Breaking up with someone you love is hard to do. However, most of the time if you are in the process of breaking up, it means that you have no choice. Either he (she) found love in a different place, or he (she) is totally incompatible with you and you need to move on with your life.

Breaking up with someone you love is a part of life and you just have to accept it. Otherwise your life might turn into a nightmare and you will suffer from a severe case of a broken heart.

Real love is when you love another person without any conditions. Real love is when you are happy and the other person is happy even though the other person can find happiness in a new relationship. Sometimes your significant other might find happiness in just being without you. If you believe that the feeling you carry is love, then you need to accept the present and the future.

You have to live in the future, not in the past. You have to be thankful for the beautiful time you’ve spent together. You have to be thankful even if the time was not exactly beautiful. Remember, even the most beautiful roses have thorns.

If you can’t accept the situation when you break up with your boyfriend (or your girlfriend), then this is not love. You are the one who needs to decide and judge the situation.

Breaking up with someone you love is awfully painful. You feel almost dead emotionally. Some people even experience physical pain during their break up. However, in order to become happy again, you have to go through this pain and heal your broken heart

If you truthfully love someone, you can always try to remain friends. The only thing that will be missing is sex. Yes, sex is a very important part of romantic relationships, but in many cases sexual attraction does not represent real love. A crazy sexual drive in most relationships is chemistry with a huge amount of a hormone called dopamine. Every time you see someone you love, you get a portion of dopamine. Those hormone portions are very addictive. Many people cannot comprehend their feelings correctly and they confuse real love with an excessive doze of dopamine.

Actually, there is a reality check if your love is a real feeling, not a sexual attraction:

1) If you have the same deep, fuzzy, warm feeling towards your partner after a year and a half of being together, it means that you love him (her). Usually dopamine stops being strong towards the same partner after a year or so.

2) If you are able to be happy when he (she) is happy, then it is love. Otherwise it is a cocktail of your hurt ego mixed with selfishness.

Breaking up with someone you love sometimes is the only solution if you would like to keep the person in your heart as a significant and special one. It is better to break up and love this person than to stay together, suffer, and start hating each other. Love is a sacred feeling. Love does not have time and distance as well as age and nationality. Different people have different circumstances, so breaking up with someone you love sometimes is the best solution for both people.

It is better to have beautiful memories than an ugly reality. Each and every person has one life and deserves to be happy. Broken heart needs to be healed in order to move on.
