Advice: Dating Again After a Bad Breakup - What Do I Need to Share About It?
Episode 66
“Share information about your breakup with the new people in your life whenever it feels right”
Breakups are universally painful, regardless of the circumstances. And after a long-term relationship, it can be daunting to dip your toes back into the dating pool. In today’s episode, we’re tackling a listener's question about reentering the dating scene after a challenging breakup. With a decade-long relationship behind them, our listener grapples with how to discuss the breakup with others, while being respectful of their ex’s mental health issues.
Join us as Erin dives into the complexities of navigating post-breakup dating. From acknowledging the pain of a breakup to reclaiming agency in sharing personal narratives, we discuss:
- Acknowledging the courage it takes to pursue new connections
- How to hold compassion and understanding for both yourself and your ex-partner
- Allowing yourself the freedom to share personal details at your own pace
- How crafting a script for the breakup can help you navigate conversations with new partners
- Releasing yourself from the need to protect others’ perceptions of your ex-partner
