Any tips after a break up?

So me and the Mrs broke up today. Not feeling the best as you can imagine.

Does anyone have any advice on how to ease things and help a sorry soul feel better? I'd rather not go play on the bike if I'm not able to concentrate on the task

 

Hello bud, I'm so sorry to hear that. It's a crappy time. All I can say, having been there, is it does get better. Things become easier but it does take time. Whilst you're going through it, don't put yourself under any pressure. Keep busy, but make time for yourself too. Whatever emotions come to you - let them out and speak to people who you trust.

Good luck friend. This place is also a great source of support and ears.

Sorry to hear that, if it's definitely final, then look to the future, don't dwell on the past.
Try and remember the good times, not the arguments, but look forward to something better in the future.
It will get easier.

Get to the pub with your mates who will tell you that;

more fish in the sea
another one will be along soon
she wasn't the one for you

or

get the beers in while you blubber away

 

Yep, surround yourself with mates who u trust and just try and have fun. It's difficult and time is the only answer.

Do not be that dick that plays games with Facebook etc, radio silence and get your head down is the only way forward.

Best of luck mate

 

Above comment is spot on - don't live your break up on social media as its a not a good idea at all.

Mates & a few ales is the way ahead

 

except this thread of course!

 

Oh... And get yourself knee-deep as soon as u can ;-)

 

Yep know ya pain...go for a walk in the woods. (Walk)...listen to the birds. Drink copious amounts of neat spirits.

 

Little black book. Call an ex-girlfriend up - rebound-tastic!! [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES]

Or to be on the safe side, turn off phone/PC etc lock the front door and get so tanked you are incapable of doing anything you may regret...

Depends if it is really over or not as to how to best handle it - but remind yourself in any dark times that you'll feel better, maybe not tomorrow or next week, but you will feel better.

 

Advice would depend on the underlying cause for the breakup.

Mutual issues that have come to a head, but underneath you both know that you still love each other.:
Go (tearfully & openly) to her parents & tell them how "it will never be the same without being part of their family" etc.. Seek out their advice & comfort.

Her fault, irretrievable & an acrimonious split.:
Seek out her younger sister for comfort.

 

Don't go to the parents, that is so pathetic! Chin up and move on with the help of friends. Never dwell on the past as that is exactly where it is, in the past. If there's no chance of reconciliation then look onwards and upwards x

 

You need to feel better about yourself and to maintain your confidence.

Go to the gym, or go for a run. You will feel so much better. Running is fantastic therapy. Especially if it's off road.

Not the OP's own parents, HER parents.
It is not so much a pathetic approach, actually an immensely powerful tactic for assisting reconciliation ( obviously assuming that is the desired end result).

 

TINDER!!!

 

Look after yourself physically and emotionally and get in to good habits:

Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner preferably with people around you. Don't skip meals ever.

Get a good nights sleep every night.

Regular exercise 3 - 4 times per week.

Enjoy a moderate amount of booze on weekends only.

You're a normal bloke so play the field and enjoy occasional no-ties sex.

Good luck mate.

 

Time, nice walks, and don't rush.

 

Go and get yourself some balls deep action!
