8 Ways To get Over a Breakup With Your Boyfriend

If you’re fresh onto the “we broke up” scene, you should know that I’m a pro. I mean, I own the “we just broke up” scene. So, if you’re thinking that you won’t be able to live without that person, you should know that life goes on. It’s not easy to understand how to get over a breakup with your boyfriend when your mind is swirling in the memories of your relationship.

Will it hurt for the first little while? Of course… it’s going to feel like you were hit by a bus.

You probably don’t look too happy reading that right now, but I’m telling you the truth. It’s going to hurt. And that’s okay.

# Accept it

Listen, I’m not saying you two won’t get back together, but at this moment, you’re not. So, if you want to know how to get over a breakup with your boyfriend, start by accepting that you’ve broken up. I know you still love that person, I get it.

But thinking that you’re going to get back together will not help you process this breakup. What if you actually don’t get back together? You know how much time you would spend reserving yourself for them? Waiting for them? Don’t wait.

# Acknowledge it’s going to take time

It’s going to take time. My last breakup took me a year to get over. I wasn’t crying the whole year, but they were always on my mind. But eventually, you slowly stop thinking about them. You don’t even notice until you run into someone and they ask you about your ex. As you move on, they’re not sitting in your head anymore.

# Cry

This is great therapy. I don’t care if someone told you crying is for pussies. They obviously have some issues. Crying is a great form of release. If you feel like crying, just do it. Do it until you can’t cry anymore.

You’re grieving the loss of your partner, so it’s normal to be upset and emotional. So grab the ice cream, get into bed, watch whatever sappy chick flick movie you want, and do that until you don’t want to do it anymore.

# Be selfish

Listen, if you want to sit at home crying, do it. If you want to talk about your ex, do it. Have you ever had a friend that broke up with their partner? It’s a nightmare – it’s all they talk about. And if you think you’re going to be different, you’re not. You’re going to analyze the shit out of it, trust me. So, just accept that it’s going to be all about you for a couple months.

# Do not keep your feelings inside

I cannot emphasize this enough. Do not keep your emotions locked up inside you. You’ll eventually have a mental and emotional breakdown. You’re going to snap, and it’ll probably be during an event or situation where it’s not appropriate. So, however you wish you release your emotions, just do it.

# Do not contact him

Please. Don’t do this for me, do it for you. Don’t write him. Don’t call him. Don’t e-mail. Don’t like anything on their Instagram. Don’t. Do. It. You need to move on, and if you continue to contact him, you’re going to look nuts, and you also may even walk away with a restraining order. You need to move on without him in your life.

# No social media

You can have social media, however, you shouldn’t have him on your social media. It’s going to be one of the hardest things you can do, but you need to delete him off of social media. Facebook, Instagram – whatever, just delete him. Block him if you find yourself creeping constantly.

# Use your friends

Well, what’s the point of having friends if they can’t be with you during a breakup? This is their time to step up and be a friend. You’re in pain, you’re hurting – they need to support you and help you through this.

So, if you’re lonely one night, or want to talk about your ex, you should call them. Now, unless it’s been two years, and you still can’t stop talking about your ex, they cannot complain.
