Dear Ms. Lipstiq,
It’s been about a month now since my boyfriend and I called it quits, but i can’t seem to get over him. I’ll cry every night, and when I see him, it hurts so much. We broke up on ‘mutual’ terms because in a few months, he will be going overseas to study so we didn’t want our relationship to get in the way of all that. We were only dating for a few months before all of this happened, but I can’t seem to accept it anymore. I don’t know if we’ll ever get back together, but in the mean time, it is so difficult to even think about it. Please tell me what I can do to get over this. I really can’t handle the pain anymore….
Lissie
Dear Lissie,
What you are going through is the first stage of a break up, and let it be known that this is very common amongest all girls going through a break up. There’s no real straight forward way of going through. Time really is what is needed here – it may not seem fine now, but when the time comes alone, you’ll start to realize and know what you feel, and want. Eventually that ‘pain’ you feel is going to go away and you will some what forget what happened. Though, in your situation, it was a mutual decision so it may take a longer to heal. But always keep in mind the reason for the breakup… Why it happened, and knowing it was for the better. Going through a breakup is never easy, but it is a good learning lesson. So, chin up!
Ms. Lipstiq
