Break-Up Tips

Getting through a break-up can be extremely difficult and is generally never easy for either half, however there's a few little things you can implement and some to steer clear of to make things that bit simpler as you get through this tough time.

1.Don't Try To Be 'Just Friends':

This just makes things awkward and prolongs your getting over one another, the last person you should be talking to for support is them. The best way is usually cold turkey, no contact with one another until you're both in a place where you can be friends without emotions getting involved (if this does ever happen). The harsh reality is that sometimes one or both members of an ex-relationship just don't ever reach that stage and it's best to go separate ways for good.

2.Don't Be Bitter:

Try not to be too sour when talking about them or seek vengeance should you feel they have wronged you. There's nothing wrong with giving them a good ribbing once in a while to people you care about but going overboard will make you appear bitter and negative to others. Also a great way of coming across as a bit crazy is to go out of your way to cause them havoc, be the better person and walk away from the relationship with your head held high.

3.Remember To Mourn If You Need To:

Many people don't like to show weakness when it comes to a break-up, they want to appear to be the stronger one of the two and handling the situation better than the other. Just remember it's perfectly fine to have a good cry and get it all out, in fact it's advisable. Bottling things up to look like you're coping wont help and can in fact make things much worse as you're not expressing how you truly feel. It's like they say: 'A problem shared is a problem halved!'


4.Keep Yourself Busy:

Take your mind of the anguish by being pro-active with your life. Whether it be taking up a new hobby, furthering your career through study or simply hanging out with friends, the less down-time you have to wallow, the better. Time is the best healer and time flies when you're having fun. So have the best time you can and before you know it you will be way over the long-gone relationship and onto greener pastures. It may not seem like it right now but hang in there, it'll happen.
