How do you deal with a break-up?

<p>Hey guys. I've been dating this girl for about five months. We both really liked each other alot, but she abruptly called me last week and broke things off. We hadn't seen each other in over a month and a half since she's gone out-of-state for the summer, but we talked on the phone almost everyday. Yesterday, I found out she has a new boyfriend. I called some of my friends and talked it out, so I'm alright now.</p>

<p>But just out of curiosity... how do you guys deal with a break-up? Do you wallow in the misery of your existence? Shrug it off and keep going? Log onto College Confidential? The third one has helped a bit. :)</p>

<p>I’m on team shrug-it-off.
Break ups don’t tend to bother me.</p>

3

<p>^ Yeah I agree. Wallowing in self-pity isn’t going to help anything.</p>

4

<p>I really did “wallow” yesterday for far too many an hour. I mean, I feel a little better today. But it’s still bad… It’s gonna take a long time to get used to.</p>

5

<p>I may be upset for a couple days but I get over it rather quickly and move on.</p>

6

<p>Get a new p***y.</p>

7

<p>I listen to all the music on my “I hate boys” playlist, allow myself to be upset for a couple of days, try to forget about it by diverting my attention toward other things, vent to friends, flirt with other guys… and then move the **** on.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Hmm… I belive an “I hate girls” playlist is in order. I shall consult my iTunes immediately. :)</p>

<p>I just kinda…get over it. Like, maybe go out and have some fun instead.</p>

10

<p>Egg her house</p>

<p>In all seriousness though, that really sucks. She clearly meant quite a bit to you. I think the best way to deal with a break up is to just hang out with friends for a while until you meet someone else who blows her out of the water</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>It’ll come in so useful in the near future. You’ll be thanking me. :D</p>

12

<p>Did you break-up or get dumped?</p>

<p>Because if you broke-up (which is mutual), there really shouldn’t be “wallowing”.</p>

13

<p>

</p>

<p>Haha yeah, I hung out with two of my good friends last night, we had a good time. So that was good. Idk… I’m not “over” her at all yet, but that’ll probably change in a few months.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I probably will. :)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Haha, in the most eloquent terms possible: I was dumped. I’ve had three girlfriends, and have never been the one to instigate the breakup. One time it was mutual, these last two haven’t really been mutual though… my charm is fading quickly. :(</p>

<p>Jk haha.</p>

<p>Question: you said she broke it off last week but has a new boyfriend. A week is a pretty quick time length to get bf/gf status. So I’m guessing she was probably seeing him while she was still with you.
Does that mean she may have been cheating on you?</p>

15

<p>^Haha. Why do you think I’m depressed? Yes, I’m pretty sure she was seeing him. Or, if not seeing him, they were at least talking and she liked him. She met him in another state, she’s been there most of the summer. That’s why this sucks so much… this has never happened to me. I don’t even know if she did anything with him while we were dating or if she waited until after we broke up… eh, don’t even want to think about that.</p>

16

<p>^If that’s the case, take her leaving as a blessing in disguise. </p>

<p>It says quite a bit about her character–especially if she was able to keep leading you on and lying to you daily. </p>

<p>You’re seriously better off without someone like that.</p>

17

<p>You’re right… thanks for that. That’s what my friend told me… but I just can’t see her doing anything with him while we were still dating. She probably didn’t do anything until after we broke up.</p>

<p>I don’t know. You’re probably right, though.</p>

<p>Shrug it off. Friends & flirting…that single feeling =]</p>

<p>* Wrong baby, wrong baby, wrong, it ain’t the end of the world
Don’t you worry, pretty girl
‘Cause now that he’s gone baby, gone baby, gone
You got nothin’ to lose, count the minutes if you want to</p>

<p>It won’t be long baby, long baby, long
'Til you find somebody new</p>

<p>Come on now, everyone falls down
Everyone crawls now and then, then they get up again
You cry if you want to, that’s what we all do
But if you think you’ll never move on, you’re wrong baby</p>

<p>Cry baby, cry baby, cry, go on and let it all out
I ain’t leavin’ you now
And we can fly baby, fly baby, fly, let’s share a bottle of wine
We can laugh about the good times</p>

<p>And you’ll know why baby, why baby, why
It’s gonna be alright</p>

<p>Come on now, everyone falls down
Everyone crawls now and then, then they get up again
You cry if you want to, that’s what we all do
But if you think you’ll never move on, you’re wrong baby, wrong</p>

<p>Oh, you ain’t gone, baby wrong, baby wrong
There’s nothin’ wrong with movin’ on
When you know he’s good and gone</p>

<p>Come on now, everyone falls down
Everyone crawls now and then, then they get up again
You cry if you want to, that’s what we all do</p>

<p>Come on now, everyone falls down
Everyone crawls now and then, then they get up again
You cry if you want to, that’s what we all do
But if you think you’ll never move on, you’re wrong baby, wrong
You’re wrong baby, wrong
Wrong baby, wrong baby, wrong *</p>
