What are some things you do to get through a breakup? :)

ugh. i'm the poster boy for people who deal terribly with breakups. :rolleyes:

 

so do you want a list of things i wish i do or things i actually do? :P

how about both? I need to give advice to someone, and my solution is just to not deal with them. For the first couple of weeks i'm in denial of the whole thing.

Take everything that reminds you of this person and throw it away.

 

Might be corny, but trust me it helps :)

emmm take 2 years to get over it !

uhhhh...cant help with that one....never had anyone to break up with :D

Me neither, but had to get some people off my mind :/

In my opinion... :)

The whole "we can still be friends" thing never works. There is always one of you feeling "this could be going somewhere", and most times it never does!

- Cutting your ties totally with the person is a good idea.

It allows you to get on with your life!

- Delete them from a mobile phone/address book/msn/yahoo/aim!

- And also what Kettercat said - get rid of the things that remind you of them!

 

Friends are a welcome distraction too :D

So true.

I mean, I'm still in touch with someone like that, and although I'm not in love with him anymore, every once in awhile I think, "Maybe we could go back to the way we were... maybe things are heading in the right direction..." and it always breaks my heart.

But then again, it's a one off -- I lost contact with all the others and I'm really glad I did.

woohoo!!

good for you :cool4:

:D

"Get rid of all pictures where he looks sexy...and you look happy."

 

First one to guess where that's from is a superstar! :lol:

Shopping therapy works wonders! When I broke up with my first bf, my best friend and I went on a series of girl's days out and they seriously helped. :)

hmmm...girls' day out, eh?? hmmm..that sounds like fun. :D

Aye what others have said here...being friends straight after a break up is nigh on impossible, too many other feelings are around...want, desire, hopefulness, sadness, etc...cut all ties for a while...depends on how long you went out...I went out with ex 18 months..took 6 months of total non contact before I was able to just talk to her as friends with no thoughts of wanting to get back together..

WOW! 6 months!! Geeez. :o

yup..but now we chat occasionally on MSN, and its fine...I needed those 6 months apart...to sort myself out, cos my life had just gone belly up from the break up and all plans i had washed away.

Wow. My friend said that it usually takes you half the time that you dated a person to be fully over them. I think she heard that from "Sex and the City" though. :D

its a fair assessment id say

So, if you dated someone for say, 6 years, it would take you 3 to be over them?? WOW!!

That's what I was going to say...

 

I'm just getting over someone I've been in love with for 3 and a half years... I don't want to wait THAT long :stunned:

I've just broken up with someone, but it took SO much out of me...Had to find myself again, sorta. I listened to U2's song Walk On all throughout that day, and by that night I was completely over it. It's amazing what music can do when you've just broken up with someone, or have suffered a breakup, or whatever. Walk On helped me to walk on, and leave it behind. See, I'd left my boyfriend in alot of pain when I broke up with him recently, and I didn't really want to hurt him so bad, but I did...Completely shook me.

awww..i'm sorry to hear that Maya. Yeah. I think that's a bit too long, but who knows..maybe it's different for everyone.

I tried to quit you but I'm too weak

Wakin' up without you I can hardly speak at all

 

Funny how my favorite shirt

Smells more like you than me

Bitter traces left behind

Stains no one can see

 

:)
