Here is what you need to know about emotionally unavailable partners and rebound relationships:
Never put anyone on a pedestal
No one in this world is perfect and worthy of worship. If you do this, the only unhappy person will be you.
Get to really know someone well before deciding your future together
Understand that many a modern relationship is fragile – but in reality what it should be is that when the going gets tough, the tough should get going.
Go with your gut instincts
Even when the other person seems to be picture perfect, sometimes it’s that gnawing feeling in your gut that will tell you’re the truth.
Time heals all
You can recover from a bad relationship because time heals everything including heartache. When you begin dating anew, you will have more self-knowledge to deal with any future relationship problems.
You cannot fix another person
Sometimes, we wrongly believe that our love will help heal the other person. If the other person just chips away at your soul, it is time to let them go. You cannot fix someone else because healing comes from within.
The end of a romantic relationship doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you
Healthy relationships are not just the romantic sort. You can have friends, family, and coworkers who are a wonderful support system in your life rather than just an unloving partner who is emotionally unavailable.
