First things first, me and you (the writer and the reader,) need to be on the same page in the Relationships For Dummies book. All relationships end in 1 of 2 ways. Option A, you split up. Option B, you get married.
We want Option B. We all do. You, me, and the girl in your sorority who swears she's never getting married. We long for it. But what if Option A falls into our lap?
This is how most relationships happen-- You meet. You develop feelings. You realize that your personalities clash. Arguing becomes a regular thing and as much as you do not want to keep a score of who hurt who, you still do, which then causes more frustration. The relationship had been crumbling for weeks, however no one wanted to take initiative to end it. Why? Embarrassment? Not having a formal date? The love you once shared used to take your breath away and now it feels like drowning. You want it to work so badly, they have a great family, a great reputation, and a great future ahead. But now what?
It will come to you. You are not even fully aware that it is happening. But it is. The “what are we even fighting for?” You agree to go your separate ways. And just because it was an easy split, does not mean it is easy to move on. Relationships can end for various reasons, but one thing is the same across the board. Heartbreak. Heartbreak is lonely and mentally exhausting. How do we cope?
AVOID: alcohol, prescription drugs, checking their social media, and calling them at 2:00 AM
What is the cure for heartbreak? Get out of bed, pull yourself together, exercise, and actually come to the realization that it is just not going to work between the two of you. You will have a thousand Option A's, and only one Option B. Do not get caught up in the wrong boy. If you know deep down, you know that feeling in your tummy, that it is just not going to work, leave. Cut it off now. Your future husband is waiting for you. So its finally time to let go. Lean on the girls who listened to you complain about him for weeks.
