Broke up with girlfriend of 5 months, how to handle it?
46 replies, posted
Just kinda upset, didn't really want it to happen but I broke up with her because we werent getting along so well towards the end. It was for the better and both of us knew that, but i'm still really upset.
Talking to someone every day for 5 months and then completely cutting it off, and never probably going to see her again.
I just was wondering if anyone has been through something similar and how to get over it a little bit. I know it takes time and it just happened to day, I was just wondering if anyone had some tips. Thanks..
fuck, wheres maverick when you need him.
Stop thinking about it. Thinking about it is only going to make you feel worse. Go out with friends and just find ways to get your mind off her. Also, no contact with her helps a lot.
In up to 3 months, you will be okay. Studies show that even the most traumatic of life events will be washed away after about 3 months.
FAP, somebody was going to say it.
Personally I usually feel like shit for a while then I have this weird epiphany and I stop giving a fuck about her and just move on. I also listen to plenty of brutal death metal to help out.
man up and move on
it happens
Aren't you that guy who cried to FP about not getting a blowjob?
Or am I getting the wrong person

I'm not surprised she got rid of you.
make yourself busy with loads of stuff and you won't think about it, turn off your phone and go out and do shit
dude fuck it, if it wasn't going well, it wasn't meant to be it. And also, talking with someone everyday isn't such a good thing. But yeah just take a rest for a while, eventually someone better will come
You can't feel your way out of bad emotions. You have to get up and do shit, hang out with people, play sports, go running.
It's alright, just avoid thinking about her, take it easy for awhile then get back in the mix.
You'll find someone better I guarantee it.
You don't need to worry, the depression comes naturally. Five months aren't that serious either.
My last relationship lasted four and a half months, depression over losing someone you really like sucks, yet you shouldn't let that fuck you over, bro.
Life is longer than five months, believe me.
You will recover fully after a while.
beat some kid up.
Only 5 months?
Drink for little.
Move on when you're ready.
Get drunk...party with friends.

I got rid of her, smart ass.
Also hanging out and playin some lax with friends helped a bit
Betting $5 that the lack of blowjobs caused the growing tumour of argument after argument
Just stop thinking about her, sounds tough but its not.
soon enough you'll realize how pointless those five months really were.
Don't concentrate on the good things, because it's gone you'll be looking at it with rose-tinted glasses
try concentrating on all the bad things and enjoy the freedom
Holy shit 5 months must have been serious. How old are you?
Here's how you handle it
There are about 3 billion other women on the planet
They all go crazy at one point in their lives anyway
Enjoy being single while you can you lucky motherfucker
It was 5 months, not a year. Calm down and realize it wasn't working out and move on.
Swallow your tears till your eyes run dry.

I broke up with my ex in may, would have been a full year if I had waited a little longer, trust me it will be hard the first couple of weeks.
My first GF and I were 3 days short of 2 years.
Then her mother scared her with some bullshit "you're drifting from the church by dating him" and she dumped me 12 hours later. it was hard, 'specially cause its not like those feelings just... went away.
I giggled in bittersweet victory when she went from dating me, happy christian and the closest thing to a mormon that her mother had ever seen without ACTUALLY being mormon, to my friend who is a pronounced atheist. Take that, asshole mom, how you liking her new BF?
Anywho. Many months went by (around... 9 to 11, I can't quite remember anymore) and I was starting to go insane. Not being in school or in any social areas, she seemed like the only girl in the world. Then I went on a trip with some friends and met this girl there, and within a week we were on our first date. Fear and uncertainty on her part made the startoff a bit hard, but now we're going on... 3 months. Feels like 6 though, but things are going good.
We all got someone in this world, OP, we just gotta find em. If this one didn't work out, its cause she wasn't the one for you. It might be hard, but you gotta get out and look around. Socialize, use the experience you gained in this relationship to level up your swagger, and if you feel something between you and that cute girl there, go for it. Best case, things develop into a healthy relationship, worst case, more experience, level up Swagger, and try again.
Oh....learn how to be happy single. If you aren't happy single, chances are you won't be happy in a relationship.
How to handle it? Be upset and angry or sad or whatever for a week and then get back on track. 5 months really isn't all that long.
Like firestorm said, in like 2 or 3 months it won't (shouldn't) even bother you. Unless you obsess over it or something.
