Surviving a Break-Up
It seems we are hearing a lot from students who have just broken up with boyfriends and girlfriends and are struggling with the loss of companionship from that extra special someone. Below are some tips on surviving a break-up.
HOW TO DO IT:
When it is recognized that a break-up or separation is going to occur, it is suggested that:
- An open an honest discussion of the situation takes place between the persons involved.
- The individuals share making the decision that must be made.
- No matter who is leaving or who is staying, each must make his/her wishes known.
