Is this true for the 5 stages of what dumpers go through?

[Anonymous]

Stage 1 - immediate relief

Stage 2 - excitement/elation (freedom finally, acting out of character e. g. rebounding, sleeping around, partying, etc)

Stage 3 - nostalgia and comparison (of new fling/relationship)

Stage 4 - neutrality (letting go of bad memories and thinking more of positive memories)

Stage 5 - regret and sadness (realizes what they missing and start missing their ex, might regret their decision so will probably reach out)

If there's no cheating/abuse involved

True

False

Seriously? Are people's mind's so simple that they think they can sum up every situation into these quick little stages? Anyone who votes 'true' needs to reevaluate their mental health.
