Olivexx Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Okay, so we've all reached the "mourning" phase of our relationship. We've cried and sobbed and reached a low point of our lives where we didn't feel like doing anything but curling up our beds clutching their pictures. And FINALLY, we have come to the realization that they may or may not come back... But you know what? You don't care anymore (or maybe you do and you try not to think about it). You are ready to go out in the world and move on with your life! Everyone here agrees that missing your ex becomes a lot easier if we all keep busy and make it seem like our lives are fabulous without them. I want to start a thread here to keep track of what we have all been doing, what hobbies we've discovered, or any advice on how to function without our former other halves. We can give each other new ideas on what to do or how to have fun again. I feel that the best revenge on an ex is showing them they are WRONG for thinking that you can't live without them. We are all STRONG individuals. We often forget that we were GREAT before them, and we will continue to be great without them!
Author Olivexx Posted March 20, 2011 Author Posted March 20, 2011 My ex of 1 and a half years just broke up about a week ago. I've gone out with my friends a lot since then. We hit up the hookah bar, gone to the bars and clubs, and even caught up with some friends I've dropped/stopped talking to while I was with my ex. I found that I really bonded with a lot of my girlfriends who have also recently split from their boyfriends too. It really helps us to just talk about it over a glass of wine or go out on a "single ladies" night at the bar. If you're a girl, stick with your girlfriends! They are supportive no matter what (if they are your true friends) and will always be there for you when you want to vent about your ex. Also, you don't have to worry about them trying to make a move on you since you're newly single (I've felt this from a few of my guy friends). My girl friend and I are going to the gun range tomorrow to shoot some rounds off. I'm really excited about this! I've been wanting to go but my ex never wanted to take me. Also, I think it's a great way to release some tension and anger from my breakup. I'm also thinking about getting my motorcycle license. I've wanted one for years but never had the opportunity to get one. Now is the perfect time! Hopefully I will be able to save up and buy a beautiful street bike to boot. I have things lined up for this week as well as the next month (my birthday month!). There's a great concert tonight I'm going to with my friends. I've got a job opportunity coming up this week (being a Doctor's scribe), and even a volunteering orientation (helping out at a free health clinic). A week ago I couldn't even imagine functioning without my ex. We lived together and did everything together... so it was extremely painful. It still is. I'd be lying if I told you I didn't miss him or think about him everyday. I still love him, but that doesn't mean I am going to sit around and mope about it. IT GETS BETTER. I promise. Do things you love to do.
