Get Over It: Your Old Girl’s New Guy

Wednesday, July 18, 2012

Your ex-girlfriend is going to hook up with other guys and you need to get over it already.

Breakups are never that easy. Even when it’s mutual, everyone agrees it’s “for the best,” and the two of you become friends afterwards – all breakups involve some element of heartache, distress, and discomfort.

One thing that some guys struggle with is who will be with their ex next. Your former-girlfriend is someone who you have spent a lot of time thinking of as being “yours” and perhaps some period of time thinking that she would never be anyone else’s. So yes it can be a little freaky to face the facts that none of this is true anymore but there is nothing you can do about it.

The healthy next step after a relationship ends is for everyone to move on. Eventually that means finding someone else. You will do it. She will do it to. So stop acting like it’s a tragedy.

Even if she dumped you the thought of you with someone else isn’t so pleasant to her either. BUT the idea of continuing a relationship that wasn’t working for both people is WORSE than thinking of you now hooking up with someone new. It’s not a thought that makes anyone thrilled but it’s the next stage of recognizing this relationship is over.

You’re tough. Suck it up. It’s okay to miss her or parts of this relationship but you can’t expect her to join a nunnery and sign on for a life of celibacy just because the two of you aren’t together anymore.

So go on, Get Over It!
