Breakups are tough, but sometimes having something end
before it even started can be just as difficult. As women, we are all guilty of
creating ideal case scenarios with our non-boyfriends during the duration of
our time with them, and when we realize that those scenarios most likely will
not be playing out… and with that, a lot of emotions run wild. If your relationship was
not conventional, why should the healing process be? Here are five unconventional
ways to get over an unconventional relationship.
1. Watch a Lifetime movie
I’m not talking about one of the happy ending rom-coms that they sometimes feature around the holidays… Find a movie with a guy so psychotic that you’ll be grateful he didn’t want to DTR.
2. Go on Tinder
3. Clean your room
Grab your vacuum and cleaning supplies, blast your favorite music, and get to work! This tip will not only help you clear your space but will also help you clear your mind. Cleaning your room, or any area, will give you a sense of accomplishment and being in control. A clean space also gives you the opportunity to have your girlfriends over for a girls night to help distract you and remind you who is actually important in your life.
4. Take a selfie
Although it may seem silly to stand in front of a camera and snap pictures of yourself, you'd be surprised at what a selfie can do for your self-confidence. Just because one guy didn't see how great you were doesn't mean you should value yourself any less. So next time you're feeling yourself, take a selfie or 500! You don't even have to post it!
5. Do something that he hated.
Although this one is pretty self-explanatory, if you choose any of these tips, please choose this one. Do something he hated that you didn't. Whether it's something small like reading out loud when you are typing or something drastic like dying your hair a cool color, do something to show yourself that you do not need his approval.
