L.P.C. Love relationships generate the most powerful feelings in life - both positive and negative. This is because we are so vulnerable emotionally with a romantic partner. Once a relationship has ended, we need time to move through these feelings and reach a resolution.
Anger needs to be expressed in a healthy way.
Once the anger is past, sadness may dominate, and these feelings need to be honored as well. Eventually, with the passage of time and some emotional work, we are left with the sense that things happened pretty much as they should have, that we learned from those experiences, and that we're ready to move on. The hop that a better relationship will come along returns, and we begin the search anew. Unfortunately, most people skip a great deal of that process. Hurting and wanting to feel better, they rush out and get into new relationships too quickly, not realizing that the emotional residue of the past cannot be so easily avoided.
