Dealing With Being Dumped

Tips to Help Cope

You've just been dumped.

What you once had with that special someone no longer exists. You must now continue your life alone and separate from that individual. How do you cope? How do you begin again? Below are steps that can help ease the healing process of getting over that special someone.

Accept That It's Broken

If you still believe that this is just a break in your relationship and that you two will be together again, take a minute to collect yourself and get some distance. Your partner told you, "I think we need some time apart." Something broke in this relationship and it's up to you to decide if it's worth fixing. Weigh with your head, not your heart, how much more you're willing to spend in terms of time and energy on this relationship. If it's not worth the effort, you should start focusing your attention on healing yourself.

I fell your pain but would you go with me
I had a special someone i actuly thought he was the one for me but
i figured out the truth and yes i still luv him but i do still
wan't to climb under the covers and never come out ant talk to
people about it but i got great friends and great brothers and
they are helping me through this hard time and people like that
are better than any guy no matter how special they are to you!!
If you truly luv that person than you should respect there wishes
don't do anything that could jepordize anything you could have in
the future!!
"You might be obsessing over your ex and may be tempted to IM him
or her or send that email, but resist. Find something that you are
interested in and throw yourself into it."

that on the other hadn is VERY good advice that I still need to
learn from
"What you once had with that special someone no longer exists. You
must now continue your life alone and separate from that
individual"

well that certainly wasn't optimistic.
