It is always said that there’s no replacement for first love of your life, that’s true and there’s also nothing like the first break up. The first breakup is the toughest to get over with but the second relationship is what helps a heartbroken soul to be happy again. So why second relationship because it gives you hope that no breakup is tough and you have someone made for you somewhere. Here are some reasons why the second relationship is better than the first relationship.

1. You are more mature

Getting in a relationship, breaking up and then getting over it, all these situations make a person go through a dangerous emotional roller coaster but when individuals experience all these emotions and feelings, they grow as a person. And when the second relationship starts this maturity helps a person to handle things better than they used to in the previous relationships.

2. You know yourself better

In a second relationship, people know themselves well. They know what they want and what they don’t want in their partner and what exactly they expect from their relationship. This clarity ensures a smooth bonding. This also makes you more confident in the relationship. And being your original self will make your partner appreciate you in even more.

3. You learn from your previous mistakes

Big or small, mistakes are mistakes and it just takes one to ruin a relationship. But in the second relationship, a person is well aware of all the mistakes they’ve committed in their first relationship. so the chances of those mistakes being repeated are fairly less.

4. There’s more trust and respect

Generally, in the first relationship, individuals are very clingy and overly possessive. But in the second relationship, a person becomes more secure because you learn to trust again. You let a person come in your life even after experiencing a heartbreak because you feel like trusting him/her. And this trust lets you respect your partner more. You also understand the fact that they have a life of their own and you have to respect their personal space.

5. You become more practical

First relationships are very innocent. Couples start believing that love is a forever thing, and they’ll stick together no matter what happens but when you experience a breakup, practical life hits you hard. But this practicality helps you in the second relationship. You are aware of the fact that it can end, so you put in more effort but you are also prepared for worst situations.

6. Second heartbreak hurts less

Since you’ve been through the heartbreak process earlier, the pain reduces in the second one. Obviously, you miss your partner and the love you had but then again you know you’ll get over it as you did the first time when it seemed impossible. And also there are chances that you become friends with your ex.

7. You know you’ll be able to love again

After the first break up, everyone thinks that it’s impossible to fall in love again but then the second relationship happens. The second relationship teaches you that you can fall in love again, you can give chance to a new person, you can take that leap of faith. You are not afraid to fall in love rather you become more open and positive with letting someone enter your life.
