Taking a break from a dizzy roller-coaster relationship

"It might be better to end it up. But there is nothing wrong in giving a try if you see a space for change."








Are you on a roller coaster relationship? You are burned out, but not sure if you're ready to give up? Having second thoughts of letting go a long time relationship is just normal. Of course you'll have hesitations. His family knows you and your family knows him (and they even came to a point of expecting you both to end up together).

When things become rough all over again and you've been fighting on the same thing for years now, it is not bad to take a break and ask for you both to talk later on. You can follow these steps to make you feel a little lighter.

1. Keep calm and Clean up! If you're in a not-so-easy situation like this, you might have been lying on that bed since history started. With your messy room plus your messy hair and not to mention, smelly self, you might be distinguished as a cave person living in a cave-like room. Get up and start cleaning your room and yourself for Pete's sake! Forget those lazy days. Give your self a treat, by having a new haircut and SPA. Having a good environment, can create a positive mood.

2. Forget your guilty pleasures and eat sweets! Science has already proven that eating sweets can tune up your mood. There are also mood boosters that are low in sugar but can have the same effect in your mood. You can try oat meals, walnut, and blueberries. Eat without feeling guilty!

3. Keep off from the social media and don't contact him. You don't want to throw words without thinking and read his anger-provoking posts, so turn off that WiFi and keep off those little fingers from logging in your accounts. Otherwise, you might end up being a hot gossip topic in a huge town called social media. Don't contact him. Ignore his texts and calls for a while, lets say 1 week and if you pass that, you can make it 2 weeks. This is a classic way of making him wonder what you have been doing and a space for him to think about you. I know you see a dirty game in that, don't you?

4. Keep your self busy. Stay away from those negative thoughts by  keeping your self busy. Make this a chance for you to do better in your career. Go out and play your favorite sports. It's not only an escape, but will make you firm and better  looking. Do things you've been longing to do. If you can afford to take a vacation in a remote place, why not! Its your chance to feel your old self and rebuild your bonds with the other persons in your life. Or how about trying a new things? Say, blogging. It's another perfect way of expressing your self.

5. Hang out with your Bffs. Now you see the importance of keeping your self surrounded by friends. During the time that you are deeply- highly-madly-crazily-in-love, you might tend to keep that person to be the only one in your world. Remember that old proverbs, "No man is an island". So keep that bond you have with your friends. Invite them for a date or sleep over. For many, friends are the people they are most comfortable speaking about this matter. You can ask them about their thoughts. They might sometimes sound crazy, but you know they only want the best for you.

After having an enough "me time", go back to the problem. If you realized that you're happier with your life, it might be as well better to put an end to that roller coaster ride. Expert says that the level of arguments usually remains all throughout the relationship. This means that, if you both are usually fighting over a serious matter, like cheating, or maybe an uncontrollable temper over small issues, there is a big possibility that you will fight on the same level of conflict again.  And if you see place for a chance, there is nothing wrong in giving a try for the last time. Just for the very last time.

FEU now improved their records to 6-4 while ADMU falls to 6-3.
