Before this year ended, many showbiz couples disclosed their decision to end their relationships due to personal instances that shocked many netizens.

Looking into their stories and perspectives that were explained to the public, some lessons were delivered to the audience, especially when it comes to handling such breakups and how to survive such a dilemma.

Relating to this, here are some lessons that we can learn about the recent shocking breakups of celebrities.

1. Long-term relationships do not always have a happy ending.

Counting years is fun when it comes to a relationship, as this not only symbolizes the days or months that you and your partner are together but also a reminder that for a long time, your relationship passed through different obstacles.

Hence, being in a relationship for a long time does not mean that you will have a happy ending. As reflected in the recent showbiz breakups, there can still be instances where a couple can end their relationship because of personal concerns.

Be reminded that these years are only numbers, and if you are in a toxic relationship but are hesitant to let go of your partner just because of the years that you are in, then you should think again because life is short and a relationship should never be a burden for you to enjoy life.

2. Loving yourself should always be your top priority.

Entering a relationship does not mean that all the love that you have will be allotted to your partner. Even though you offer love to your other half, a percentage of this love should still be given to yourself.

Loving other people will always start within ourselves because a person will have a hard time sharing his or her love with others if they cannot even love themselves.
This has been visible in Miles Ocampo’s take after splitting up with boyfriend Elijah Canlas, wherein she said that she intended to love herself more as she recovered from the recent heartbreak that she experienced.

3. What we see on social media is just a part of a couple’s life.

Looking into the recent showbiz break-ups, there has been one denominator for all of them: netizens were shocked regarding their announcements, as they had just recently seen these couples be happy on camera or on their social media platforms.

This has been proof that not all the pictures or videos that are posted on social media summarize the relationship of a couple, as this is only a part of their journey. Just because they are smiling in front of the camera does not mean that they don’t experience bumps in their relationship.

Relating to this, it can teach couples that their love lives should not always be broadcast on social media, and the online world should not dictate their relationship with their partner. Having a private but not secret relationship will always bring peace to you and your partner.

4. When ending a relationship, closure is a must.

If you and your partner finally decide to end the chapter between the two of you, closure is the most important thing to do.

Just like how artists disclose the reality of their relationship, every partner should also have an understanding moment before letting go of the relationship between them.

This is not just an act of respect between you and your partner; it can bring a sense of peace and clarity to your ending relationship so that you and your other half will know what led to such a decision and how it may be improved in the future.

5. Acceptance will always be the key.

Breaking up with someone who became an important part of a chapter of your life will always be the hardest decision to make. Hence, accepting that not all relationships work is a significant part of fully recovering from that heartbreak.

Just like Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla stated in their closure statement, they have considered themselves an important part of each other’s journey, but they also accepted the fact that this is not enough for them to continue their relationship.

Accepting breakups is part of a person’s maturing age, as he or she will be able to know that not all things can be controlled. There will always be a scenario where people will enter your life to give you a lesson for the future.

With the recently reported breakups, may this just serve as a reminder that in each closure, there will always be a lesson. Heartbreak does not mean that a person should stop loving themselves and giving love to others, as there will always be perfect timing in everything that we do.
