Love makes people happy and satisfied with their life. Romantic relationships are extremely important, especially for young people between the ages of 18 and 25 who are transitioning from adolescence to adulthood – life period refered too as emerging adulthood. This period is marked by exploration, instability and turmoils where finding the right partner for life and starting a family of their own is one of the main developmental tasks. Romantic relationships are becoming more serious and deeper during emerging adulthood, they last longer, yound individuals are learning much about themselves and recognizing what they want in a partner. During that learning process, relationship dissolutions also take place. Relationship dissolution is considered one of the most stressful events in life, which can have major impact on ones functioning. If we take into consideration the impact which dissolution may have, it is not surprising that it leaves both negative and positive outcomes. Literature on relationship dissolution is limited, especially for outcomes, there is a small number of qualitative studies and studies in Croatia are almost nonexistent. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the experiences of people after a romantic heterosexual relationship dissolution. Using Thematic analysis, we definded four main themes: relationship quality, relationsip dissolution and resulting changes, relationship dissolution outcomes, friendship following breakup and lessons learned from past relationship. Through their experience, participants learned what characteristics and traits are attractive to them, what their own strengths and weaknesses are, became braver, and realized how their future relationship shoud look like.
