Whether or not you were together for two weeks, six months, or four
years, breakups hurt. And they can be really hard to get over. If you
listen to the wise words of Charlotte on Sex and the City,
it takes half the time you were together to get over him. Here are a
few more wise words to help make your next breakup a little easier.
Don't Talk to Him
The most crucial rule in breaking up is to not talk to the person
you're breaking up with. Even if you think you can handle it and still
get over the person, you can't. Don't kid yourself; feelings will get
hurt. Take some time off, get over him, and maybe someday in the future
you'll be friends. Until then, lick your wounds and recover any way
you'd like; whether that be partying hard, staying in bed for days with
pints of ice cream, or spending absurd amounts of money on clothes you
don't need. No one will say a thing; we all heal in our own, weird ways.
Snap Out of It
Remember how things, like stupid songs and movies and that little spot
in the park that you two went to on your first date used to be "yours"?
Well, they're not anymore. Don't make a connection to platonic objects
when there isn't one. Remind yourself that you like that spot in the
park because of the good view, not because of anyone connected to it.
There's no point losing more than you have to from a breakup, so don't
get all sappy on yourself.
Reconnect with Your Friends
No matter how much you say you're not going to be that girl who gives
up her friends for her boyfriend; everyone gives up a little of their
time to spend with their guy. Well, now is the time to make it up to
them (and, you could use the girl talk). So, go out and have fun; grab
your best wing woman, and remember how much fun being single really is.
Take Some Time For Yourself
Amidst all of this trying not to talk to him, hanging out with
friends, partying more and/or eating lots and lots of ice cream-you need
to remember to sit back and actually work through your feelings.
Understand why things went south, and why you're better off this way.
And in no time you'll be back to your old self, and what's-his-name will
be a thing of the past.
It's All About Rewards
And finally, do all of the little things that make you happy every
day. Yep, being single means thinking about you, you, you. So, go and
take that extra time after work and buy yourself that little ring you've
been obsessing over. Or take a long walk and meet a friend for cupcakes
because well, you can. Have fun spoiling yourself, because you deserve
it after....wait, what? I'm forgetting already.
