Move forward after a breakup: Distance yourself
Maybe one day the two of you can be friends again, but now is not the time. Your heart is still freshly wounded and seeing or contacting him will only make things worse. Keeping your distance is vital for the healing process to not only begin but to become complete.
- If some of his belongings are still at your place, have a friend, relative or roommate stay home when he comes to pick them up so you don’t have to see him. If you need to retrieve items from his place, send a friend to do the deed.
- Resist the urge to call, text or email him to see how he’s doing or to find out if he thinks the two
of you made a huge mistake by breaking up. Keeping in contact with him now may leave you hoping he’s thinking about getting back together.
