Omogbhollahorn: #7. Do not listen to 'Adele -
Someone like you' on repeat
I guess that's self-explanatory.
You so funny i guess ur female fwends made u c diz point
Nahh. I know what that song does to me even though I'm not experiencing a heartbreak at the moment. Its better to make Adele and other Adele-like singers your enemy during that period.

caseless: Breakup? The worst form of heartbreak for me is when i'm barred or prevented from accessing the pothole in between her legs...and that's followed by a breakup from me...shap-shap. Op, number 11.call d police whenever u see her to refund ur money, since there was no return on investment.
Is that what a relationship is to you? I pity her sha

#2. Don't Stay friends
There is no way you can remain friends with an ex if you still have feelings for him. You can eventually be friends but not immediately after a breakup. Haba! Give yourself some time. Remaining friends only gives him/her permission to treat you like crap while he/she borrows money from you, has occasional sex with you when he can’t find anyone else, and sometimes lean on you for emotional support when he has a bad day! Accept the truth. He’s not going to change his mind and realize breaking up with you was a bad idea. He’s just going to use you until he finds someone to take your place. So please, DO NOT stay friends with him for now!

This write up is lopsided in favour of ladies.

Anyway, on a side note she separated and later asked to be friends. Who am I to say no with the fringe benefits that comes with it? undecided undecided undecided

At least I am sure of yanshing anytime. wink wink wink

Hi FIVE girl!!!!! cheesy cheesy cheesy

On a serious note though,getting to this stage wasn't easy at all,I cant thank God enough for seeing me through the break-up of an engagement/relationship which we had for years. But now I'm having the time of my life, socially, professionally and in every way. My self-confidence now is amazing and generally just a happy child. Word of advice (for the serious ones and not the jokers who jump in and out of casual relationships), dont let bitterness rule you, find solace in God..the process might seem slow but trust him, he'll do a complete job from the inside out. Move on from the blame game. Accept your part in contributing to what happened and LEARN from it so u can be better for the next person. Accept that everything happens for a reason and whatever doesnt kill u makes u stronger and better like refined GOLD...

Will post more if anything else comes up. Take care of yourselves.

Bros I pity and feel for you, I undastand what u are going through right now. Just Ignore her and don't look her way again. Try and see the ugly part of that relationship and develop serious hatred for her, it will work. Cos it happened to me at a time too.

Very bad advice...Hating only affects the hater. The person being hated is most times blissfully oblivious so don't pollute urself with such.
Move on, u'll be fine.

Re: 9 Things To Avoid After A Breakup by Koolking(m): 11:18am On Oct 30, 2012
mitchyy: Breakups can be a very difficult experience. You’re crying, confused, and your heart feels like it’s in a million pieces. It’s not called heartbreak for nothing. But learn to let it go. The world has something better in store for you. But while you’re waiting here are 9 things you shouldn't do after a breakup.

Ready to hear them? Cool, let's go

#1. Don't Stalk him/her
You're way too smart to stalk him or her physically after your breakup. Of course you are...BUT...on social media? That's tempting. Facebook, Twitter, BBM(blackberry messenger), instagram, his/her blog. Never! Do you really want to torture yourself with each new female friend he adds and see cute little comments from babes/guys you know were interested in him/her in the past? You don't need to know where he or she's going or who he or she's going with. It hurts. Move on.

#2. Don't Stay friends
There is no way you can remain friends with an ex if you still have feelings for him. You can eventually be friends but not immediately after a breakup. Haba! Give yourself some time. Remaining friends only gives him/her permission to treat you like crap while he/she borrows money from you, has occasional sex with you when he can’t find anyone else, and sometimes lean on you for emotional support when he has a bad day! Accept the truth. He’s not going to change his mind and realize breaking up with you was a bad idea. He’s just going to use you until he finds someone to take your place. So please, DO NOT stay friends with him for now!

#3. Do not Isolate yourself
You're way too fabulous and amazing to be shut-in. Do not stay cooped inside your room all day with the blinds shut. You'll do yourself more harm than good. Get out! Go to the beach on its busiest days. (We have so many in Nigeria, especially in lagos). Attend events, not those emotional stage plays. Take some risks! Meet with some of your crazy energetic friends at the club. Wear red lipstick and some killer stillettos and work it because you can.

#4. Don't waste energy on revenge
Revenge is utter crap. Don't get even. Get over it.

#5. Do not tell "your story" to everyone
Almost everyone falls victim to this. Hold back. Don't tell everybody how you've been wronged. Boooooooooring! Save it. The longer you hold on to "your story" and keep soliciting sympathy, the longer it will take you to move forward...and we don't want your friends to dump you, too. (That doesn't mean you shouldn't talk to someone about it. The emphasis here is telling 'EVERYONE').

#6. Don't be "on the hunt"
Don't jump on the relationship bandwagon too soon. Contrary to the general belief, the best way to get over a guy/lady is not to date another one immediately. Take your time. Enjoy your new Freedom.

#7. Do not listen to 'Adele - Someone like you' on repeat
I guess that's self-explanatory.

#8. Don’t think your Facebook page is going to convince him to come back
I have a friend who made up a boyfriend just to make her ex jealous. She changed her status, her photos, she changed her BBM display picture and Facebook profile picture to her and a hot dude hugging tightly. But what did the ex think? When i asked him, i discovered he didn't even notice. So, yes, in most cases, it doesn't work.

#9. Do not turn to alcohol
Drowning our sorrows in bottles of beer can sometimes seem pretty appealing. The chances are, you’ll get drunk and then make one or more of the other mistakes on this list.

Know someone going through a heartbreak? Please share with them

Hey Mitchyy, thanks a lot. I have been practically listening to Adele "Don't you remember". The song gives me memories too beautiful to realise she is gone. It's been difficult accepting she was a shadow in my life. Thank you for these tips.

Don't even know what this Adele's song sound like

I'm not a fan of soul music or whatever genre of music she sings

Anyways nice write up. This would do a world of good to those who get stuck thinking of their broken relationship finding it difficult to move on.

Op, good thinking...
