It's often these situations that help you grow the most, in many many ways. It seems to me that so many people are left on what seems like their own, after a relationship has ended.. Is this the way it is meant to be? How come we lose our independance so easily when we're with another person so often? Surely this can't be healthy, because from a very young age, in a way you have to fight for your own opinions, for yourself. Especially once you get to the age of moving away from home, you're on your own and have to make sure you're looking after yourself properly. So say you've moved out, you're happily on your own, until your fantasy partner comes along.. Beautiful, smart, funny, you're whisked off your feet. Until it ends, and you can't even think about the life you had before your partner.How can this be?!But whatever causes this unhealthy need for a partner to support you and keep your life on track, something needs to be done! And to me, the solution is learning when enough is enough. When you've argued, and you realise that there isn't any point carrying on arguing when you could learn so much more from being on your own. Relying on other people all your life only causes issues.. I see many on this site, people claiming to not be able to get over their ex, saying they feel lonely and insecure now they are on their own in the world again..So before you jump right into the deep end in a serious relationship, remember to keep your independance in tact, as you never know what life is going to throw at you next.
