Heartbreak hurts on Valentine’s Day. Therapists explain what we can learn from movie breakups

It’s the ending of an unstated contract, a connection that’s severed, stated G Roman Gupta, an L.A.-based licensed medical social employee and therapist. In some instances, we all know why the partnership didn’t work out, and in different situations, we’re left questioning what went flawed.
Mimi Fayer, an L.A.-based licensed marriage and household therapist, explains that breakups are a results of folks’s personalities, priorities and circumstances on the time. There isn’t a singular purpose why two folks resolve to finish their dedication to one another.
Generally we flip to our favourite Hollywood film {couples} to search out consolation or to attach with their onscreen ache.
Therapists Fayer, Gupta and Laura Heck and Zach Brittle of Marriage Remedy Radio share what we are able to be taught from fictional relationships that finish in tearful (however generally acceptable) separations. Heads-up, there are spoilers.
“500 Days of Summer season”
Breakup state of affairs: Differing expectations
A mutual love for the Smiths — and mischief in Ikea — plunges Summer season (Zooey Deschanel) and Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) right into a fling. Although Tom, a hopeless romantic, believes Summer season is the one, she tells him she doesn’t need to be somebody’s girlfriend. It in the end results in the top of their unlabeled relationship.
Heck stated lots of people know from the start of a relationship what their companion’s expectations are. Summer season instructed Tom she wasn’t searching for something severe. She requested him if that was OK, and he stated sure, regardless that that wasn’t true.
However some folks suppose they’ll change their companion. It’s the concept that “if [I] can simply present them a very good time, finally they’ll acquiesce to my need,” she stated.
Youthful {couples} usually don’t have a transparent concept of what their nonnegotiable values are but, she stated. For instance, it would take time to comprehend that one individual desires kids and the opposite doesn’t.
“Sure, they need to be in a relationship with you, they need to have a very good time, however finally it’s going to return all the way down to these nonnegotiable values,” Heck stated.
What else can we be taught?
Finish with compassion. Summer season once more expresses her curiosity in simply being mates with Tom, however the dialog ends with Tom storming off. “He’s somebody that attaches in a short time,” Gupta stated. “So my recommendation to him could be, possibly it’s best to take it gradual, dude. Possibly you shouldn’t do the identical factor. Meet this individual the place they’re, and hearken to them. Hear them.”
After a while, the 2 see one another once more and are capable of be amicable. Brittle stated it’s good that the connection ended with care and compassion, not with contempt or an try for both to manage the opposite individual.
“Should you’re going to be an individual that garners and deserves the respect of different folks, you must stay in that kind of compassion house far more than that contempt house,” he stated.
“Midsommar”
Breakup state of affairs: Codependency
On this horror-thriller movie, Christian (Jack Reynor) and Dani (Florence Pugh) are in a relationship that’s on the verge of ending, however a household tragedy retains them collectively. On a visit with Christian and his mates to a Swedish city throughout its midsummer competition, the couple’s fractured tie deteriorates additional as Christian pulls away. He feels trapped and doesn’t have persistence for a grieving Dani.

Gupta stated that movies usually depict these relationships as one individual leaning an excessive amount of on one other. However in actual life, he stated, these {couples} are sometimes based mostly on codependencies.
“We at all times have a look at it [as] the one that gained’t let go, however they need to be discovering somebody who can be re-creating that sample for themselves,” he stated.
Christian had plans to interrupt up with Dani, however after studying of her mother and father’ loss of life, he selected to stay round to help her. Though this looks like the proper factor to do, Gupta stated, it’s unhealthy habits to increase a relationship you don’t need to be in. Christian may have stated, “I do know this horrible factor occurred to you, however I can’t be right here for you,” and ended their relationship, Gupta stated.
What else can we be taught?
Know when to interrupt up. There’s each an emotional and a rational element to each resolution people make, Gupta stated. A wrestle we encounter pre-breakup is deciding whether or not a choice to separate could be good for us, regardless that it wouldn’t really feel good.
“As quickly as you end up in a relationship the place you’re saying, ‘It’s going to harm an excessive amount of to do that, however I ought to do that,’ you’re most likely in a state of affairs the place it’s time to make a change,” he stated.
The concern of that ache, Gupta stated, shouldn’t be sufficient to maintain you in a nasty state of affairs. Dragging issues out will simply make it worse.
“Our American tradition and our progress on individuality makes us really feel like we’re not accountable” for others’ emotions, Gupta stated. “Nevertheless, while you’re in a relationship, you might be. You might have some possession.”
“Loopy Wealthy Asians”
Breakup state of affairs: Household battle

Rachel tries a number of occasions to achieve the approval of Nick’s mom (Michelle Yeoh). She breaks up with him after she involves imagine his household won’t ever settle for her.
Gupta stated many Asian cultures have particular expectations about relationship and romance. Fayer noticed that in some cultures, when you enter a relationship with somebody, you additionally enter a relationship with that individual’s household. The important thing to a wholesome relationship is wholesome boundaries with relations. Nick didn’t set these boundaries, so his mom, prolonged household and mates meddled within the relationship.
Additionally, as a substitute of being sincere with Rachel, he saved his household background and their expectations from her.
“You may’t put your companion in some messed-up state of affairs and simply count on them to bounce again in a tradition the place household is so essential,” Gupta stated.
Added Fayer, “I feel plenty of occasions, folks get type of caught up in eager to make the connection work it doesn’t matter what.”
What Rachel did appropriately, she stated, was to know her boundaries and never compromise who she is for another person.
What else did we be taught?
Sit together with your emotions. After Rachel ends her relationship with Nick, she spends a number of days in mattress — an act that appears damaging however is OK, Fayer stated. Rachel reached out for assist and went to a spot she felt cherished and supported to take the time to course of her emotions. It’s wholesome to spend time going by the phases of grief.
“We’re all continuously making an attempt to run away from [our feelings] on a regular basis,” stated Fayer. “The issue with that’s you’re not permitting your self the house to completely really feel or course of what occurred.”
“La La Land”
Breakup state of affairs: Lack of compromise

There are plenty of competing forces in a relationship, Gupta stated. An enormous a part of a relationship is discovering compromises that don’t require excessive concessions. It’s additionally OK to comprehend that you really want one thing else greater than you desire a relationship.
Fayer added that if Sebastian and Mia actually wished to be in one another’s lives, they might have made the connection work. Realistically, she stated, Mia would have been gone for a number of months to movie, and Sebastian would have been on tour, however they might have come again to one another.
What else did we be taught?
Talk your wants. Fayer stated it was demoralizing for Mia to really feel that Sebastian wasn’t reciprocating the help she’d proven him throughout their relationship.
Having the ability to talk our wants in a relationship requires a certain quantity of vulnerability and intimacy.
“There have been issues of their relationship that saved constructing and constructing. It principally culminated when he didn’t present as much as her play and Mia felt unsupported,” she stated.
“Somebody Nice”
Breakup state of affairs: Whether or not to commit

Gupta stated whereas the breakup was upsetting, Nate’s response was wholesome. He was upfront with Jenny by telling her he couldn’t preserve a relationship with out her bodily being there. Nate genuinely supported her profession transfer, however he knew what sort of relationship he wished.
The true purpose for any breakup, Gupta stated, is that it’s over as a result of it was time for it to be over.
What else can we be taught?
Keep away from numbing. Jenny proposes having an evening out together with her girlfriends to rejoice her transfer and neglect about her breakup. Heck stated in Hollywood movies, we don’t see the portrayal of accepting unhappy emotions. As an alternative, we see: “OK, we simply broke up. Let’s get hammered and take my thoughts off of it.”
Heck stated it’s OK to be unhappy. You’re grieving a loss.
Wholesome coping expertise
People don’t like endings or loss. A breakup can really feel like abandonment. However Gupta stated these emotions are nothing to be ashamed of. We are able to be taught from these experiences.
“Figuring out the way you reply to abandonment, figuring out the way you reply to loss can solely find yourself making you a stronger, more healthy individual,” he stated.
Listed below are some methods to deal with the top of a relationship (whether or not or not it’s with a romantic companion, pal or member of the family) and develop.
Grieve. Grieving is available in all varieties, Brittle stated. There are 5 phases of grief in psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’ extensively used mannequin, and the way in which folks undergo the phases shouldn’t be linear — apart from the final stage: acceptance. We do need to undergo once we lose one thing we love, and what that appears like is completely different for every individual.
Write your emotions down. An expertise can take up an infinite quantity of house in your thoughts, Gupta stated. Continuously fascinated about a breakup will be your physique’s fight-or-flight response to that have. If you write your emotions down, “your fears, worries and upset emotions are often solely 5 issues,” he stated. Writing them down will help floor your self within the actuality of what these ideas are.
Hold busy. Gupta stated, “Your physique wants one thing to do to reengage with your individual life.” Undertake actions that make you’re feeling good.
Burn the reminiscences. Rituals corresponding to tearing up outdated photos or throwing an outdated T-shirt within the hearth can deliver some peace and closure. Brittle stated our brains can fixate on a breakup till we really feel the top is resolved.
“The ritual is de facto about saying, ‘Nope, that is the top,’ in order that my mind will not give cognitive room to that have,” he stated.
In 2012, Ethan Frisch was working for a development organization in Afghanistan when he saw a vendor selling wild cumin at a local market.
“I thought I knew my way around spices,” said Mr. Frisch, 38, recalling his experience at the market in Badakhshan Province. “But I had never tasted anything like this.”
Mr. Frisch had worked as a cook in London, where he attended graduate school for international development, and in New York, including time at Tabla, the fine-dining Indian restaurant by the chef Floyd Cardoz and the restaurateur Danny Meyer. He started bringing bags of cumin home to New York to share with friends in the restaurant industry, garnering rave reviews with each taste. He realized that there was a market for spices sourced directly from farmers.
In 2016, he started Burlap & Barrel, a single-origin spice company, with his friend Ori Zohar. The two had collaborated years earlier on Guerrilla Ice Cream, a roving ice cream cart that served flavors inspired by political and activist movements. Mr. Zohar came from a business background, working in marketing and advertising, and helped found a tech start-up that shut down in 2017.
Mr. Frisch put his life savings — about $20,000 — into starting the business. He ran it out of his one-bedroom apartment in Queens, cold-calling restaurants and showing up to kitchens with a backpack full of spices to give chefs a taste. He built up a base of spice suppliers, using skills and connections he developed while working with the Aga Khan Foundation on rural infrastructure projects in Afghanistan, and doing logistics for Doctors Without Borders in Jordan.
For years, Mr. Frisch and Mr. Zohar flew overseas to stock up on inventory, returning with duffel bags full of cardamom, cumin, nutmeg and more. They would bring back enough spices to “fund the cost of the trip,” Mr. Frisch said. (“I had some funny conversations with the customs officers,” he added.)
In 2019, Burlap & Barrel embarked on its first chef collaboration: a line of masala spice blends with Mr. Cardoz.
After Mr. Cardoz died from Covid-19 in March 2020, his wife, Barkha Cardoz, continued to work with Burlap & Barrel, releasing the blends in October 2020, in honor of what would have been Mr. Cardoz’s 60th birthday. The company received more than a thousand orders that day — its biggest day of sales at that time.
The founders realized that there was “a way to connect a home-cook audience to a chef, through a spice blend,” Mr. Frisch said, and collaborations became a core part of their business. Amid the early months of the pandemic, Mr. Frisch and Mr. Zohar saw an increase in orders as more people made their meals at home.
In April 2023, another breakthrough moment came when they appeared on the reality TV show “Shark Tank.”
“It almost doesn’t even taste like conventional cinnamon — I mean, it’s, like, incomparable,” Gwyneth Paltrow, a guest “Shark,” said after trying the brand’s Royal Cinnamon variety from Vietnam.
Mr. Frisch and Mr. Zohar didn’t end up with a deal, but they gained publicity and a surge of new customers. In 2024, the company did about $9 million in sales, according to Mr. Frisch.
Over the years, they have collaborated with chefs including Marc Murphy; Ashleigh Shanti; Sohla and Ham El-Waylly, who are New York Times contributors; and the fashion designer and cookbook author Peter Som. Recently, they teamed up with Martha Stewart on a poultry seasoning, and with Jane Goodall on jars of honey from the Miombo woodlands of Tanzania.
Now, more than eight years later, what began as a scrappy passion project is a growing brand and social enterprise with big-name collaborations, home-cook devotees, celebrity fans and cameos in the background of the FX show “The Bear.”
The chefs Omar Tate and Cybille St. Aude-Tate, founders of Honeysuckle Provisions, an Afrocentric grocery and cafe in West Philadelphia that was named one of Eater’s best new restaurants of 2023, collaborated with Burlap & Barrel. They wanted to work with them, Mr. Tate said, both because of the sheer flavor of the spices, and because of their ethical and intentional approach to working with farmers.
“They make sure that the communities that they are sourcing from are respected — not just through the ingredients that are being extracted and that they’re exporting to make these profits, but they’re also redistributing that wealth to the community,” Mr. Tate said.
At Hani’s Bakery and Cafe in Lower Manhattan — a new spot from Miro Uskokovic, the former Gramercy Tavern pastry chef, and his wife, Shilpa Uskokovic, an editor at Bon Appétit — Burlap & Barrel’s Royal Cinnamon is used in their popular malted cinnamon buns.
The cinnamon “is the only one we’ve found that offers the right combination of strength and florality to stand up to all that cream cheese and butter,” Mr. Uskokovic wrote in an email.
“As a chef, the one thing that we have always lacked is any kind of traceability or any kind of transparency in spices, in herbs,” said Rick Bayless, the celebrated Chicago chef and restaurateur who specializes in Mexican cuisine. “When I found Burlap & Barrel, I wanted to get to know these guys and see what they were doing, because they were telling stories about who grew this cumin and who grew these peppercorns.”
Transparency and storytelling is at the heart of the business. As what’s known as a public benefit corporation — a for-profit company that focuses on contributing to a social good — Burlap & Barrel seeks “to connect smallholder farmers to high-value markets,” said Mr. Zohar, 39.
“Our business works because we’re paying the farmers more, which then allows the farmers to not just grow the spices, but they clean the spices, they dry the spices, they grind the spices, they prepare them for export,” he said.
The company now consists of 20 people, most of whom are contractors, and works with farmers in about 30 countries including Vietnam, Turkey and Guatemala, often helping with the logistics of the export process. The founders visit farms to meet the farmers and see firsthand the practices and products of each potential partner.
Shadel Nyack Compton, the owner and managing director of Belmont Estate, a family farm and tourist destination in Grenada, works with Burlap & Barrel to sell nutmeg and bay leaves. The farm — whose main crop is cocoa — has been in her family for 80 years.
In 2021, Ms. Nyack Compton found Burlap & Barrel online. She was looking for new business and wanted to work with a company that was interested in developing a relationship with farmers. “We want our story to be told,” she said.
“Spices represent a lot to a lot of different people,” Mr. Frisch said. “A spice jar becomes a way to tell a story, to evoke a memory, to teach about a culture or a cuisine, to give someone the opportunity to do their own cooking in a different way.”
Burlap & Barrel is unique, Ms. Nyack Compton said, because the company works to “establish this kind of equitable, transparent supply chain,” an approach she said is more often seen in the cocoa and chocolate space. With spices, she said, “it’s very novel.”

Man who exploded Tesla Cybertruck outside Trump hotel in Las Vegas used generative AI, police say
The highly decorated soldier who exploded a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump hotel in Las Vegas used generative AI including ChatGPT to help plan the attack, Las Vegas police said Tuesday.
Nearly a week after 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger fatally shot himself, officials said according to writings, he didn’t intend to kill anyone else.
An investigation of Livelsberger’s searches through ChatGPT indicate he was looking for information on explosive targets, the speed at which certain rounds of ammunition would travel and whether fireworks were legal in Arizona.
Kevin McMahill, sheriff of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, called the use of generative AI a “game-changer” and said the department was sharing information with other law enforcement agencies.
“This is the first incident that I’m aware of on U.S. soil where ChatGPT is utilized to help an individual build a particular device,” he said. “It’s a concerning moment.”
In an emailed statement, OpenAI said it was committed to seeing its tools used “responsibly” and that they’re designed to refuse harmful instructions.
“In this case, ChatGPT responded with information already publicly available on the internet and provided warnings against harmful or illegal activities. We’re working with law enforcement to support their investigation,” the emailed statement said.
Launched in 2022, ChatGPT is part of a broader set of technologies developed by the San Francisco-based startup OpenAI. Unlike previous iterations of so-called “large language models,” the ChatGPT tool is available for free to anyone with an internet connection and designed to be more user-friendly.
During a roughly half-hour-long news conference, Las Vegas police and federal law enforcement officials unveiled new details about the New Year’s Day explosion.
Among the specifics law enforcement disclosed: Livelsberger stopped during the drive to Las Vegas to pour racing-grade fuel into the Cybertruck, which then dripped the substance. The vehicle was loaded with 60 pounds (27 kilograms) of pyrotechnic material as well as 70 pounds (32 kilograms) of birdshot but officials are still uncertain exactly what detonated the explosion. They said Tuesday it could have been the flash from the firearm that Livelsberger used to fatally shoot himself.
Authorities also said they uncovered a six-page document that they have not yet released because they’re working with Defense Department officials since some of the material could be classified. They added that they still have to review contents on a laptop, mobile phone and smartwatch.
Among the items released was a journal Livelsberger kept titled “surveillance” or “surveil” log. It showed that he believed he was being tracked by law enforcement, but he had no criminal record and was not on the police department’s of FBI’s “radar,” the sheriff said Tuesday.
The log showed that he considered carrying out his plans in Arizona at the Grand Canyon’s glass skywalk, a tourist attraction on tribal land that towers high above the canyon floor. Assistant Sheriff Dori Koren said police don’t know why he changed his plans. The writings also showed he worried he would be labeled a terrorist and that people would think he intended to kill others besides himself, officials said.
Once stopped outside the hotel, video showed a flash in the vehicle that they said they believed was from the muzzle of the firearm Livelsberger used to shoot himself. Soon after that flash, video showed fire engulfing the truck’s cabin and even escaping the seam of the door, the result of considerable fuel vapor, officials said. An explosion followed.
Livelsberger, an Army Green Beret who deployed twice to Afghanistan and lived in Colorado Springs, Colorado, left notes saying the explosion was a stunt meant to be a “ wake up call ” for the nation’s troubles, officials said last week.
He left cellphone notes saying he needed to “cleanse” his mind “of the brothers I’ve lost and relieve myself of the burden of the lives I took.”
The explosion caused minor injuries to seven people but virtually no damage to the Trump International Hotel. Authorities said that Livelsberger acted alone.
Livelsberger’s letters touched on political grievances, societal problems and domestic and international issues, including the war in Ukraine. He wrote that the U.S. was “terminally ill and headed toward collapse.”
Investigators had been trying to determine if Livelsberger wanted to make a political point, given the Tesla and the hotel bearing the president-elect’s name.
Livelsberger harbored no ill will toward President-elect Donald Trump, law enforcement officials said. In one of the notes he left, he said the country needed to “rally around” him and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
Some shoes we simply wear. Others, we debate endlessly.
New Balance’s mutant 1906L is clearly in the latter category. Introduced last year, New Balance’s shoe is a mash-up of a sneaker and a loafer, christened the “Snoafer” by the internet. It’s a mutt-like design caught in the liminal space between informal and formal.
Whatever else the Snoafer may be, it has been polarizing. Versions of the shoes keep selling out (though how many have been produced is unclear), yet detractors say that the Snoafer is just plain ugly.
In an edited conversation, Jon Caramanica, Stella Bugbee and Jacob Gallagher, three members of The New York Times staff (two of whom actually purchased the Snoafers) discuss the shoe’s Frankensteinian merits, how it has been received by their respective family members and if it’s actually ugly enough.
STELLA BUGBEE There’s something profoundly perverse about these shoes.
JACOB GALLAGHER I could see someone saying that they don’t go together in an orange juice and toothpaste sort of way, but perverse? Say more.
BUGBEE They don’t know what they want to be, and yet they are unapologetically themselves. That tension produces an uncomfortable feeling in me — in a good way, I think.
GALLAGHER I felt that way a bit when I saw them online, but when I put them on after buying them and looked down, I thought, “Oh, is that all there is?”
JON CARAMANICA Seeing them, I immediately thought of, say, vintage Geox shoes — the sort of brand you might see in a print ad deep into the cheap pages of a men’s magazine. Or even worse, those terrible attempts at athletic office footwear from Cole Haan. We all hate those things.
GALLAGHER You’re talking about Cole Haan’s LunarGrands, which were a monstrosity. They called attention to their juxtapositions. The upper was dressy, while the sole, which was often neon, was not just informal, but futuristic. Or so Cole Haan wanted you to think. The 1906Ls though, meld. They’re like the creature at the end of “The Substance.” They takes two distinct halves and distort them into one uncanny whole.
BUGBEE The reaction I got when I posted pictures of the 1906Ls on Instagram was overwhelmingly negative, which only made me think that they were cooler. If everybody hates a thing, it must be doing something right?
GALLAGHER But to go back to your earlier point, Stella. Do you think people thought they were perverse or merely ugly? Are people reacting to this shoe because it’s new or because they find it unappealing? That’s an important distinction.
BUGBEE I can’t tell. I don’t think the 1906Ls are ugly, but that was the consensus from my friends and family.
CARAMANICA My counterpoint is that they are not ugly enough! The black pair especially.
GALLAGHER I’m with Jon here. They’re not ugly. They’re definitely not in the category of Jon’s beloved Balenciaga Triple S, a sneaker that knowingly bonked itself on every branch of the ugly tree.
BUGBEE People especially hated the tiny “N” on the top.
CARAMANICA That’s funny about the “N” — that’s the gesture on this shoe that feels maybe a touch radical? Like some intersection of a $3 pair of “breathable sock shoes” you’d find on Temu and the very long tail of Virgil Abloh’s sense of play with text on clothing.
GALLAGHER The “N” might be the riskiest thing on the shoe! Who puts a logo there? That to me is part of the appeal. They’re giving something new to a hype consumer (after all, they keep selling out) while knowingly dipping into geriatric territory.
CARAMANICA Can I offer two more reference points for shoes that tried to walk this tightrope before? First, my beloved Jordan Two3 Cavvy from the early 2000s, which is essentially a Prada loafer with an athletic tilting sole and an accentuated elastic top. A messy blend of casual and formal. And second is the Nike Air Verdana, a golf shoe, also from the early 2000s.
In their day, I disliked both of these. But at least on the Cavvy, I have come around to its elegance. Which is to say, maybe the 1906L will just need two decades to be normalized and appreciated.
BUGBEE I put them more in the category of the Nike Air Rift Tabis — sneakers with mutant ambitions.
CARAMANICA Yes, but the Rifts don’t pretend to any kind of formality.
BUGBEE The 1906Ls do not feel formal to me. They retain their sneakerness.
CARAMANICA Then it sounds like what you want is … a sneaker?
BUGBEE No, I wanted a comfy slip-on, with the shape of a loafer and the sole of a sneaker that would make my whole family want to walk 10 feet away from me in public.
GALLAGHER So you wanted the repulsion?
BUGBEE Yeah, I like a little troll.
