How To Get Over A Bad Breakup

Posted: Jan 26, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

We’ve all been there. Your girlfriend or boyfriend dumps you out of the blue and throwing you for a loop. You thought everything was going so well, but apparently failed to see the same problem he or she did. Once the dust has settled, there are several dos and don’ts that one must follow to both get over the situation and avoid coming out looking like a crazy ex.

After being dumped, one of the worst things you can do is try and get him or her back. In your vulnerable state you might think there’s still a chance, but in most scenarios there isn’t. You were broken up with for a reason, so the best thing you can do is just let it go. Do not obsessively call her or text her or wait outside her window late at night holding up a boombox playing Peter Gabriel. That only works in the movies. Instead, you should focus on you and spend your new found singledom turning yourself into a better person. Give him or her a reason to regret dumping you, so the next time they see you with a pretty lass on your arm or a guy ripped straight out of GQ they’re realize what a mistake they made.

A mistake common among the dumpees is the inevitable spiral into depression and the pitiful and obsessively creepy attempts at winning back the dumper. Although varying in intensity from person to person, this can range to a simple day of crying then moving on to spending a week holed up in your room, crying into your pillow, and calling fifty times a day in a desperate attempt to use pity to get your former significant other back. While the former is relatively acceptable and almost expected, especially if the relationship was a long one, the latter is something to be avoided at all costs. But how do you do that?

Although at times it may seem like your emotions will get the best of you, you need to take a step back and realize this simply isn’t the end of the world. While your thoughts may be consumed of memories of your ex, and you may waffle between thoughts of utter love and devotion to thoughts of pure hate for what she did to you, the best thing you can do is find some way to keep your mind occupied. This can prove difficult, depending on each individual, but common ways to do so include simply working out, immersing yourself in your work or hobbies, or simply taking a vacation.

Being dumped is common, and there’s no reason you should take anything to extreme for a member of the opposite sex. It’s simply not worth it, and rest assured you will find someone else.
