The best tip I can give you is accepted that's the first and most important thing and anything in your life that happens to you you have to accept it once you accept it acknowledge it and things get better

The pain will only last as long as you wanted to

And in one month 5 months 9 months however long it takes you you will realize it was one of the best things in the world you could have done just break up with this person.

The reason for everything in this world and it just wasn't meant to be that's the reason why you're not together anymore.

That sounds cold and harsh but it's reality and I mean it is the truth you will see but once you accept it get yourself busy go out with your friends sit back on the couch eat a bunch of ice cream do whatever you got to do but accept it and move on. I can hear you say it's just not that easy Steve LOL.

You're right it's not but you have to make it that easy accept it things get better when you want them to you will see the other thing is smile you have to smile and now become the best you can become let him run into you one day and you just look mighty fine just keep on walking but that's because you want to look good not because you're trying to make him jealous or anything okay.. anyway except it don't worry there's a guy right around the corner from you.

I've experienced an excruciating break up once. I've reflected on it a lot and to this day I still don't know any tips that can help. In my case I endured the pain and I eventually got through it. I never stopped loving her, but I eventually found the strength to move on.

1. Let the feelings run it’s course,
2. Cried it out

3. Don’t dwell and become a couch potato, or to get rotten bed syndrome from it.
4. Do fun activities that make you happy! I would do the most daring fun activities in my bucket list.
5. Don’t think a rebound boyfriend/girlfriend is going to fix your situation. A fuckbody is still an option/dildo.
6. Stay busy!
7. by the way, try not to make any super important or longterm decision r-now. You’re probably not thinking straight enough. Also don’t make any stupid decisions that might effect you long term and regret later.
8. Last question to ask yourself, « does it worth it holding so much pain, in your heart, that is effecting you mentally, and your well-being? »
In 6 months, 1 years, 5 years will it effect you that same way?

That’s my opinion, don’t take it personal, make your own judgment.

I was the dumper with the breakup. I still tried to be friends but I imagine it was painful for him in many ways with resentment as well and he tried to get back with me and then with ups and downs during this for over a Year, learning now to try to be civil. NC if that bad.

Go out with new people. It will still feel like shit, but it will help accelerate the healing. Why? It forces your mind to understand (at least more quickly) to understand there are other greener pastures.

Move on. Accept the break. Is gonna hurt a lot before you heal. Focus on yourself, your family and friends. Have fun. Find a new hobby. Take care of yourself. Force yourself to get up in the morning and have a healthy routine. You'll be fine.

Don't meet anyone new and just remain looking for friendship as you feel comfortable to date again. Also, an ex is an ex, so I wouldn't advise going back with an ex.
