Many people are faced with the question of how long after a relationship ends they can start building new ones.

Some people are concerned about whether it is normal practice to replace one partner with another without a significant break in the relationship.

In this article we will try to give a comprehensive answer.

According to psychologists, there is no specific time period after which you can start a new relationship.

The guideline in this matter should be the psychological state and readiness for new love.

There is no point in starting a new relationship to drown out the emotional pain that is tormenting you, just as there is no point in trying to prove something to your ex-partner or finding someone else before he (or she) does.

But if you have let go of the past, were able to recover from a painful (or not so painful) breakup and have the resources for new love, this means that you are ready to move forward.

The same applies to replacing one partner with another: you can switch to a new partner if you have psychologically ended the old relationship, the main thing is not to transfer your old grievances to the new person.
