4 razões pelas quais deixar de se apaixonar é mais assustador do que se apaixonar
Pensa que apaixonar-se é assustador. You’re letting yourself be led by something you can’t control – your emotions.
Also, you’re opening up to a completely new person. You’re letting them in your life without holding yourself back; you’re putting yourself out there.
You risk being hurt and having your heart broken. And that is something that we’re all afraid of, whether we’d like to admit it or not.
Por outro lado, pensamos que o abandono amoroso é sempre um alívio. Que essa sensação de virar uma nova página da sua vida equivale a uma libertação emocional, física e mental.
Well, think again. The process of falling out of love is everything but that. In fact, in most cases, it’s scarier than falling in love. Here is why.
1. É algo que ninguém quer

Let’s face it. No matter where you stand in life right now, we all want to fall in love at one point.
Atualmente, pode estar a fugir desse pensamento devido a uma experiência dolorosa anterior, mas a verdade é que um dos objectivos finais de qualquer pessoa viva é, entre outros, encontrar o amor romântico.
Quando isso acontece, ninguém pensa no fim. Em vez disso, todos nós gostamos de assumir e esperar que todas as relações que estabelecemos durem uma vida inteira. Que cada vez que nos apaixonamos, será para sempre.
You’re not expecting your romance to end when you’re starting it. You don’t put an expiration date on your relationship and your feelings.
However, sadly, things don’t always end up the way we want and imagine them to. Sometimes, you fall out of love, despite that being the last thing you planned.
And that makes all of it even scarier – the fact that it hits us, contrary to our desires. The way it is something we can’t control and something we never wish for.
2. You’re hurting yourself and the other person

Apaixonar-se nunca é canja e é tudo menos fácil. Pelo contrário, é doloroso tanto para a pessoa que o vive como para a pessoa que é deixada para trás.
When you’re falling in love, you never expect things to fall apart. You are not doing it, consciously knowing that you’re soon to hurt both yourself and the person you loved so dearly until now.
No entanto, quando se trata do processo de reversão, tudo é diferente. É um processo de desgosto que não pode ser evitado.
Maybe your relationship is theoretically perfect, but you simply don’t feel anything for your significant other. If this is the case, then you feel guilty for allowing yourself to fall out of love with someone who didn’t deserve it.
Sente-se culpado por não conseguir controlar o facto de ter de despedaçar o seu coração. E saber que isso também despedaça o teu.
When you’re forcing yourself to fall out of love with someone you know
doesn’t deserve your heart, it also hurts. It hurts knowing that you need to let go, that you must walk away, that you have to kill all of your emotions.
3. Questiona tudo o que sabia

When you’re falling out of love, you start questioning yourself, your romantic partner, your entire relationship, and everything you once knew about love.
Are you doing the right thing? Or you’re making the mistake of your life?
Is this just a phase? Or is everything you’ve felt for your partner really forever gone?
All of these questions are making you anxious, depressed and nervous. Most importantly, they’re making you doubt your own sanity and decision-making skills.
4. You’re leaving your comfort zone

It doesn’t matter if you were happy in love or not, throughout the years, this feeling has become familiar to you. It has become a part of who you are and now you have to leave it behind.
It doesn’t matter if you’re falling out love after a long term relationship or with someone who’s nunca te amei de voltaO objetivo é praticamente o mesmo.
Este sentimento que o dominou durante anos e se tornou o seu conforto desapareceu e tem de continuar a viver sem ele.
É preciso reinventar-se e descobrir a vida sem essas emoções que tantas vezes o guiaram.
