You’ve been wailing your heart out since you broke up with your boyfriend? Yes, it was a good three years of togetherness. So what went wrong? It could be anything—loss of interest or love, cheating, not compatible anymore, or priorities doing a complete U-turn.
But in the days (weeks?) after the break up, you will have the urge to do all kinds of stupid things—in the hope to get him back, or teach him a lesson, or just crush your body and mind in the process.
Stop. Think.
Is it worth it? No, we can’t help you get over your man. But we can definitely list out a few pointers to help you overcome that silly urge to get stupid.
1. Don’t drunk dial, butt dial or just dial your ex
Forget about it. You will call him in the middle of the night hoping he might answer and listen to your sob story. All those filmy clichés are bullshit. Cursing him will not make you feel better. There will only be more arguments, more tears, more heartbreak. Or, he might simply ignore your calls. Please don’t make a fool of yourself, and stop dialling his number when you’re a few shots down. All you’ll have the next day is major regret and a big hangover.
2. Don’t stalk him on Facebook
It’s not going to bring you good news—he will not write morose poetry for having lost you. It will not do you any good to see him partying with other women, or generally partying. Take our advice—unfriend him. It’s okay to do that. You want time off. Send him a friend request only when you know you’ve moved on. Or just don’t send any – you’re much better off when you know nothing. Clean start, anyone?
3. Sad songs? Please no!
Resist curling up in bed with an iPod full of depressing love songs. Or, locking yourself up in your room. It irritates the shit out of everyone around you. Understand that these songs don’t have an answer to the questions you have. They won’t bring him back. Period. And that song ‘Iris’ that defined your relationship, delete is the best way to go forward on that!
4. Weeping and wallowing to everyone
Yes, your friends want to know how you are doing, but they definitely do not want you moaning all the time. Yes, you need a shoulder to cry on, but don’t go around looking to lean on every shoulder around. Pick only your best friend/s to do that. Not the whole wide world.
5. Don’t be ‘too happy’ on Facebook / Twitter / Instagram
Yes, you’re miserable. You are bound to be. But you don’t need to hit every party in town, sport an arm candy, just to upload photos and posts on your Facebook wall the very next day. It’s not gonna make him jealous. It’s not gonna make him cry because you’re so happy. Too happy = Too much! Are we making any sense?
6. Don’t do rebound
Worst. Idea. Ever. It never works; and you’ll regret it as soon as you’ve slept with your rebound guy. You’ll lose interest the moment you slip into your clothes the morning after. More heartburn and more self-beating will follow. Give yourself to someone who deserves you, not to every Tom, Dick and Harry. Please.
7. Don’t hog tubs of ice-cream
Contrary to what popular culture would have you believe, ice-cream does more worse than good. The feel-good hormones get tickled temporarily. The minute your tub is over, you will find yourself craving for more. Don’t take it all out on your body, girl! The piles of fat you put on will only further add to your woes. You’ve lost your boyfriend. And now you’ve gained more unnecessary girth, and lost those lovely dresses you’d fit into once. Remember, only Cameron Diaz will look hot eating ice cream in her PJs – not mere mortals like us!
8. Don’t hate on the oh-so-happy couples
You’d gone on double dates innumerable times. And now you hate your partner couple with all your heart. Why? Because they’re still together. You’re being pathetic. Stop piling on your emotions on other people who are happy and actually care about you. However, if they can’t keep their hands off each other, when they come to you to show concern, feel free to ask them buzz off!
