How to survive a break-up (female edition)

Most of them are pretty cliche but from personal experience they work:

Rule # 1 - DON'T act desperate: yes that means no calls or trying to meet up with them or contact their friends so they can persuade him to go back to you. And of course no stalking.

We understand. He won't. What you think of as love he will find creepy. Apparently men find clingyness unattractive. Well I shouldn't say all men. Anyways you might think he will find pity on you and take you back. But that's just it. Even if he does take you back (highly unlikely) it will out of pity. You deserve better. Period.

Rule # 2 - DO NOT blame yourself. Even if it was your fault. It could probably just have not meant to be. In the end either you or him were too weak. IF it is meant to be, he will come back.

So no asking yourself or your friends what you did wrong...No point in all of that now. And...okay if it REALLY was your fault just laugh at your mistakes and learn from them. Don't regret. If you never did them you wouldn't have realized they were mistakes.

Rule # 3 - don't be the person who gets upset when they are dumped and not the one who does the dumping. There is term for this disease: pride. A lot of people don't like the fact that they are the one being dumped. Especially if they wanted to opt in the relationship from before or if they KNOW they can do better. In the end it doesn't really matter who did the dumping. A relationship is broken. Possibly for the best. Yeah, maybe he's off bragging to his friends that he dumped you but what kind of a person is he then? Would you want to be with such a person? Shouldn't you be happy you escaped from such a person?

Rule # 4 - [a.k.a. the big one] move on.

Stop crying in the shower or when you walk down the street where he used to pick you up. I repeat: no point. All you will gain is....well nothing. Either he will feel bad for you or laugh at you. Do you really want to become a laughing stock? A joke?

Self-respect. It is something a lot of women lose when they fall for a guy. Stay strong. Everyone will tell you all these rules stated here and even as you are reading this you will say "Easy to say" but there is someone who has lived through these steps. Someone who was betrayed and heartbroken but stayed strong and today is a happy person. Well thats enough rambling for one night. I hope I could help some people. And sorry guys as soon as I figure you guys out there will be one for you to. ;)
