Make Your “Breakup Bible”
Remember how you told all of your friends about your breakup? Chances are, you got a slew of voice mails, texts, and e-mails offering support or telling you what they really thought of that jerk. It might be hard to hear, but it’s going to come in handy.
Type out or cut and paste any particularly insightful things your friends said to you into a document. This Word file is to become your Breakup Bible. Print it out and stuff one in your purse, paste one to your bathroom mirror, and place one on your nightstand. If you want to bust out the hole punch and stick one into a three-ring binder to make it more official, knock yourself out. Any time you feel like contacting your ex, read your Bible. No doubt you’ll read something from a friend that will prevent you from picking up your cell or crafting that perfectly worded text message that you hope will bring him back to you.
Did you just go through a horrible breakup? Is your heart in a million little pieces? Whether you got dumped or did the dumping, splitting up with someone sucks. But have no fear, The Frisky’s 30-Day Breakup Guide is here! Once you’ve a good cry over the loss of your relationship, spend the next month working on yourself. We’ll be posting detailed instructions for the next 30 days to help you get over he-who-shall-not-be-named. There’s even a handy-dandy calendar to help you keep track of your progress. Now get to work!

This is a really good idea. Wish I had thought of this before making the mistakes I did after my last breakup!

My BF and I broke up about a month ago, so we’ll see if I’ve been following the rules. We broke up to take time for ourselves, and it was sort of mutual. At 22 & 23 in a LDR trying to get our lives in order we were struggling. This is really a time in your life when you have to be a little selfish and think about yourself and what you want and need. We’ve spoken a little since but barely. Emotionally we still care about each other and we get along really well, it was just the situation. So the ultimate goal is getting back together- but only time will tell.

This is one of the hardest rules to follow. My ex and I broke up about four months ago and I’m still having trouble with this one.

Crap. I did this last night, seriously. Confused him, and did nothing for me. We have a long, strong friendship, too, and that’s what I miss most. Too soon now.

my ex texts and calls me sometimes, trying to hang out (just so we can hook up) and i definitely have trouble ignoring him sometimes. especially when im in the mood for some action
. our relationship was never platonic.
