A relationship has to be built over a period of time and nourished to make it healthier and strong. When such a relationship breaks up for some unexpected reason, it is heart-rending and painful. If and when you are Coping With A Breakup, you need to make sure that you want it to happen. You have to be wary of the reasons for the split. If there was no chemistry between you and your ex-partner, then there is no point in trying to work things out. Physically and verbally abusive partners are certainly not worth worrying about. Mentally unstable or disturbed persons are also best left alone. Only if you and your ex shared many things in common and more importantly enjoyed the company of each other, it is worth pursuing the relationship.
