How Thabiso Coped With A Breakup

Share Your Story: How I Got Over A Break Up

From thabiso

What kind of relationship were you in?

I loved the guy.

How long were were you together before the break up?

One year.

Describe the break up.

I found out he was married and had proof, so I walked out of the relationship.

How did you cope after the break up?

I have not been feeling very well... I guess its because its still a new thing. I can't stop crying, and I'm afraid to tell my friends because they might laugh at me behind my back.

The thing its he has not even bothered to call and explain himself! I hate him but another part of me feels maybe there is an explanation to that. But how would i know if he does not even talk to me? Still, I have my pride and won't call to ask.

Lessons learned

  • Learn as much possible about your partner; you might never know what disappointments he has in store for you otherwise.<,/li>
  • Improve your look, and in turn it'll improve how you feel about yourself!
  • Read as much as you can about breaking up and how to cope; I found a lot of breakup books that helped tremendously.

Thabiso is obviously still struggling with the breakup, but is well on the way to finding comfort and moving on. I'd suggest talking to friends still, and if there is a fear they might laugh at you behind your back, then they aren't really friends after all, are they? Surround yourself with the people who care about you, and make sure to stay busy to cope and eventually thrive from your ordeal.
