  2. Make one a positives column and the other a negatives.

  3. Now it's time to look at your relationship and list the things you liked about it and the things you didn't like. Be objective and also list the positives and negatives about your ex.

  5. Once you have made a list don't make any rash judgments based on your findings just yet. Think about it for a few days, Ideally, putting it away for a week is great because it gives you an extra week to clear your mind.

Analyzing Your Data

There may be some negatives which you knew were a problem but simply suppressed them. This could be due to the fact that you didn't want to admit the relationship was in trouble or even that you failed in the relationship.

It will almost allow you to stand outside of your body in a sense and be the third person who can analyze the findings and point out the good and the bad. Stuff you may not see because you're too close to it.

So what do you do with the list? Well, this is where you need to make a decision. If the list of negatives swamps any positives then that could be a clue to go your separate ways. But if there were only a couple of negatives and a ton of positives then you've got some work to do.
