Let\u2019s be real here, breakups are painful. Even if you\u2019re the dumper, splitting up with your partner can leave you feeling heartbroken. We get it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But rather than swallowing your feelings ASAP, we advise giving yourself the space you need to grieve. Take time to cry over sad relationship quotes. Or to curl up on the couch and watch your <\/span>favorite tearjerker<\/span><\/a>. Let it all go!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve let all your emotions out, it\u2019ll be easier to see the perks of single life. Or to move on and find that special someone who gets your heart racing again. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So get your tissues ready. Here are some sad relationship quotes to get your emotions going…<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ultimate Sad Relationship Quotes<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re not alone<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you find yourself down in the dumps after a breakup, you\u2019re not alone. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pain of a broken heart has inspired poets, musicians, and artists for centuries. They all survived the pain of heartbreak, and you will too.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you are standing in a forest of sorrow, you cannot imagine that you could ever find your way to a better place. But if someone can assure you that they themselves have stood in that same place, and now have moved on, sometimes this will bring hope.\u201d <\/span><\/i>– Elizabeth Gilbert<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou can close your eyes to things you don\u2019t want to see, but you can\u2019t close your heart to things you don\u2019t want to feel.\u201d<\/span><\/i> – Johnny Depp<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEver has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.\u201d<\/span><\/i> – Khalil Gibran<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHands that never touch. Lips that never meet. The Almost Lovers, never to be.\u201d <\/span><\/i>– Rae Hachton<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHearts were made to be broken.\u201d<\/span><\/i> – Oscar Wilde<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love takes courage<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look at it this way. Choosing to love comes with the risk of being heartbroken. To start a relationship, you need to put yourself out there and show someone the real you. That takes guts!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when you find yourself in a tailspin after a breakup, know that you have the strength to get through it. Why? Because if you weren\u2019t courageous and brave, you wouldn’t be there in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo it\u2019s true when all is said and done, grief is the price we pay for love.”<\/span><\/i> – E.A. Bucchianeri<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard asking someone with a broken heart to fall in love again.”<\/span><\/i> – Eric Kripke<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heartbreak changes you…<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Believe it or not, heartbreak can be the ultimate teacher. While you\u2019re coming to terms with your split, you can learn a lot about yourself. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take time to <\/span>care for yourself after your breakup<\/span><\/a>. Reflect on your relationship. Understand where you went wrong and what you may do differently going forward. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you handle a breakup right, you’ll emerge from the experience with valuable insights.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo here\u2019s the thing with broken hearts. No matter how you try, the pieces never fit the way they did before.\u201d <\/span><\/i>– Ariana Poetess<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPain makes you stronger, fear makes you braver, heartbreak makes you wiser.\u201d<\/span><\/i> – Drake<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnce you had put the pieces back together, even though you may look intact, you were never quite the same as you\u2019d been before the fall.\u201d<\/span><\/i> – Jodi Picoult<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

…and it hurts<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love hurts. Studies show that heartbreak activates the <\/span>same parts of the brain as physical pain<\/span><\/a> does. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of it this way. While love can be compared to an addiction, a breakup is comparable to a withdrawal. And withdrawal takes real time to overcome.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So feel free to feel all the sadness, anger, and confusion that comes with the grieving process. Trust us. Down the line, you\u2019ll be glad you did.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA broken heart bleeds tears.” <\/span><\/i>– Steve Maraboli<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe shattering of a heart when being broken is the loudest quiet ever.\u201d – <\/span><\/i>Carroll Bryant<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPleasure of love lasts but a moment. The pain of love lasts a lifetime.\u201d<\/span><\/i> – Bette Davis<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have lost and loved and won and cried myself to the person I am today.\u201d<\/span><\/i> – Charlotte Ericksson<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are many ways of breaking a heart. Stories were full of hearts broken by love, but what really broke a heart was taking away its dream – whatever that dream might be.\u201d<\/span><\/i> – Pearl S. Buck<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healing takes time<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even when it feels like things will never get better, know this. They always do. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healing is a rocky road with plenty of ups and downs. So be gentle with yourself. And recover at your own pace.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been on the floor and I\u2019ve been heartbroken. I didn\u2019t know how I was going to stand up. But I just gave it time.\u201d<\/span><\/i> – Sandra Bullock<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New beginnings<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that one day your heart will heal. It might take a while, but one day you\u2019ll likely meet someone who makes you think \u201c<\/span>am I ready to date again?<\/span><\/a>\u201d And you’ll experience the first date butterflies all over again.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.\u201d<\/span><\/i> – Marilyn Monroe<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery time your heart is broken, a doorway cracks open to a world full of new beginnings, new opportunities.\u201d <\/span><\/i>– Patti Roberts<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe best way to heal a broken heart, it turns out, is to find a way to move past the hurt.\u201d<\/span><\/i> – Mary Kay Andrews<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The road back from heartbreak can feel long and confusing. But these sad relationship quotes prove that mending your heart isn\u2019t just possible, it\u2019s rewarding! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So feel empowered by how far you\u2019ve come already and excited for the future ahead of you. Remember, there\u2019s light at the end of the tunnel. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
