How to forget a man?

Love is a complicated subject. Hard to say what is right or wrong, how it should start and how it should end. It involves two people, each with their own history, culture, fears and expectations. But there is something relatively easy to know about love: when it really happens, it comes easily. If you think about the loves that have gone through your life and worked for a while, you may find that these relationships started out easily, fluidly, like falling from the sky in your lap.

It is in setting expectations where hurt is most present. But it can also be unfair to completely disclaim the responsibility of those who promise in words or attitudes that they will like and stay with you any longer: neither is it always your fault, nor are you always the one who has created too many expectations.

“There are men who pass through our lives and, just as they do, disappear without much impact or even making a difference. On the other hand, there are specific men who move us in such a way that we become unaware of our own attitudes and emotions aroused in this meeting beyond overwhelming? Comments Pâmela Magalhães, relationship psychologist.


But the fact is that novels end and one way or another one has to survive it. It is not easy at all. Reasoning well about the story and what it really could have been as far as possible from delusions or nonconformity is the first step in moving forward.

Is it possible to forget it? What should I do?

Yes, it is possible! Check out some types of love that go through women's lives and how to deal with the end of each:

How to forget a great love

Great love may never be forgotten. Only one knows how much certain people can mark forever, even after the end. The best way to deal with these cases is, at first, to move away and rebuild, and later perhaps try to nurture a dispassionate love. If a person will always be present in your memory and heart, the best step for yourself is to get along well with it. Recognizing one's life cycles and one's freedom is a lifelong learning.


How to forget a married man

Relationship expert Pâmela Magalhães identifies married men living in extramarital affairs into three main types: The first is the promiscuous type who collects relationships outside of marriage and does not harbor any kind of guilt as a result. The second type is the needy coward, who dissatisfied in marriage, finds in his lover a way to meet his affective needs. The third type is the man in crisis, this is the type who does not usually cheat, but goes through a delicate period with his wife, and right then, found you! This profile usually lives the adventure and soon return to the relationship ?.

A relationship with a married man is already dangerous from the beginning. There are exceptions, but it is difficult in a case where the lover does not end up injured. To deal with this hurt it is essential to understand the situation in which you were inserted. When you are in love, anyone can fool themselves and get off course, and in order to be able to work it out, you have to think right about what illusion you got yourself into.

How to forget a chicken man

The? Chickens? don't get that nickname for nothing. If they are very successful with women, it is because they know how to conquer. Even if you believe you have control of the situation, it is very easy to lose your defenses and fall in love.


A common mistake of women is to believe that it will be different with her. As special as you really are, other very interesting people must have gone through his story. Blindly believing that you will be different can be very dangerous.

“Sustaining the overbearing idea that you will change it can be a trap. Besides a big responsibility, believe me, nobody changes anyone. It only changes who it wants, and for itself?, Emphasizes Pâmela. Keep in mind that if he is not serious with anyone, the problem is probably not with you.

How to forget an unrequited love

“Amazing how we can suffer so much for the loss of what we never had, that is, we can hurt ourselves so much to forget a man we never really relate to. This only happens because we bitter for all that we idealized, built and cultivated, but could not be realized ?, explains Pâmela Magalhães.

6 tips for overcoming the moment

1. Accept the order: It's sad, but some things have to end. And if it's over there is no escape but to accept and know how to live and learn from it.Clinging to unfounded hopes will hurt even more, taking precious time in your life. Don't be convinced by apologies that you create so that he has abandoned you.

2. Pull back completely: Delete all contacts you have with him. Unless the matter is really urgent (not a forgotten earring in his house), don't call, do not seek scheduled or forced encounters, do not allow yourself to seek information about him from mutual friends.

3. Don't try to replace one love with another: Running to throw yourself into another man's arms to try to forget rarely works. It is a sign of weakness and disrespect for your own feelings. If another love suddenly appears, lucky you, but try to heal from your previous wounds and make sure it's not just a needy disguise.

4. Abuse of reason: It is by thinking and meditating on the issue that one gets the best heart remedies. Controlling anxiety and reasoning your story has the power to cure many frustrations. Were you really happy beside him? How much of your suffering is actually a form of possessiveness? How many signs that it wasn't cool had been shown? Answering these questions truthfully and humbly will help you elucidate various anxieties.

5. Live your grief: No one is iron, although today, showing sadness and frustration is out of date. But trying to look great, unhurt, or hurting is denying your human condition and confusing others' feelings about you. Everyone goes through bad times, don't deny that right.

6. If you reinvent: Take advantage of this phase to resume friendships and make different and fun programs. The more you are involved with yourself and activities that are good for you, the more nourished your self-esteem will be, leaving little room in your head to brood over the pains of the past.
