Eating a tub of ice-cream to yourself, crying continuously for 3 hours or getting falling-down drunk are all acceptable post break-up activities. These 10 items, however, are not. Read, heed and if you ignore our advice, just remember “we told you so”.
If there was only one thing we could tell you about what not to do after a break-up this would be it. Staying friends with your ex post break-up is a terrible idea. If it’s because you feel guilty, then all you’re doing is leading them on. And if it’s because you think you have a chance of getting back together then you’re just setting yourself up for more hurt.
Potentially, you might salvage a friendship from the wreckage some time down the line, but when you’re emotionally raw you need time apart from the source of your hurt. If you burnt your hand on a fire, you wouldn’t return to the fire to try and soothe your burn would you?
