That's assuming the alternative is a 'good' breakup? And is it final? If there's hope for a link-back then go with that.

Well, it's either you look for a way to numb yourself to the pain. Or you could take stock of what went wrong and try to deal with it so it doesn't become baggage for the next one.

Also if you really were into the person, it never goes away so you have to find a way to live with it.

Sorry for your hurt. sad

Re: How Do You Get Over A Break-up? by DonEse125(f): 9:59pm On Dec 03, 2008
I'm not sure whether it's final,i want to believe it's not,but i dont want to give myself false hope. As for numbing myself to the pain,work does that,when i'm at work i cant think of anything other than work,but i cant work 24 hrs a day. The question is,what do i do in the interim? And i dont think a rebound r/shp wld be a good idea.

Re: How Do You Get Over A Break-up? by zeeno(m): 12:14am On Dec 04, 2008
The best way to get over it, is just to do any thing u know dat makes u happy and mix up with friend. which i know is not easy, but u won't kill urself over what u can predict dat will happen tomorrow. cheer up urself and stand up to face the future which is more important.

Re: How Do You Get Over A Break-up? by spikyn: 6:40pm On Dec 05, 2008
@iice: wetin I do?  embarassed


@Don-Ese: I think nixing the rebound option is good. I assume you know this person well? Are you guys in touch at all? I know you're trying not to do the 'bug-a-boo' thing but it is silence that divides and keeps us apart, even if all you guys do is talk around the issue, as long as you're still in touch, there's hope but . . . if you guys do move on separately try to hold the 'manifesto night' as early as possible. Bottomline: stay in touch so if he still wants you back, he knows the door is still open. On another thing: I find that if you are the one who brings the bad news home first in a relationship, it does far better than if an 'ECOMOG'/third party does. So I hope whatever you told him, he heard from you first??

'It shall good'.

P.S. try not to break the PS3 pad in half   lipsrsealed

@spikyn, just didn't know you come to this section smiley

@Ese, if there is a chance that he's still open to working it out with you, then that is good right?
Yes, just give him time.

There's no cure. You may try to delete his number, engage yourself in other activities but the fact still remains that time heals all wounds kiss With time you'll prove me right tongue
Re: How Do You Get Over A Break-up? by Nobody: 11:48pm On Dec 05, 2008
Eat a lot of junk food, talk to friends, cry, laugh, go to the gym.
Go on a long holiday or a brk- change of scene. It took me 6 months to get over my ex.
Re: How Do You Get Over A Break-up? by maedan(f): 2:03am On Dec 06, 2008
Go shopping - do some retail therapy, buy yourself some kick-ass, feel-good clothes, shoes etc.

Focus on you: lose weight, get make-overs, go to the gym etc. Looking great is good compensation.

GO OUT. Meet new people, hang out with good friends and family.

PS, that rebound thing really works!!! Go for it. Just never go back to your ex after that. It'll never be the same! shocked

Try call of duty 4 or any of the mortal kombat series.
It should drain out all the bad thunks, stress, anger and strain.

Re: How Do You Get Over A Break-up? by arramyjay: 3:19am On Dec 06, 2008
Ok i have just have one,And this is what i did.
First of all i made sure i wasnt at fault so i didnt feel guilty and as a result lose myself respect in trying to make me feel better(I mean calling and stuffs) so that was out of the way I have a sisters group so i called them up after 1 week,The one week was for me wallow in self pity listening to all sorts of love and hate songs,and also i eat my way up to 70kg I mean i was fat,anything you do never listen to boys 2 men when u are recovering from a heart break.So after 1 week i called my sisters and we talked about it,though it wasnt easy but they made feel better.And after 2weeks i started smiling again.

So basically this is my point.

1 Make sure you are not at fault.
2 Wallow in self pity for a week,I mean take the blame and all that.Cry if you have to.
3 Eat alot,it wil be fun loosing the weight.
4 listen to songs especially soft songs,I recommend this ones.(beyonce, Me myself and I,bug a boo,Indepent woman. and some others.)
5 Talk to some1 when you have healed abit.
6 Forgive him but never forget,You do this so that you dont have anymore hate and it is way of opening for better things.
Re: How Do You Get Over A Break-up? by AdamBrody1(m): 5:21am On Dec 06, 2008
Bullshit! Everybody here is talking nonsense.

The best way to feel good with yourself is to reminisce for a while say 3 months, plan your strategies and begin to date boys serially and dump them afterwards , tops 4 months and make it open and public. You will feel good and powerful and before you know it, breaking up will become a parcel of you and you will shed no tear for your ex or your self!

Any other method you have been told is a cheesy online romantic theraphy. Start doing the break ups your self but choose boys who are madly in love with you! grin

I am sure that is why you were heart broken few years ago.

@arramyjay
1-i was at fault.
2-i dont cry. I hurt,yes,but i dont cry.
3-i hate working out,so eating a lot wont solve my prob. I'd rather work a lot.
4-two of my sisters are coming over to drag me 2 a girls day out,there'll be lots of ice-cream and male-bashing.
