morichu Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 Well, I don't know if I told my story here or not but I recently broke up with a long term girlfriend so I'm going through what everyone else here is going through. I'm done the whole no contact thing and all that too. Basically decided to move on with life. Here are some helpful ways to handle break ups. -Don't date right away. Especially if your last relationship was a good one. Instead start doing things you couldn't do when you were tied down. Start living life basically. Take a lot of road trips or start saving up for big ones. Go hang gliding or sky diving. Think positive. You've been set free to do whatever you want so take the time to enjoy it instead of looking for something to tie you down again. -Reconnect with old friends. I'm a busy college student and having a girlfriend made me lose touch with a lot of old friends. Luckily, they all understood and had no problem letting me back in their circle. More than likely you'll start to meet new people. -Treat the old relationship like it was a useful learning experience but do NOT entertain thoughts of going back. Unless you think you broke up for a ridiculously stupid reason it's time to adjust to life without them. There's a reason it ended and going back and forth is just gonna delay more inevitable heartbreak and keep you from moving forward.
