If you don't, you'll repress your feelings until you break down in the office pantry while you're microwaving your pasta and that passive-aggressive asshole Susan comes over and takes you to the women's bathroom and murmurs a bunch of vaguely religious-sounding proverbs like, "This too shall pass." And then every time you and Susan make contact afterwards, it will be weird.ġ0. Allow yourself to cry when you need to. Thus preventing a giant tidal wave of #feels to wash over you in the workplace, or the DMV, or anywhere else inappropriate. If you take it step by step and enjoy it as a casual thing for a while, that'll give you some time to evaluate whether you're actually ready to be with someone again or if you're just ready to have really hot sex with them in an elevator once in a while.ĩ. You just ended a relationship and your heart flipped over and exploded like a tanker in a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie. If you start dating someone else, take it really slow. Dude. If you've had one rebound, you've had them all, in this woman's opinion.Ĩ. But then slow down and be low-key for a while. Rebound with one incredibly hot guy, if that's what you want, and then give yourself some time to decompress and remember who you are. Go out and get yourself some strange from a guy who is either a King of Leon or just has dirty hair. Take at least two hours from each day just to leave your Cave of Forgotten Dreams and interact with The Outside.ħ.
So does, you know, seeing the sun every once in a while. Spend a lot of time outside. It's a cliché, but fresh air really does clear your head.
Really get some of that negative stuff out.Ħ. Begin some kind of intense, rage-based workout routine. Maybe this isn't a good time for yoga! Maybe it's a good time for something new, like kickboxing. Him replying, "nothing," to your booze-fueled, "sup," does not mean you'll have a spring wedding.ĥ. Drunk-texting an ex is a two-steps-forward-one-step-back slide down the rabbit hole. and assumed if he texts back, he still has feelings for me. If you want to drunk-text, get your friend to take your phone away or throw it in a volcano. Oh, the number of times I have drunk-texted something cryptic to an ex at 2 a.m. At least be sad with people you love! We've all been heartbroken - it's not like they'll judge you for drinking wine with dirty hair, in Family Guy pajamas.Ĥ. When you've just broken up with someone, you get all nihilistic, and because there is probably not a Hot Topic near you to get some KoRn CDs, you get too hammered to see and wind up hooking up with a 50-year-old married man with a ponytail in a bar bathroom. If you feel an impulse to get drunk alone, call some friends instead. It's the worst being alone and sad and drunk. You're not admitting defeat by not staying friends with him.ģ. Gotta work that shit out before it can be a healthy friendship … if it ever can be. Generally, one person wants to be friends and the other wants to be more. But truthfully, during this stilted, awkward breaking-up period, it's hard to tell whether you'll be able to be friends or not. You're so chill that your heart isn't beating. Don't immediately suggest to "stay friends" - and if he does, tell him you need to think about it. This is an impulse because you don't want to seem like you care too much about the breakup.
