Many people still believe that there’s no replacement for first love of your life but it is also true that there’s nothing like the first break up.
Although the first breakup is the toughest to get over with, the second relationship is what helps a heartbroken soul to be happy again. So why second relationship is often better than the first one? That’s because it gives you hope that no breakup is tough and you have someone made for you somewhere. Here are some more reasons why the second relationship is better than the first relationship.
1. You are more mature
All the situations in the first relationship (getting in a relationship, breaking up and then getting over it) make a person go through a dangerous emotional roller coaster. However, when experiencing all these emotions and feelings, individuals grow as a person. And as the second relationship starts this maturity helps a person to handle things better than they used to in the previous relationships.
2. You know yourself better
People in a second relationship know what they want and what they don’t want in their partner and what exactly they expect from their relationship. This clarity ensures a smooth bonding. This also makes you more confident in the relationship. And being your original self will make your partner appreciate you in even more.
3. You learn from your previous mistakes
No matter how big or small the mistakes are, they are mistakes and it just takes one to ruin a relationship. But when a person is in the second relationship, they are well aware of all the mistakes they’ve committed in their first relationship. so the chances of those mistakes being repeated are fairly less.
4. There’s more trust and respect
In general, individuals in the first relationship are very clingy and overly possessive. But in the second relationship, a person becomes more secure because you learn to trust again. You let a person come in your life even after experiencing a heartbreak because you feel like trusting him/her. And this trust lets you respect your partner more. You also understand the fact that they have a life of their own and you have to respect their personal space.
5. You become more practical
We are very innocent in our first relationships. Couples start believing that love is a forever thing, and they’ll stick together no matter what happens but when you experience a breakup, practical life hits you hard. But this practicality helps you in the second relationship. You are aware of the fact that it can end, so you put in more effort but you are also prepared for worst situations.
6. Second heartbreak hurts less
Because you’ve been through the heartbreak process earlier, the pain reduces in the second one. Obviously, you miss your partner and the love you had but then again you know you’ll get over it as you did the first time when it seemed impossible. And also there are chances that you become friends with your ex.
7. You know you’ll be able to love again
The second relationship teaches you that you can fall in love again, you can give chance to a new person, you can take that leap of faith. You are not afraid to fall in love rather you become more open and positive with letting someone enter your life.
