Relationships

Dating & heartbreak

Your worth isn’t decided by a relationship.

Back to All topics

You can start here

A breakup, rejection, or confusing relationship can take up a lot of space in your heart. You can miss someone and still need boundaries.

A few next steps

  1. Talk with someone you trust before making a decision under pressure.
  2. Notice whether your boundaries are respected. Pressure, threats, and controlling behavior deserve support from a safe adult.
  3. Give yourself permission to step back from messages or social media that keep reopening the hurt.

If faith is helpful to you

Proverbs 4:23

Caring for your heart can include wise boundaries and asking for support.
