The Breakup

Actions carried out upon breakup: Delete photos, text, phone number, cut off any communication. Did they even ever exist? How do you handle it when the one you cared for is no longer in your life? Do you keep all the said above and wait for them to contact you again, giving you some kind of hope? How do you grieve? What actions do you take? Chalk it off to another one bites the dust and it's experience gained for the next relationship? How each of us handles a breakup is different. For me, I get everything that reminds me of them out of my life. I let it go. I cry, I evaluate the whole relationship and try to learn from it so I don't repeat past mistakes.....then I try to keep my heart open for the next that might come along. crying

I wrote poems. Beautiful poems. So I kept a wondeful memory.
I just sing another one bites the dust, I've even requested that for my funeral laugh

I binged on chocolates blues
Breakups are usually not easy. They require a grieving time for the love that died. It's good to leave things that remind us that love out of sight for a while; I don't think destroying them is the best thing. You might want to have those memories when you're old and that love was nothing than a good memory. I believe we tend to forget the bad things and remember the good ones as time goes by. At least, I'm like that. grin
I don't do any of the above, I am not into the deletion of a part of my life.

I just allow myself to grieve until I feel better, try not to repeat the mistakes I made, and then move on when I'm ready.
Molly, I agree.thumbs up
Isn't having memories of them around painful?
For me, it's all about letting go of the pain and moving on.
Annada, I agree....a love that died. It no longer exists, nor will it. I don't want to think back on it or remember it. I just want to let it go and move on.
Mimi, binge on chocolates. laugh How can you eat?
Swami, do you want to ponder on the memories?
Shine, do whatever feels right to yourself

We all have our own way of dealing with things
Mollybaby, You're so right. We do. We all handle things that we see the best way for us. We cope however we can. I found something you said interesting. A deletion of one's life. I never looked at it that way before.
Perfect advice, Molly!love
It all takes time and that is different from one person to the next.

I know when my children were small i tried and tried again all to no avail so walked with my kids and brought them up myself.
I would have like them to have a father but was not to be.

So reckon it depends on situation and how long together etc wishing you luck thoughhug
for most people i have broken up with i have gotten rid of everything, and will never talk to them again,But there are 2 people i know i will always make time for.
Love do not die. Desire dies instead.dunno confused
When on breakup remains the love ... but we do not see it because of the pain caused by our desire.cool
Shine,

It's not wrong how you deal with it.

I sever ties completely after a relationship break-up. I find it easier for each of us to move on with our lives in different directions.

Although, they may remain in my thoughts, I feel it's best to cut ties, otherwise an emotional bond(with contact), can prevent each of you from moving on and dealing with the grieving process effectively.

I have literally "bumped" into exes and it's been cool. We're both over it, still have a warm spot for each other and it's been a nice meet, but know, too, we have let go emotionally.
I keep my pictures just to visit the memories. Forget, move on and build a new one.
I also prefer making a clean break by deleting that person completely. Not that I would recommend that as sometimes after you got over the initial hurt you sometimes realize you could have been still friends. With everything erased you can't ever contact that person again. Sometimes that is good but sometimes not. You leave him with guilt or you live with your guilt for your share in the break up. No way of telling him you are over him or sorry for what you did.
1st, I stop communicating!
2nd, I delete!
3rd, I think about the bad things of that person!
4th, I think about how sad I had to be when I was in that relationship (try do not think about the happy things)!
5th, I convinced myself being breakup is better!
6th, I convinced myself believe that being single is better than being with a wrong one
7th, I spend a lot of time for works to keep myself busy!

The fact is that once got too much hurt in a relationship, it’s almost possible to fall in love again for me. But thinking about the sad things had happened, I can say being single is much more better!
Mimi, you think like me chick!laugh If you outta my life, you gone. laugh I do still think of some of the good times with my exes. Those are precious memories. I try to not dwell on the bad, just let it all go. I think for me to move on in a healthy way I have to get everything that reminds me of them outta the way. Now, in the case of my son's father, that is impossible. I look at a version of him everyday. I love that version.
Well hello Shine long time no see girl applause

If it were someone I cared for, perhaps some of what you mentioned....
but if it were with someone I loved deeply.. well the only thing I'd do is be hopeful he'd remain my friend sigh

Itchy! I was trying to catch up with you but you have my location blocked.
Dear heavens Pat, that is about the most calm, sensible thing I've ever seen you post. confused Here, you need to hit my shine. laugh
you sure about that Shine, its the Americans that have me blocked and not me them confused

Your looking good and its awfully good seeing you again...
just actually thought about you a few weeks ago conversing
Itchy, it says I have to live in western Europe. I checked all my settings and I should be good.
Shine the only people I have blocked from my settings are rich people...

So maybe there's more to your shine than you care to let on roll eyes wink
Itchy!!! rolling on the floor laughing I'll go back and recheck. laugh
Oh well, Itchy! IDK what the problem is.
Luckily I do not have any kid. And I have only one ex for the entire of my life until now. But even if there was a kid, and multiple ex, I guess I could do the same that do not think about their good things. I do not love what I do not have! :)
i don't delete anything. it's a reminder of what made me vulnerable. i also manage to be friends with some lovers, after a time. separation sometimes brings understanding. yes, the pictures are painful but you can't beat yourself up for the failure of a relationship
...never regret what you did, but what you never did when you had the chanse...

cool wine
exactly, viking.
No actions........and i loose weight. sad
Bloodyawful....IKR?!banana I think I'm one breakup from being as thin as I was in high school. laugh

Well, I've changed this thing bunches of times because I have to wonder if anybody even reads it. I tend to be an introvert and choose my company carefully. I like to have a good time whether it be hanging out at home with my son and playing on the c [read more]
