Was It REALLY That Great?

Was it really that great?

One of the biggest mistakes that we tend to make when we are mourning the loss of a relationship, is to look back with rose-tinted glasses. Of course, we are going to have fond memories and think back to happier times. However, it is important for us to see our relationship for what it really was.

Was it always a bed of roses, or were there times when you were hurt or angry?

Was your partner always Prince Charming or Cinderella, or was he/she actually a bit of a frog?

If you are working through a break-up or divorce and find yourself romanticising about your relationship…try this!

1. Write down all the things you disliked about your ex.

2. Write down all the ways that you compromised your relationship.

The idea of this exercise, is to put things into perspective. It is much easier to move forward if you can be realistic about your past relationship and see it for what it really was, warts and all!

There is nothing wrong with remembering the good times, as long as you aren’t looking at them through those rose-tinted glasses!!
