5 things to do when your boyfriend breaks up with you
Everybody knows how to get over a relationship when you are single. But what about when you are in a relationship, and it ends?
When he dumped me I was devastated. I didn’t know what to do. I thought there was something wrong with me, that’s why he didn’t want to be with me anymore. It was hard to accept and cope with.
Before we go any further, let’s make a quick distinction. The relationship that I’m talking about is a relationship between two people who are dating, and they’re both in love with each other. The relationship doesn’t end because of any one person’s fault; it’s more like the relationship ran its course and came to an end.
1. Move on
Moving on is the first thing to do when your boyfriend breaks up with you, especially if you want to stay single for a while and not rush into another relationship right away. While it’s hard to do at first, having that freedom of being single will give you time to heal and find out who you are without your ex-boyfriend in your life.
2. Don’t stalk them online
This will only make things worse since they’ll know that they hurt you so bad and you can’t just let go and move on with your life. Not only that, but sometimes when people don’t want someone in their lives anymore, it’s because they’re involved with someone else or have already started a new relationship.
If you can’t stay away from stalking your ex online and it’s affecting your everyday life, then there are a few things that you can do to make sure that you stop doing it. Here are some ways to help prevent yourself from stalking your ex online:
- Delete his number – This is the best thing to do if you really want to let go of him since he’ll no longer have any way of contacting you.
- Unfollow all of his social media accounts – If he sees that you’re still following his every move on social media, then there’s a chance he might try contacting you again. Some relationship experts even suggest deleting all social media apps off your phone so when he stalks your profile, he won’t be able to see anything.
- Delete all pictures – Instead of deleting everything off social media, you can always delete the relationship pictures that you two had together and even block his profile so he’ll be blocked from seeing your photos on Instagram or Facebook.
3. Talk about it with friends or family
Now that you’re alone for the first time in a long time since things didn’t work out between you guys, it’s never too late to surround yourself with good company like family and friends. Talking about how your relationship ended will help clear your thoughts and make way for better feelings in the future instead of still being stuck in the past where there may not be a future relationship at all. It’ll also help ease any heartache and pain that you may be feeling.
4. Focus on yourself
The relationship between you and your ex-boyfriend may have been a good one, but it still didn’t work out, so now’s the time to focus on yourself by staying busy with all of the things you want to do instead of focusing on him, or how he hurt you in the relationship.
5. Take a break from dating for a while
There’s no rush when it comes to getting into another relationship after being broken up with, and there is nothing better than concentrating on yourself rather than worrying about finding someone new in your life after what just happened between you two. The next relationship will come when the time is right. Taking a break from relationships will help clear your mind and think about what you really want out of a relationship in the future.
Now that you know how to move on, handle your relationship breakup the right way so it won’t affect you long term. Use these tips if this relationship is just one of many that didn’t work out for you. Either way, take what happened as an opportunity to be yourself without being tied down into another relationship for now until you’re ready again!
Instead of getting back together with your ex, think about how the relationship ended and why it didn’t work out to understand if there was something that you did wrong in the relationship itself, which might not have been good for either one of you in the long run.
By taking what happened between you two seriously, then start over by giving yourself time to get over the breakup instead of stressing over things like “was I too nice?”, “I wonder what they’re doing now” etc. By doing this, you’ll not only clear your mind of relationship troubles but also start finding out more about who you really are as a person without the relationship that just ended.
