2. You must learn how to move on
Going back to a relationship, no matter how bad, may seem comforting. We all associate familiarity with comfort and seek out things we are already acquainted with. However, this will create a vicious, never-ending cycle of pain and heartache. It is very easy to fall back into old habits and patterns. However, sooner or later you will realize that in order to survive, you have got to move on. The sooner you can move on, the faster you will see yourself going forward. This in turn will open up new opportunities in life. You will get to meet new people who treat you better and over time you will slowly learn to love again.
