How To Deal With Breakups - Must Read !!! by Eljay24(m): 5:15pm On Nov 29, 2014 |
Breaking up is tough, no matter the situation. Here's a few methods to deal with it. .. 1 Stop blaming yourself and thinking things like, "If only I'd watched more Bourne movies or House of Cards/ It takes two to break up — the problem wasn't just you, it was you two as a couple. It's almost reverse-narcissistic to blame yourself that much! If you try to look at the relationship from the outside, maybe you'll have an easier time seeing how you both contributed to the breakup. 2 Do Talk It Out Instead of keeping your feelings bottled up, go out with a few buds and vent. This can help you work through all the issues that led to your breakup or, at the very least, provide you with an outlet for all the thoughts and feelings you might be otherwise tempted to share with your ex during a drunk-dial session. 3 Don't Trash-Talk Your Ex While reflecting on your feelings about your breakup -- the good, the bad and the ugly -- can be cathartic, harping on your ex’s flaws and calling them names in front of others not only looks bad, but it makes you seem immature and petty. 4 Do Give Each Other (Cyber) Space The last thing you want to see after a bad breakup is a constant stream of pics and status updates documenting your ex’s life without you. We’re not saying that you have to go on an unfriending and untagging spree, but you should at least remove your ex from your social media news feeds to avoid receiving any updates about your ex’s life that might upset you or keep you from moving on. 5 Don't Stalk Respect yourself enough to know that planning ways to accidentally-on-purpose bump into your ex is not healthy. However, if you do accidentally bump into your ex at a party or another social setting, don't be an ass and blatantly ignore them. Wave or say "Hi," and then keep it moving. If your ex wants to engage in a conversation with you, let them make the first move. 6 A Break or a breakup? Do Be Clear About Your Intentions, there’s a really big difference between a break and a breakup. The former insinuates that you’re taking a break from one another (and dating in general) in an effort to sort out what you want out of life or your relationship, but you intend on eventually getting back together. When you’re broken up, however, all bets are off and you’re both free to go on and date whomever you want, whenever you want. 7 Begin some kind of intense, rage-based workout routine. Maybe this isn't a good time for yoga! Maybe it's a good time for something new, like kickboxing. Or any whatever would help you Really get some of that negative stuff out. 8 Spend a lot of time outside. It's a cliché, but fresh air really does clear your head. So does, you know, seeing the sun every once in a while. Take at least two hours from each day just to leave your Cave of Forgotten Dreams and interact with The Outside. 9 Work On Yourself Take this time to get to know yourself and indulge in a few new hobbies -- especially those that you held off on exploring out of consideration for your ex. 10 Rebound with one incredibly hot guy/girl "if that's what you want", and then give yourself some time to decompress and remember who you are. If you've had one rebound, you've had them all. 11 Don't Date Unless You're Truly Ready If you're still smarting over your last relationship, chances are you're not ready for a new one -- that's totally fine. Be honest with yourself and potential mates about this. That being said, there’s nothing wrong with remaining single for a while. The longer you’re alone, the more time you have to learn about yourself. 12 Don't Repeat your mistakes It may be clichéd, but it’s true: Those who don’t know their history are destined to repeat it. Don’t be a cliché. Figure out what went wrong in your last relationship -- that means accepting what you did wrong, too -- and vow to eliminate those patterns moving forward. If this was interesting feel free to share . .. |

Wow! This actually made sense. But i completely disagree on getting a rebound chic/guy. It's unhealthy. Rather, heal first. |
