Breakups are never easy, even if you are the one who's doing the dumping. Whether you were together for two months or two years, breakups usually have many stages before you feel closure or satisfaction with the situation. Through any breakup, we are all Blair Waldorf.
1. The actual breakup
Whether you are the dumpee or dumper, the relationship took your time, memories, and a piece of your heart. It's never easy to walk away.
2. The angry stage
The stage where all you want to do is punch a wall or maybe even your ex.
3. The bed stage
It is totally normal to spend 24-48 hours after a breakup in bed, just eating chocolate, watching romcoms, and listening to Taylor Swift's "You Belong With Me."
4. The retail therapy stage
Like Blair Waldorf once said, "Whoever said money doesn't buy you happiness didn't know where to shop."
5. The best friends only stage
When your best friends drag you out of bed and make you put on your new outfit for a night out. And you and your best friends have yourselves one memorable night.
6. The social media stalking stage
When you look at your ex's Snapchat story from last night and they posted a picture with someone new, who looks way too similar to you.
7. The obsessive stage
You begin to obsess over your ex, the breakup, and all the what ifs.
8. The dating again stage
Getting back in the dating scene can be uncomfortable, awkward, and sort of boring.
9. The relapse stage
After many failed dates, you run back to what you know..... your ex.
10. The realization
When you finally realize that your ex is not your Prince Charming and you deserve better. You have accepted the breakup.
11. The Queen Independent stage
Your reclaimed independence is a beautiful thing, all your energy is focused solely on you and bettering yourself. Make yourself a Queen.
12. The successful revenge stage
Showing your ex that your successful, independent, and better of without them is the best revenge there is.
