How to Break Up with Someone and Make It Suck a Little Less

Book excerpt: We can all agree on one thing: breakups f*cking suck. But we think that with a little help and a lot of info maybe they can suck just a little bit less. If you're getting over a breakup or think you might be getting over one soon, this eBook is for you. Its electronic pages won't double as crinkly and abrasive tissues the way pages from a real book would, but maybe its contents can offer you something even better. DatePerfect wants to make everything dating-related a little simpler, easier, and more fun. And that's good news for you if you're picking up the pieces of your broken heart, eating ice cream for dinner, and you can't stop listening to Cat Power (or whatever your personal breakup recovery plan looks like).So, what kind of stuff can you expect to find in this eBook? We'll start with everything pre-breakup, like knowing when, why, and how to breakup. We'll talk about what it looks like to end a long term relationship, break up with someone you love, and how to help yourself heal after. Then we walk you through all our best tips and suggestions for dealing with that tender, broken heart. This includes info like how to get over someone, how to move on, and how long it takes to get over a breakup. We'll end on a positive note by helping you decide when you're ready to start dating again, how to get back in the dating scene, and, for better or for worse, how to fall for someone all over again. Better to have loved and lost, right?Want to know even more?

No, forgiveness doesn't mean that you condone what they did to harm you. What it actually means is that you no longer have to be burdened by that hurt. Until you forgive them, they'll be occupying space in your mind period. Don't let them live in your head rent-free like that! They're taking up space that you could devote to something nourishing like your friendships or getting to know someone new.Let yourself have whatever feelings you do and try to let them move through you. It's normal to feel angry or depressed or hopeless at times. When the feelings come, see if you can feel them and move on. It's healthy and normal to have big feelings after a breakup.When you're ready, open yourself up to new relationships. It may take a bit of time or it may not. It can sometimes be a mistake to get into another relationship immediately following a breakup. But we won't judge! You shouldn't feel bad for looking for another partner right away nor should you feel pressured into entering another relationship before you're ready.
