Ask E. Jean - Tormented? Driven Witless? Whipsawed by confusion?Advice Vixens Keep on keepin' on!
The knot is gone, you're having some withdrawl...but it's all good. Just keep yourself busy. Breaking up with someone who makes you feel bad tells you that you are already moving in the right direction. Listen to music that makes you feel happy and stay strong! reply to Lady Sauce send this answer to a friendBe glad you realized sooner than later that you are better off without him.. and are able to start 2009 with a clean slate!

Amen to this.
reply to Donna send this answer to a friendThe knots gone...great!
He treated you like crap right. That's his problem...his loss. You don't need to have any self doubt about that situation at all. Blondie's absolutely right, you're better off without him. reply to Brian send this answer to a friendIf the knot's gone, maybe you're ready for Miss E. Jean's makeover:
Nine Magic Moves for a Mojo Makeover 1. Dress chicly (the most powerful mood-changer known to Homo sapiens). 2. Be a cheerleader for the downtrodden (lifts your spirits). 3. Smile (relieves stress, releases endorphins, pretties you up). 4. Swell your chest out (you’ll look successful). 5. Get drunk (just checking if you’re paying attention). 6. Sleep nine hours a night (boosts your energy). 7. De-friend bores and dickwads (they drag you down). 8. Don’t try to be perfect (not fun, not neat, not cool). 9. Get angry (an intense desire to grind your wackadoodle boss to sand under your Jimmy Choo will fuel your rise to the mountaintop). Good luck! reply to Jenny send this answer to a friendThink of it this way: he made you feel like absolute crap, and you rightfully dumped the loser. Translation: you did something great for yourself!!
You have NO reason for self-doubt; you have a good sense of what's good and bad for you, which means you are one bright, strong person! Break-ups usually leave you feeling a little weird for awhile...just keep doing what's best for you, and the awkwardness will subside. You deserve better than some dimwad who won't treat you right! reply to Ashley send this answer to a friendJust remind yourself that you did the right thing. Soon you'll probably wonder how you put up with the jerk for so long and that you deserve much better!
Exercise also helps with the frustration. :) And good tunes. reply to Kent send this answer to a friendI know where you're coming from. I think we all do. All break ups are hard regardless of if the relationship was good or not. The best thing you can do is surround yourself with your girls and go to your fave hangouts for drinks and such. Look like a diva every time you step out of the house, treat yourself like a queen. Just remember how fabulous you are and remind yourself that anyone who can't see your fantabulousness isn't worth your time.
reply to Ms. Sassy send this answer to a friendAs lonely as you're feeling now, there is nothing lonlier than being with someone who doesn't appreciate you. I'm glad that you aren't stuck with this guy anymore, because how you feel now will change, but he never will. If he made you feel bad, then you made the right decision to leave. Don't doubt that. And if there are other things causing doubt, just remember that your whole routine has just changed--it's natural to feel like you don't know where the dishes go, so to speak. But you do. You've been with you a lot longer than you've been with him. You will make the right choices.
I would say good luck, but you don't need it. You WILL feel better soon. Now clean your apartment, make yourself pretty, and break out the good china! reply to Samantha send this answer to a friendGreat for getting rid of him. The TRULY important thing now is to identify what exactly it was that was about him that attracted you, made you feel bad, and was so abhorrent so that you'll never have to be in this situation again.
Getting over him? Just keep living your life, sweetheart. Once you realize all the little joys of life then his importance will diminish until he slips from your head entirely. This attraction seems to be short lived. You'll be right as rain in no time, darlin. reply to Michal send this answer to a friendExercise. Sweat him out of you. The best way to move on is to feel great about yourself, so when you do meet the right guy, you'll be looking and feeling your best.
Until then, get a massage, read a great book, go see a funny movie... anything to get out of your head for a little while. :0) reply to Suzanne send this answer to a friend |
