Ok so the relationship is over so what do you do now you ask? Realize that if your relationship has ended it is for a reason. One of you (or both) don't want this anymore, for whatever reason it is over. There is nothing you can do to make it all better. It's over. Once you have faced this fact you can move on. Stop analyzing what went wrong. The "would have, could have, should have" has to stop right here and right now. AGAIN.. it is over.. lets focus on YOU!

Stop talking incessantly to anyone and everyone about your ex and the breakup. It can be draining to everyone around you which will cause people to alienate you and now is when you need your friends.

Tips & Warnings
Don't worry that your life is going to end, worry that it will never begin~ Anonymous
You can't find the future looking in the past.
Do not stay home, feeling sorry for yourself, overeating, waiting for the phone to ring, focusing on the broken up relationship. This can lead to depression and it will be even harder to move on and get better.

sorry to be the slacker here but how in the world does one get past the ending when one never saw it felt it coming. wise men don' build to destory. how long must it be excepted that you lose your partner break down heart broken beyond repear to say good has come from this how long must it take to get it right and not keep goinig back to our vomit. whats the point of getting close just and get to know someone just not to be able to know how it is your looking at. marriage is not a game.

abd5r so you want to trick yourself? i said the mindset. not actually doing it. and if you dont think that way your lying to yourself. we all have that thought after a break up supressing it is kind of insane.
