How have you gotten over break-ups?

No animosity or anger, just sadness for both of us. It's been a long time, and we've both tried to make it work for a long time, but it can't last any longer. It was just circumstances that did it. What can I do to get over it? I have to go to work tomorrow morning, so no drinking, sadly.

What have you done to get over break-ups?

I kind of want to start a new Thom Browne thread, but I don't have the heart to do it or anything else right now.

Just time, IMO. Try to keep yourself busy so you don't have to sit around thinking about it all the time. Don't feel weird if it doesn't happen right away though. If you really cared, there's no way you could just get over it with a snap of your finger. Good luck, BM.

I am tempted to say something mean, but we've all been hard on you lately so I will give you a pass.

Never really been a problem, since I always have another gf by the time I break up with someone.

If you think I let a few internet jokes affect my real life oversized ego, you've got another thing coming.

Yeah, I'm almost glad I have to go to work tomorrow. I don't know how else I'd fill up the time. I really did care. It was going to be the one, we were going to get married and everything. But it was also distinctly doomed from the start.

I do wish I had some food right now. But I do need to sleep. I'll pig out tomorrow, I think.

I have a hard time believing you ever had a girlfriend.

Time is all you can use to get over it.

If you want to get over it quickly and painlessly, stay busy, be very productive, and spend lots of time with friends. Minimize your time alone with your thoughts.

If you want to really dig into it and feel it hard, and think about it, then by all means dwell on it, write about it, think about it. Sometimes this is the best way to realize what your relationship was, where it fits in the grand scheme of things, and what you can learn going forward.

Either method works; neither is superior.

I am a very deeply introspective person, so I am not sure if I even can minimize my time alone with my thoughts. I will try, though.

Working out at a gym with cute females helps.

Make an effort to meet friends every day. (you probably got out of that habit when you got serious with your GF).

Find an activity where you meet new people. It gets you back in peak socializing mode again.

Definitely meet new people. Hell, i'm in a 3 year long relationship right now and i still want to find ways to meet new people, but I always talk myself out of it because life is so damn tiring.

Use your newly found freetime wisely!
