10 ways to get over your ex
March 20, 20061.Feel it
Tis’ a sad fact that breakups hurt. Feelings don’t just die. It’s not a switch (though sometimes I wish it were) that you can just turn off and on. So if you’re feeling sad, depressed, used, furious…feel it…cry it out …cuss it out and once you’ve finished…let it go.
2.Talk about it
Go to your best friend and talk about what happened ideally with a bottle of beer so if your friend gets bored at least she’ll find solace in that bottle of beer.
3.Accept that it’s over
Don’t hold on to the hope that someday you’ll get back again. Accept that it’s over for good.
4.Think of the negative side of the relationship
People tend to romanticize the past. Don’t! Think of the times that he hurt you and treated you like sh*t.
5.Go out and have fun!
Do the things that you were not able to enjoy when you were still part of a relationship. You might not be ready for a new relationship but it shouldn’t stop you from going out on dates. Check out the other singles. Expand your horizon and meet new friends. Enjoy singlehood!
6.Adopt a new hobby or revive old ones
Dust off that stamp album. Shine that coins that your uncle gave you. Finish that 10 year old cross stitch. But I highly recommend blogging hehehe
7.Don’t listen to sappy love songs
“And I’m so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still here
Said I’m so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can’t I turn off the radio?”
So the song goes from ne-yo…well love songs can do more harm than good so turn off that damn radio!
8.Pamper yourself
Spas & massage centers are more accessible now so go visit the nearest one and relax. You owe it to yourself.
9.This too shall pass
Trust that time heals all wound. If you’re down then there’s nowhere to go but up. In times like this, say to yourself always…”this too shall pass”
10.If all else fails…get laid!

Posted by Mark at August 16, 2006, 9:32 pmI really felt I have a dependency over my bf… Im afraid to think about it, and not even ready for a breakup… I dont want to loose him. I'm such a love fool…
Posted by Mark at August 16, 2006, 9:34 pm[8] i guess we are all afraid of losing so we should live one day at a time and not think of "what might" happen.your bf is lucky to have you and you're lucky that you're capable of loving like that but you should set a limit so you can get yourself back when the time comes when your greatest fear will be realized.taasa oi.amen!
ok you have a point but it is really hard to in my case when your bf breaks up with you but you still be friends with him and he still flirts and is way to nice to you. i seriously just wish to break up with him and get with his best friend to bad he is going out with my best friend

ok…first of all this comment comes with all respect that is due the author…
there have been numbers of pieces written regarding the 'complex' situtation that is 'getting over one's ex'. but in my most humble opinion, there really is nothing complex about it…a breakup is a breakup is a breakup. that simple. there is no 'read between the lines' sh*t in it, there's no user's manual for it. deal with it on your own. don't buy books about it just because they're national bestsellers. if the breakup itself doesn't make you crazy, the shi*ty books sure as hell will. it's a breakup. get the f*ck over it.
