When you're going through a break-up it can sometimes seem a mystery as to why it actually happened. It can seem baffling and for some of us, the most pressing issues are 'Why did this happen? We seemed so happy...' or 'I knew we had problems but thought we'd sort them out'. Without finding answers to these questions it's hard to regain any sort of control in our lives. Although break-ups are more common now than three decades ago, it doesn't mean they're any less painful for most people. However, there's a tendency to treat them as something to 'move on' from very quickly. This pressure means that we don't always have time to reflect on the reasons before moving onto a new relationship or a different way of life.This book addresses the fundamental reasons for the break-up, rather than moving straight onto strategies for dealing with the loss. Using innovative case-studies, it captures the feelings experienced during heartbreak, connecting readers in a way that they can relate to.The book’s strengths are the different multi-layered approaches to looking at past relationships in a constructive way and helping readers understand what happened and find strategies to stop it happening again. Each chapter explores different aspects of relationships, whether they were relatively short-term or longer-lasting so that readers can re-engage and look forward to a happier future.
