Here are 3 tips to heal the emotional damage and rebuild the relationship:

1. Accept yourself and work on it

Sometimes we overlook and disrespect our needs, body, and feelings in every relationship. It happens because we begin to perceive ourselves through the eyes of our partners that create circumstances where we don’t love ourselves anymore. We shall be able to express ourselves in the relationship more effectively the more time we invest in learning about and understanding ourselves.

This can help us respect our own decisions just as much as we respect those of our partners, which will increase our sense of involvement and aliveness in the relationship. Remember the key to success in personal and professional relationships is self awareness.
