Getting Over The Trauma Of Being Ditched By Your Girlfriend
June 20, 2008
It happens to everyone! There is no man who has not at one time or the other been dumped by his girlfriend. All love relationships experience their ups and their downs; some break up, while others begin anew. Lost love or the loss of a life partner hurts something bad, but painful though break ups are, one cannot allow oneself to wallow in misery over being rejected.
Guys coming to terms with the end of a love relationship, frequently look like they are recovering from a major operation or a car accident. Losing someone you love explodes into lacerating pain, you feel tormented, hoping that somehow you could persuade your ex-girlfriend to come back to you. No doubt, a break-up with your girlfriend has left a gap in your life, lost love has left you feeling that you will never find love elsewhere. This is all nonsense, of course, grief that has skewed your thinking.
What you need to accept the fact that your life partner has left you and will not be coming back. You have to get over the pain and learn to look at being single again as a fresh opportunity for some light fun. Just remember that time is a big healer and it may not look like it right now, but you will ultimately get over the trauma of your girlfriend or life partner walking out on you.
Get over a break-up by leaning on your friends. Talk to them, get your pain out, listen to their advice and if it sounds like good advice, act on it. The more talking you do on the subject, the sooner will you tire of it, the sooner you will recover from the hurt. Treat yourself well as you come out of the terrible shock of breaking-up. Take long, hot, scented baths, play music that helps let your feelings out, tempt yourself with favourite foods, don’t withdraw into your shell, let people get close to you, let them care for you.
Indulge in some therapeutic tasks like making a list of all the things you disliked about your ex-girlfriend or life partner. You’ll be amazed how long the list grows. Put your broken love relationship down to another of life’s experiences. Don’t blame yourself for the break-up; appreciate yourself by making a list of the things you like about yourself. Re-organise your life, your home, your itinerary and forget about having sex with your ex-girlfriend even if the opportunity arises. Getting intimate after breaking up will only add to your sorrow and confusion.
So, now you are past the stage of denial, anger, negotiation, depression. You have just met someone who you would like to get to know better, you are over the solitude stage and back to life. Congratulations, you made it this far, it was a long road but now you are now you’re your ex-girlfriend. You are liberated emotionally, no longer crying about lost love or break-ups! You are back on the scene!
