You may or may not have seen it coming. Either way, he said, "It's over. I'm breaking up with you." And you're left wondering for days why it ended the way it did. And when you confront him about it, he shrugs his shoulders and tells you, "It's me, not you."
We've all been there some time or other. Here are the five stages of the post-breakup feels that can happen the moment after he calls it quits on the relationship.
1. The inception moment.
"Wait. This can't be real." If I deny the fact that this actually happened this probably isn't real. It must be a dream.

2. The existential crisis.
Uh. Okay. Now we're broken up; what are we? We can't go back to being just friends. We complicated that by having feelings for each other once upon a time. What are we? What am I? So many questions. Please please tell me this is only temporary. Learn a lesson from Johnny Depp.
3. All the feels come back.
"I don't even know what to say, right now," as tears begin to form in the corners of your eyes. Suddenly, you lose all control of your emotional faculties. You start to cry. Like. Real. Ugly. Cry. You yell. You scream. You beg. No. This wasn't the way it was supposed to end. We were gonna grow old together.
4. Almost-but-not-really acceptance.
You tell him, "That's fine. I totally understand." Was there any sincerity in that statement? Nope. Just. Accept. It. That's life.
5. Happy Galentine's Day, I guess?
You finally reached the point in your healing/getting-over process that you kind of enjoy your newly single status. You are relieved to be able to re-embrace the freedom of not being tied down, and you can finally do things you love once again without needing to feel like you have to impress anyone anymore. Soon enough, your ex becomes nothing but a memory.

In the end, he just wasn't worth it. You're better than that. Keep being you, girly, and never ever lose sight of who you are!
