make things work when only one party has any desire. It’s as if some people think there’s a love potion, or formula, that if followed will make the world that is falling around them stop and build itself back up.

I had a good friend who was suffering from such disillusionment. Her boyfriend kept breaking up with her and telling her that she could never be the woman he needed her to be. That’s not the type of relationship you keep around. The writing was clear for all those around her, yet she was so addicted to the romance of this one love that she made excuses for her partner’s behavior. It’s hard when you’re so in love to make the big decisions that will change the course of your life and ensure that parts of it you love so much will no longer be there. I can see how easy it is to become addicted.

Yet, in the end, there is only one hard choice to make. You must let go. The second you do, it will be hard, but the process of healing begins. You can build a new life and a better life. Let go of the addiction and you’ll free your soul.
