How to Get Over a Guy who Broke Your Heart

Everyone gets their hearts broken at some point in life. There’s just no avoiding it. Even those who tend to lead charmed lives have experienced heartbreak in a relationship. That’s why it is important to know how to get over a guy who has broken your heart. It’s something that you need to do in order to move on with your life.

First of all, once you realize that there is no hope whatsoever in reviving this relationship, accept that it is dead. Treat it just like you would any other death that was important to you. It is important to grieve and get that out of your system. No one expects you to just go on like nothing happened. To you, this IS like a death. You will most likely feel empty and sad. Handle this in the best way for you, personally. Cry, scream, throw things, curse, or whatever outlet works to make you feel just a tiny bit better.

Once you are past that first part of grieving, it’s time to rid yourself of all reminders of the relationship. This is a very important part of how to get over a guy who broke your heart. Anything that was given to you by your ex must be gone through so that you can decide what to keep and what to throw out. There may be a few things that you can bear to keep but if you feel even a twinge of sadness when viewing an item, get rid of it.

Just the act of doing this should make you feel a little better. At this stage you may still be crying off and on, and that’s fine. However, don’t let this continue to drag on for very long. Now is the time to let your friends and others who care about you offer their comfort and support. You don’t want to become a total recluse, and you have had your time alone to brood and grieve.

Once you allow your friends to start helping you, it’s time to start getting out again. This doesn’t mean that you have to be dating anyone. It only means that you need to start trying to have some fun again. Go slow at first if you need to. You can take in dinner and a movie with just a friend or two. Work your way up to going out to club for dancing.

Eventually, you will start to feel better. Before you know it, you will find that you don’t even think about that guy who broke your heart. It won’t happen all at once, but gradually you will go an hour without thinking of him. That will work up to two hours, to finally a FULL DAY! At that point, you will know that you just might be ready to start considering dating again. However, don’t be in too big of a hurry to get back into another relationship.

You’ll know when it is time to take the plunge again. Taking up with another guy too soon after your breakup will only guarantee failure. There really IS such a thing as a rebound relationship and they almost always fail. Don’t let your needs dictate when you will form another relationship. Give yourself time to fully heal from the breakup and you will be much more prepared to see other guys for what they really are. If you are still comparing every guy you go out with to your ex, then you’re not ready for a new relationship. When you can judge each new guy on his own merits, you have reached the end of your healing.
