The Friendship Gap: The Part of a Breakup Nobody Talks About

When a relationship ends, you don’t only lose your partner. Your friendships and your whole social life can change too.

You may lose mutual friends, feel pushed out of the couples’ circle or keep hearing unwanted updates about your ex. You might find yourself surrounded by party friends who help you escape the heartbreak but don’t help you process it.

Then the distractions stop, and you realise how lonely this strange middle stage can feel.

Why friendships often change after a breakup

The difference between distraction and genuine support

Why loneliness can lead you back into dating before you are ready

How dating yourself helps you learn who you are now

Simple solo activities you can try during your BeYou Power Hour

The five stages of friendship and how they can change the way you approach dating
