After The Breakup

Dear Suze Q. I finally moved out from my on-and-off again partner of 7 years. The good times weren’t often enough, and everyday was some argument. Tears and begging at the end, but I needed to go. I jump when the phone pings, can’t concentrate, and second guess my choices. I’m fighting to stay away.

Dear Jumpy, To settle down, you may need to cut all ties for several weeks. Blocking contact isn’t cruel, it’s a bandaid to keep your sanity while you get emotional distance. Fully occupy yourself for a month or so, until you feel good being alone or with others who support you. Stay away and grow on your own. Later, seek a healthy partnership. -SQ
