Getting Good And Angry About Your Breakup

By Sasha Peters


Anger is an emotion that you are probably familiar with but one that you may have been fighting for a while when it concerns your ex. It will come upon you suddenly and perhaps even most surprisingly. One day you're filled with grief and regret as you sob about your ex and then one morning you are greeted with an overwhelming feeling of anger towards your ex. This emotion is actually a good thing and one that you can actually use to help you to get your ex back or to forget about them, if that is your choice.

There are going to be times when you aren't quite sure of what to do with this feeling. You still feel pangs of love but they are quickly replaced by anger and revulsion over your ex leaving you. Maybe it seems like your ex has moved on and they're seeing someone else and you wonder how genuine the love was that they felt for you. You're angry and upset but your mind is as clear as a bell. Your ex left you and refuses to even talk about getting back together and you're finally angry about it.

Any time someone treats you badly your natural reaction should be to be angry or a little miffed, especially someone that was close to you. Can you imagine a close friend rejecting you the way that your ex has. How would you feel about that friendship and you would question that friend's character? Your ex was actually your closest friend and your best friend in the world. You feel righteous about being angry about their actions. You might even be tempted to call them up on the phone and tell them how you feel. I would suggest that you resist that urge though. There's no need to burn that bridge and you are actually going through a healing stage in your relationship.

Instead, allow your anger to help you through your breakup. You know that you're not as bad as your ex was making you out to be. You loved your ex and while you made some mistakes you are sorry for those mistakes and you would have done anything to make it up to your ex. Where there is love there should be forgiveness. You were ready to forgive your ex for dumping you. You would think that they would see your sincerity and recognize that you really loved them. Now you are angry and you feel like you're done. Let that anger help you to change your life and show you're ex just how awesome you really are. After all, your ex is more likely to want to get back together with someone who is awesome more than someone who is sad and depressed about their breakup, wouldn't you think?

Even though anger is often thought of as a negative emotion, you can use it for good. Your anger and be that power that you need to make changes in your life and get started in the direction of bigger and better things for you and whoever you decide to share your life with. It is a sign that you are healing and feeling more normal. You are starting to like yourself again and you might even find that your friends and other people around you suddenly start to become more attracted to you and want to spend time with you. Surround yourself with people who support you and believe in you and forget about the people who don't love you as you are.

Take the day that you start to feel angry as a beginning of a new era for you. Your anger means that you are well into the healing stage and that you have some respect for yourself. You value yourself as a person and you become upset and angry when people who are supposed to love you and care for you leave you. Use your anger to move past the hurt and pain and win your ex back if that is what you want in life.
