From what I've been told, guys tend to handle break ups better than girls -- at first. They don't start thinking about missing their ex until right when their ex is getting over them. I wouldn't know from experience, since it will be a cold day in hell before I understand how guys think. However, what I do know is that the first 48 hours after a break up are the hardest for pretty much all girls.
A lot of stuff goes through your head, and most of it really, really sucks. It goes a little something like this:
- I just really messed up with this relationship.
- What am I going to do with all of my time now?
- I'm going to listen to every Taylor Swift break up song ever made. Twice.
- Or maybe about 30 times.
- Why are things all over my room that remind me of him?
- What is wrong with me? Why can't I have a good relationship?
- Is this 100% my fault?
- No, it's not, but this still sucks.
- Now I can't hang out with his fraternity.
- And we are in a group text together; what do I do about that?
- I really liked all of his friends; this sucks.
- And his family was pretty great. Like, do I delete his mom's phone number?
- Okay, I'm going to put all of his stuff in a box and mail it. I don't care how much shipping is, as long as I don't have to see his stupid face.
- Wait, but I kind of want to see his stupid face.
- Maybe if I just say sorry about one million times everything will go back to normal.
- No, I can't back track.
- I already told Mom; that's serious.
- I hate everything.
- I need ice cream. All the ice cream.
- I was going to make him the coolest cooler ever. K, his loss.
- On the plus side, I'm single for vacation.
- On the down side, I'm single for vacation.
- I wonder if he is already talking to someone new.
- Probably, and I bet she's prettier than me.
- Wait, no, who cares? I broke up with him.
- Ugh, this is all my own fault.
- Queue Miley Cyrus “Wrecking Ball."
- Oh, but now I have to listen to "F.U." too.
- Hell, yah, Miley Cyrus doesn't take crap from anyone, and I'm not going to either.
- Sooo much better without ya.
- Okay, I'm actually a psycho because all I want to do right now is know what he's up to.
- I'm going to watch a whole TV show on Netflix to get my mind off of this.
- *Sob when Elena and Stefan have cute scenes in Vampire Diaries.*
- Okay, I'm done with these emotions. Where is the emotional switch? These need to go away.
- Why did it have to be right now? Now is really not a good time for this. I have to deal with people right now and that's the last thing I want to do.
- I'm never dating anyone again.
- I need a cat.
- And a puppy. A golden retriever puppy that will love me unconditionally.
- I'm never getting out of bed.
