It's a caveat to #5 and addendum to #6 ... often a man is under control because of sex and that stuff needs to be worked off to get back to an emotionally stable state. Safe sex and all that...

I was completely blind sided. He was beautiful, amazing, sweet, intelligent and everything I could imagine my partner to be. In the end, when he broke up with me it was because I wasn't wordly, didn't have a college degree and the age different (16 years) bothered him. He nicely put that I was beneath him and wanted something at his level. I wish this was something established a year ago. I still cry everyday. The rug has been pulled out from under me and I cannot breath. Unfortunately, I have become dependent on the alcohol. I have friends but no family to turn to. I'm ready to start feeling better. =( It’s been 5 weeks since my boyfriend for a year broke up with me. I was completely blind sided.

Even when the woman says, "NO, there is no one else," I have found that indeed there ALWAYS is. Knowing that makes breakups harder to take. breakups usually come when the other person has met someone else. that’s the way it goes.

Take a moment to see what was good in the relationship and be grateful for that. My ex and I broke up back in March and I did take some time to grieve the relationship. I still like my ex in some ways... but I know it's not meant to be. Instead of just blaming myself or her... instead of taking things personally and asking "why did this happen to us"... I took some time to really re-evaluate what was good... what I could learn from it, what I could remember and cherish for the rest of my life. By taking the time to do that, I really felt better. I wasn't bitter towards her for the break up... and I actually went to see her this past weekend in Vegas for the first time in 3 months since the break up. There is still some lingering attraction there between us.... but after talking to her, I realize that I'm OK NOT being with her. It helped me clear my mind to feel ready to move forward with a girl I'm currently seeing. I think we should add another point, David.

I'm a month fresh off of a breakup where I was completely blind-sided. I only have good memories and that's what makes it so sad and heart breaking. I've definitely grieved, put it down on paper and have thought about myself these last few weeks. One step each day and, I know, in time, I will be ok. Thanks, David.

Often after a break-up you feel like the world's against you and you find it easier to be by yourself than socialising. Doing some of your favourite things will get you socialising with people as well as feeding you mind positives to focus on. I agree that doing things you like doing is essential.
