A breakup can vary from casual to <a href="/wiki/Stress_(biological)" title="Stress (biological)">emotionally traumatic</a>.</p> <p>Breakups can occur for innumerable reasons, including conflicts in <a href="/wiki/Personality" title="Personality">personality</a>, <a href="/wiki/Lifestyle" title="Lifestyle">lifestyle</a> changes, a breach in a mutual <a href="/wiki/Code_of_conduct" title="Code of conduct">code of conduct</a> or <a href="/wiki/Infidelity" title="Infidelity">attraction to a different person</a>. A breakup that is decided upon by only one person is commonly referred to in English as <a href="/wiki/Social_rejection" title="Social rejection">"being dumped"</a>.</p> <p>In <a href="/wiki/Psychology" title="Psychology">psychology</a>, there are several models that attempt to explain the trajectory of the breakup or dissolution of a relationship. One theory for dissolution by Lee (1984) claims that there are five reasons why, over time, a relationship "breaks down":</p> <ol> <li><a href="/wiki/Dissatisfaction" title="Dissatisfaction" class="mw-redirect">Dissatisfaction</a> — partner/s become dissatisfied.</li> <li>Exposure — the problem/s becomes apparent to both parties.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Negotiation" title="Negotiation">Negotiation</a> — a solution is negotiated.</li> <li>Attempted resolution — solution is applied.</li> <li>Termination — if the solution does not work/there are no other solutions.</li> </ol> <p><a name="Recovery" id="Recovery"></a></p> <h2><span class="editsection">[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Relationship_breakup&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Recovery">edit</a>]</span> <span class="mw-headline">Recovery</span></h2> <p>According to an article by John Fetto (2003), a survey conducted by eNation found that nearly one-third of Americans have experienced a break-up in the past ten years. He also found that the younger the person, the more likely they are to have experienced more than one break-up in the last decade. It is believed that this is because young people are more actively dating than older generations, though this may be changing with the growing divorce rate, and thus are breaking up more frequently as well. This makes breakups one of the more common emotional experiences in modern society.</p> <p>Healing from heartache is a long process with multiple steps and stages. Some steps include; allowing adequate time to recover, improving intra personal relationships, and the actual act of 'letting go'. In addition, sometimes the break-up comes as a shock and one can be left to pick up the pieces unexpectedly, making this process even more hectic. Even in situations where the break-up was long overdue or even expected, breaking up and the process of healing afterwards is still an extensive process.</p> <p>Dr. Laurie A. Helgoe (2006), author of The Pocket Idiot’s Guide to Breaking Up, believes that, “By releasing the past, you can approach new relationships with a fresh perspective and clearer vision”. Releasing the relationship and person physically from one’s life will help to keep both from constantly resurfacing in everyday life. Releasing the relationship and person from the mind and daily thoughts allocates more space to think about other important things including future relationships.</p> <p><a name="See_also" id="See_also"></a></p> <h2><span class="editsection">[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Relationship_breakup&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: See also">edit</a>]</span> <span class="mw-headline">See also</span></h2> <ul> <li><a href="/wiki/Love-shyness" title="Love-shyness">Love-shyness</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Human_bonding" title="Human bonding">Human bonding</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Broken_heart" title="Broken heart">Broken heart</a></li> </ul> <p><a name="References" id="References"></a></p> <h2><span class="editsection">[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Relationship_breakup&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: References">edit</a>]</span> <span class="mw-headline">References</span></h2> <ul> <li>Lee, L.
