When It’s Over – Break Up Advice

Diane knew it was time to be moving on. A break up with her boyfriend Joe had just occurred. She knew there was little chance of getting back together, so she had to get on with her life. She just needed to know how!

First, Diane tried talking to her friends about the breakup. At first, they were sympathetic. But soon, they became bored with the issue and wanted to talk about their own issues. Diane became irritated at their lack of support.

Her mom, on the other hand, couldn’t talk about anything but Joe. She felt Diane was insane to let him get away. It sometimes felt like her mom had been more in love with Joe than Diane ever was.

After a few weeks, Diane decided to go to a therapist for several sessions. Over the course of a few weeks, she started to recognize the problems which had led to the breakup and plan out a strategy for moving on.

The first thing she did to help with moving on after the breakup was to throw away all of Joe’s things. Some, like the leather jacket he loved, she gave back. Other things like his toothbrush she just threw away. And, he had given her some nice jewelry, but she chose to box these up and store them until she became less emotional about him.

Next, she began doing things that she didn’t feel comfortable doing when Joe was around. For example, Joe would hardly ever go to the ballet with her. Diane had trained as a classical dancer and she treasured Swan Lake and Giselle. When a performance arrived to town, she got a couple of girlfriends together and they went. This isn’t something she would have done if she had been together with Joe.

She also decided to join an adult dance class. Partially, it got her out of the house two nights a week. It also got her back into shape. But, she was able to meet new people as well. She loved the camaraderie of the class.

She also explored new passions. She never knew much about fine wines. Joe had preferred beer and she had usually just ordered the house white. But when she heard a local winery was offering a wine tasting class, she decided to join.

Over the course of five weeks, she acquired a palate. She began to be conscious of the difference between a young wine and an old wine.

And, she met Rod. Rod was a good looking lawyer who was interested in good wine and fine food. And, he was also interested in Diane.

Part of how Diane realized that she was getting over the pain of losing Joe was that she was interested in Rod.

Diane doesn’t know whether the relationship with Rod is going to be long term or a short term rebound fling. But she does know that she doesn’t miss Joe when Rod is around. And that’s moving on break up advice!
