2 Harmful Mistakes That Follows Breakups

Saturday, December 20th, 2008

When you have been told by your boyfriend/girlfriend that they don’t love you any longer the only option is to breakup, it can feel as if your world has been shattered. You may find it difficult to make sensible choices. You may not care about anything other than getting them back. You think that life is out to get you and you become quite susceptible to the outside world’s influences. If you want to avoid becoming a victim and work to win your ex back, steer clear of these two harmful mistakes.

(1) Isolation – Many people tend to retreat back into their homes to escape the feelings that they have. They may feel like no one understands their predicament or cares how they feel. When people who have been dumped feel this way, they often don’t worry about what happens to themselves either.

It is vital that social activity is kept up. When you go out with friends, you get through the tougher times quicker and easier. There are still a ton of people who care what happens to you so let them lighten your load just a bit. When you are extremely depressed, this can weigh on your physical health and become a bigger problem than the initial cause.

(2) Physical Inactivity – It’s important that you remain physical in your life. When you don’t, every aspect about you begins to look unhealthy. When your ex is no longer attracted to you, you may take it as a sign that you are unattractive and may stop taking care of yourself. You may spend weeks feeling sorry for yourself and it is not healthy for you.

When you are physically active, you tend to feel better emotionally and psychologically. All you have to do is get a little exercise to get your blood pumping. You’ll start to feel more energized and ready to face the world, despite the recent breakup.

It doesn’t matter which avenue you take so long as you avoid these two negative consequences that come with being dumped. It’s important to move past it if your plans are to win your ex back. Don’t let breakup lead you to a depression because you’ll have a hard time getting out of the hole you dug for yourself.

 

2 Big Mistakes Can Cost Your Chance with Your Ex

Saturday, December 20th, 2008

Breakups can be messy, very messy. You may be prone to make bad choices, choices you wouldn’t have dared made before the breakup. There are several mistakes people make but two most important mistakes that can kill any chance of your winning back your ex include drunken dialing and text message terrorism.

Drunk Dialing – If you haven’t experienced this yourself, chances are…you know someone who has done it. What is it? It’s those late night phone calls you think will do you good but don’t. Who do you call? The person who you just broken up with, in fact. You may plead your case but you probably do so in a manner that does nothing more for them other than them going, “Yep, okay, whatever” and hang up. Never call your ex when you have been drinking. In fact, the best thing to do during those hurtful times is to not touch alcohol at all.

Text Message Terrorism – Everybody has been guilty at one stage or another of burning up the phone lines with repeated calls to someone. Text message terrorism isn’t limited to just text messaging. It means calling your ex repeatedly by way of phone, email, or text messages. When you decide to go this route, your ex is bound to change his or her number and email, regardless of the cost.

What should you be doing? Close those lines of communication for about a month. Work through your pain and anger and absolutely do not engage in negative behaviors that could lead to these two mistakes. If you are forced to see each other through work or school, be civil and kind but absolutely no personal discussions of any sort.
