Did Your Girlfriend Break Up With You And Leave You Confused And Hurt?

Tagged Under : , , , ,

Did your girlfriend break up with you? You are not the first guy to go through this and you will not be the last. The fact is, girls initiate three quarters of the break ups whilst guys

only dump the girl in one quarter of these situations. Therefore, guys have to deal with being dumped far more often than girls do, but these statistics don’t make it any easier on the men.

One thing which makes the problem worse is that men are supposed to deal with these break ups without showing their true emaotions. meanwhile women are allowed to dissect every part of

their relationship, while the men are expected to roll with the punches.

But this doesn’t mean that men don’t have emotions, on the contrary hey hurt when women dump them. A girlfriend break up is quite painful, if you’re going through a breakup right now – you

will know exactly what I mean.

First of all, men tend to place more value on stable relationships than women do. While a man might be interested in a fling with a woman who is not his girlfriend, what he really wants is

someone who will be there in good times and bad. This is why men take a breakup so hard.

But, once your girlfriend has dumped you, and you’ve decided that it really is over it’s important to figure out how to pick up the pieces and go on with your life.

First of all, you need to be able to express yourself. Girls can do this by writing poetry or talking about the relationship endlessly with their friends. Men often don’t feel

comfortable with these options, although I have known guys who have done both of these things in the past, so don’t rule them out. But, if you play the guitar, piano or any other musical instrument, try writing some music that allows you to express your feelings. Many of the greatest songs ever recorded are about the pain of breaking up.

Next, you need to clear out your place of all of the things that remind you of her, this may sound drastic and final but it shortens the period of pain by quite a lot. If she has clothes at your house, give them back along with any CD’s DVD’s etc. And, if she’s given you any gifts that you want to keep, box them up for the time being until you can look at them without returning to an emotional state.

You will need to stop any and all communications with her, at least for the short term. If either of you owes the other money, try to settle up so that it won’t be a reason for bad blood or your name being dragged through the mud amongst your friends.

Then tell your ex that you need some space for a while, this means no calls, texts, or emails. Stay off each other’s myspace and facebook pages. In time (the amount of time varies from person to person), you may be able to be friends again, but right now you both need to give each other the space to heal.

Then, you need to get out of the house. Make a point of going out with your friends, meeting new people, going to the movies etc: the more active your brain is, the quicker the healing process will be.

Then, start to get back into the dating scene once again (again, the time scale for this varies from person to person). At first, you can have casual dates that may not lead to anything.  But, over time, you will meet someone you really care about. And, at that point, you will know that you have some closure about the old relationship. You won’t be worried about the old girlfriend break up any more.

One last point here – don’t hold on to any baggage when you go in to your next relationship or you may find yourself comparing your new lover to your old one, which is not a good start.
