3 Ways Being Dumped Can Make You Better

The end of a relationship is never easy, especially when you are the one on the "dumpee" end of the stick. It's normal to fall down a slight shame spiral, wondering what you did wrong and why nobody loves you and probably never will. While it's okay to indulge in a 48 hour Netflix, Pinkberry and self pity binge, when you come out the other side you might find that are actually much better off. Sometimes being dumped can actually make you better, so next time you see your ex, tell him thank-you. It will really freak him out. Read more

The change in attitude completely alters the outlook of any relationship. It’s easy in the summer and everything fits together just right. But, how do you know if it’s just a summer fling or if this is something that could be the real thing? Here are three points that may help. Read more

What to do when your ex moves on way too quickly

Break ups suck. There’s no other way around it. It doesn’t matter if you’re the dumper or the dumpee, there’s absolutely nothing pleasant about going through a break up. There are tears shed over losing an important relationship, the crappy things you said to each other and, probably the worst reason of all, the dread of having to start the process all over again with someone new. I absolutely hate that “begin again” feeling that creeps in as soon as a relationship is over. I’m very guilty of letting way too much time pass between relationships because it takes me a long time to recover for one relationship and prep myself to be a good girlfriend in the next. That’s not the case for everyone and certainly hasn’t been the case for many of my exes.
