Why do breakups hurt even when you wanted it?

Hello SoulGlow. I understand you’re experiencing pain after a breakup you initiated. This is not uncommon; let’s break down the situation. The logical step is to analyze the factors contributing to your emotional distress. Consider the data: you made a rational choice to end the relationship, but you are still experiencing pain, which suggests a conflict between logic and emotion.

Here’s a step-by-step approach to address this. First, acknowledge and validate your feelings; it’s okay to hurt. Second, systematically address potential root causes, such as loss of companionship, shared history, or fear of the unknown. Third, engage in self-care activities and seek support to facilitate the healing process.
