		<description><![CDATA[These 4 "psycho ex" behaviors are tempting right before or after breaking up with their boyfriend but almost all women feel stupid or regret acting on them later...]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>
<h2><strong>Mistake #1: Trying To Get Him Back After Breaking Up</strong></h2>
<div>
<p>The time right after breaking up is the hardest&#8230;</p>
<p>The edginess that comes with the silence&#8230;</p>
<p>The tension of when and what the next communication is going to be&#8230;</p>
<p>This is when its the MOST unbearable&#8230;</p>
<p>AND this also when you&#8217;re the most likely to do or say something to try to get back together&#8230; You&#8217;ll find that these &#8220;flair ups&#8221; of powerful edginess will hit you after you&#8217;ve been thinking about him, and it will seem like the only way to deal with that tension is to see him or talk with him about it.</p>
<p>BUT this is also the time when you should do WHATEVER it takes to keep yourself from acting on the urge to call or contact your ex.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be &#8220;that girl&#8221;.</p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-143 alignright" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial;" title="waiting-for-the-phone-to-ring" src="http://www.breakupadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/waiting-for-the-phone-to-ring-300x195.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="195" /></p>
</div>
<div>This is the time where you muster up the strength to deal with the tension and pain of the initial shock.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Show yourself you can do it&#8230;</p>
</div>
<div>
<div>And if you are still compelled to call or contact him after the initial stretch has passed then do it&#8230; But don&#8217;t decieve yourself&#8230;</p>
<p>Wait until you are doing it from a place where you are centered and you have a clear head&#8230;</p></div>
<p>And you are not doing it from a place of panic.</p>
<h2><strong>Mistake #2: Giving Him Another Opportunity To Let You Down or &#8220;Reject&#8221; You</strong></h2>
<p>When it comes to someone we love&#8230; We can be suckers for self inflicted pain.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s an inevitable part of being a someone who values deep connection and romance&#8230;</p>
<p>Of course, this can (and often does) spin terribly out of control.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Unfortunately, what will make you feel MORE heartbroken than you are right now&#8230;</p>
<p>Is doing it over again and again.</p>
<p>Women spend so much time fantasizing about getting back with that &#8220;special guy&#8221;, or how they are destined to still be &#8220;in each other&#8217;s lives&#8221; that they don&#8217;t give themselves the space to actually move on and get over her.</p>
<p>One of the toughest parts about trying to get over guy you are still in love with is is that its hard to think about anything else&#8230;</p>
<p>Especially if you still are REALLY into him.</p>
<p>But now is NOT the time to &#8220;pour your heart out&#8221; or let him know how much you can&#8217;t stop thinking about him.</p>
<p>Let him wonder.</p>
<p>Let him think about whether he made a mistake.</p>
<p>And let him MISS you.</p>
</div>
<div>
<h2><strong>Mistake #3: Thinking the &#8220;Intensity&#8221; of the Pain Means You &amp; Him Are Meant To Be</strong></h2>
<p>Breaking up f*$!ing hurts.</p>
<p>The lifestyle change.</p>
<div>The space he left behind..</div>
</div>
<div>
<p>The &#8220;new&#8221; future ahead of you&#8230;</p>
<p>No two ways about it&#8230; Not only does it hurt, but let&#8217;s face it.</p>
<p>It can be SCARY.</p>
<p>But if you were with someone you cared about enought to be in pain in the first place&#8230;</p>
<p>There is no &#8220;clean break&#8221;.</p>
<p>No skipping the cathardic experience of dealing with the loss of someone you still love.</p>
<p>But the pain you are in has NOTHING to do with whether or not you and him should be together.</p>
<p>And as BAD as this can feel&#8230;</p>
<p>There that one thing that is actually WORSE than breaking up.</p>
<p>Being in a relationship with a guy who doesn&#8217;t love you.</p>
<p>Being in a relationship that drains you and makes you feel bad.</p>
<p>Being WEIGHED down by the constant drama, emotional roller coasters and the endless &#8220;push and pull&#8221;.</p>
<h2><strong>Mistake #4: Not Taking Action To Deal With the Break Up Directly</strong></h2>
<p>Sitting in indecision&#8230;</p>
<p>Hanging on his every response, and wondering what he is thinking&#8230;</p>
<p>Waiting for him and &#8220;hanging in limbo&#8221;&#8230;</p>
<p>Will only make your daily life painful.</p>
<p>It will make him LOSE RESPECT for you.</p>
<p>And it will keep the right man from ever coming into your life&#8230; So many women pass up opportunities for a better relationship<br />
because they are still &#8220;holding out&#8221; for a guy who they know DEEP DOWN isn&#8217;t right for them.</p>
<p>Despite what their girlfriends or family tell them, or what they know any self respecting woman should do&#8230; They keep hanging on.</p>
<p>The next step in handling a break up is making a decision and sticking with it.</p>
<p>No matter how messy, painful or inconvienient it might be.</p>
<p>And when you&#8217;ve made that decision, holding to it&#8230;</p>
<p>And deal with the break up so that you get over the pain and over him in a way that is natural and lasting.</p>
<p>Take the survey below to see what your &#8220;next step&#8221; is in dealing with this break up.</p>

<div>Okay, so you&#8217;ve just broken up with your boyfriend or girlfriend. Your world has been turned upside down, all you want to do is sleep, and you can&#8217;t seem to understand how you&#8217;re going to work, eat, or be physically capable at all. The only thing that sounds like an option is sitting at home on the couch watching Scrubs re-runs.Worst of all, everyone you know doesn&#8217;t know that you&#8217;re single and you can&#8217;t bare the thought of explaining what happened to everyone you know. I mean, your boss even knew your date, and is expecting the two of you at a business party in a few weeks.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s right, you&#8217;re slowly sinking into the deep, dark realization that you&#8217;re going through yet another breakup. Although you dread facing the outside world, you&#8217;ve got a plan on how to get over the break up while facing the rest of the ignorant, question asking world.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.breakupadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/after-breaking-up.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-95" title="after-breaking-up" src="http://www.breakupadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/after-breaking-up-300x200.jpg" alt="ex boyfriend" width="300" height="200" /></a>How to Handle the Family</strong></p>
<p>Simple. You&#8217;re just going to tell them to mind their own business. Your latest partner was only a fling and you knew the relationship was never going to be long term. You aren&#8217;t upset at all. And no, Mom, you won&#8217;t be bringing them home to visit next week, it&#8217;s over. No, we&#8217;re not getting married. What? No, your friend can&#8217;t date them! Are you crazy?!</p>
<p><strong>How to Handle the Workplace After a Break Up</strong></p>
<p>Unfortunately, your co-workers are quite friendly and because you were so thrilled with how well your relationship was going, you shared details with many of your co-workers. You know that facing your nosy co-workers will be the hardest part of the break up, but you can handle it. When you get to work, simply explain that your significant other was captured by Russian spies. When your co-workers send you crazy looks, or question your story, stick it. If they&#8217;re really getting on your nerves, browse the internet and get your facts straight. Make it impossible not to believe your story. Instead of feeling sorry for you, they&#8217;ll just be amazed that you dated someone who was important enough to be kidnapped by Russian spies!</p>
<p><strong>How to Handle the Neighbor </strong></p>
<p>Honestly, you don&#8217;t understand why even the neighbor knew about your most recent relationship. Moreover, you&#8217;re baffled at why your sixty year old neighbor would have such high expectations for the relationship. You could break out the Russian spy story, but your neighbor probably saw your significant other more than your co-workers, so may not believe the Russian Spy line. It&#8217;s probably most advantageous for you to just tell your elderly neighbor the truth. Chances are, she&#8217;ll start bringing you food and gifts to try and make you feel better. And afterall, you can handle good food and sympathy gifts, it&#8217;s the best way to survive a break up!</p>
<p><strong>How to Handle the Friends</strong></p>
<p>Handling your friends will probably be the most difficult group to handle. If your friends are at all close to you, they probably already know that you&#8217;re going through a break up and will be ready to offer a shoulder to cry on with lots of <a href="http://www.breakupadvice.com/">break up advice</a>. Take the advice, cry on the shoulder, because it&#8217;s not always easy to get over a break up, but remind your friends that your date was actually kidnapped by Russian spies and if they continue talking about him/her, they might be next.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The cold hard truth is your man is no longer in your life after a tough breakup. So, there you sit all day long crying your eyes out. You clasp his tear-stained photograph and a box of tissues in one hand and your telephone in the other just hoping he will call and say he can’t live without you . . . but the call doesn’t come.</p>
<p><strong>Stop Replaying the Breakup:</strong></p>
<p>The best &#8220;break up advice&#8221; for women is to keep moving forward in your life. Stop reliving the play-by-play breakup. As hard as it seems to believe when going through a breakup, now is the time to put one foot in front of the other. Stop torturing yourself day after day hoping he will call. Make a new life for yourself and put the pain on the back burner.</p>
<p><strong>The First Step towards a New Life:</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.breakupadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/after-breaking-up.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-66" title="Relaxing in jacuzzi" src="http://www.breakupadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/after-breaking-up-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>Stop thinking about your man. Think about yourself and how you can make yourself happy by doing something that you have always wanted to do. Now is the time to be a little self-centered and take care of you. Take joy in little things like a kitten chasing a leaf, the sun warming the top of your head, a snowflake on your eyelash, or the smell after a rain storm. If you wake up and feel crabby, paste a smile on your face and your heart will follow.</p>
<p><strong>The Second Step is to Leave Your Ex Alone:</strong></p>
<p>That’s right! No chasing or calling him. When your man sees you living your life and being happy, he might just be drawn back to you. If you can show that you are not a clingy, whiner, he might see that you are everything he ever wanted and then some. By going on with your life, he will be able to see you from afar and admire your independence. If he thinks that he really wasn’t your entire universe, then he might see a challenge and try to win you back so that he can be your one and only once again.</p>
<p><strong>5 Tips for Moving Forward:</strong></p>
<p>Change your mindset and change your life. By moving forward you will shed the old baggage of feeling like a failure because of the breakup.<br />
1. Now is the time to go places and socialize with others.<br />
2. Don’t hide in your home and cry yourself to sleep.<br />
3. Take a walk in the park and clear your mind.<br />
4. Go to the library and find a positive thinking book for inspiration.<br />
5. Try a new hairstyle or stop by a makeup counter and ask for a free makeover.</p>
<p><strong>Live Your Life for You:</strong></p>
<p>If you happen to bump into your ex partner, just be nice and make small talk. Show him how confident you are and let him see that you are able to function without him. Happiness comes from within so by making your own happiness you are not depending upon someone else to make you happy. Perhaps your ex partner felt trapped by trying to be your whole world and make your happiness for you. Once he sees that you can be happy on your own, he might feel drawn to you once again. Sometimes being apart can make the heart grow fonder.</p>
<p><strong>Change Your Priorities and Find Happiness:</strong></p>
<p>Smothering someone after a breakup with begging and pleading is not the way to win their heart back. A better break up advice for women is to fill your life with activities and joy so that you can show yourself and your ex partner that you can in fact cope. Change the priority of your life from trying to win back your ex partner to winning back your happiness and self-confidence.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was easy for me to get over my ex and the painful break up. Why? You&#8217;ll see&#8230;It was back in 2004, I had just got out of the US Army and I was looking for romance or so I had thought. Maybe I was just thinking with the wrong head. In any case, I went to a local bar and I found a very beautiful brunette with legs up to her neck. I was in complete awe but after a few more shots of tequila I got up the nerve to ask her to dance. She actually said yes. The rest was history, as they say. We were married 3 months later.</p>
<p>Yes, I know. How can someone marry another person after 3 months? Trust me, I ask myself that very same question every single day of my life. Things started to change around the 4 month mark. She wanted to spend more time with her &#8220;friends&#8221; or wanted to spend time &#8220;alone&#8221;.</p>
<p>I really had no problem with her doing this until it became something she wanted to do all the time. I decided to go to my brother with my worries. He had actually knew her before we married and he said she was a &#8220;wild one&#8221;. I didn&#8217;t listen mainly because I thought I could tame her. He repeatedly told me to keep an eye on her.</p>
<p>Weeks past and I just got fed up with all the crap she was putting me through. She would stay out all hours of the night, have secretive phone calls, etc. I was done trying to be nice. We had it out. We talked and I thought we worked things out because we had &#8220;make-up&#8221; sex. But that was just her way of not getting kicked out. She went back to her deceitful ways and before I knew it, we were back to where we were before.</p>
<p>One Monday morning, I was off to work and I got halfway there and I had to turn around because I forgot something. When I pulled up I saw another car in the driveway. Didn&#8217;t think much of it at the time. Until I walked in on my wife having sex with 3 other people. Needless to say, she was a whore in my book from there on out. There was no reason for me to get over my ex girlfriend. That was reason enough. I hated her. But my ex girlfriend got what she deserved. She did me wrong and I learned that 2 months after we split she had been diagnosed with GC and Chlamydia. Karma is hell.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Intro&#8230;</strong></p>
<div id="textpreview">Whether you are a man, woman, or transvestite, you are going to experience a break up at some time in your life. It is inevitable, and is just a part of life as is eating or sleeping. When dealing with a break up, you might have had people tell you “there are other fish in the sea”, but sometimes that corny phrase doesn’t completely heal the empty void that fills your heart after a break up. Let me give you some golden break up advice, while telling you one of the worst, yet slightly humorous, relationship’s that I have had that have gone from great to terrible in a very short period of time.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The Beginning&#8230;</strong></p>
</div>
<div>Picture this; I’m seventeen, I’m considered handsome by most, and I’m bathing in my glory days while in my junior year of high school. It’s the last day of the year, and the whole junior class has taken a field trip to “Skate Station Funworks” for some good old skating and dancing. I’m playing an intense game of air hockey with my best friend, and all of a sudden I feel a light tapping on my shoulder. I turn around, and to my surprise it’s this Korean girl named Emma who I’ve had a “crush” on since the 3rd grade. She quickly blushed and asked me if I wanted to dance, so I casually said &#8220;sure&#8221;, being the shy type of guy I am. Next thing I knew we were dancing; however, there was no physical contact or even the slightest bit of small talk whatsoever. She was a very awkward individual to say the least. After the field trip, she promptly ran up to me as our class was departing from the busses, more than ready to leave home for summer. Emma gave me her phone number and a hug, asking me to call her over the summer; which I did. If only I could have foreseen the future, I would have said no. Yes, this story is about to take a very unfortunate turn.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The Break Up Nightmare Begins&#8230;</strong></p>
</div>
<div><a href="http://www.breakupadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/pain-of-breaking-up.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-72" title="pain-of-breaking-up" src="http://www.breakupadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/pain-of-breaking-up-e1300957856788-300x300.jpg" alt="third-wheel-with-my-ex" width="300" height="300" /></a>About a week into summer I called Emma, and we set up our first date. I was going over to my best friend’s house for a night, and we decided to go see a movie with Emma since they both lived in the same neighborhood. The date was extremely awkward for me, due to the fact that my best friend and Emma were constantly flirting with each other, causing me to feel like a third wheel. They shared a soda and popcorn, which really pushed me over the edge. It wouldn’t have been so bad if they both weren’t Korean and lived in the same neighborhood; but just wait, it gets worse. After a couple more dates going the same, awkward way, I decided to stop calling Emma. I lost the will to exercise, took up eating for comfort, gained a load of pounds, and lost all physical attractiveness whatsoever. I was depressed, and my summer had been ruined. When I saw her holding hands with my best friend at school a couple weeks later, I decided to stop talking with her all together. This is when I knew I had to break up with her, but to my surprise she beat me to it.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>A Happy Ending&#8230;</strong></p>
</div>
<div>A night or two later, Emma gave me a call. She was really quite, and said we should stop seeing each other because I was not giving her enough attention and it didn’t seem like I was interested in her anymore. I was so angry that I simply said “You’re right” and hung up the phone without giving her the chance to respond. I was so glad that the situation was finally over, although I felt like I had been shot down to the point where I never wanted to date again. Look at me now, a year later and I have the best girl a guy could ask for. She gives me her full attention, and I give her my full attention. She motivated me to get back in shape, and now I’m one of the fittest guys I know. The key to living through a break up is hope. I guess when it comes to surviving a break up, all a person can really do is hang tight and repeat to themselves “there are other fish in the sea”.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The cold hard truth is your man is no longer in your life after a tough breakup. So, there you sit all day long crying your eyes out. You clasp his tear-stained photograph and a box of tissues in one hand and your telephone in the other just hoping he will call and say he can’t live without you . . . but the call doesn’t come.</p>
<div id="textpreview"><strong>Stop Replaying the Breakup:</strong></div>
<div>The best break up advice for women is to keep moving forward in your life. Stop reliving the play-by-play breakup. As hard as it seems to believe when going through a breakup, now is the time to put one foot in front of the other. Stop torturing yourself day after day hoping he will call. Make a new life for yourself and put the pain on the back burner.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The First Step towards a New Life:</strong></p>
</div>
<div>Stop thinking about your man. Think about yourself and how you can make yourself happy by doing something that you have always wanted to do. Now is the time to be a little self-centered and take care of you. Take joy in little things like a kitten chasing a leaf, the sun warming the top of your head, a snowflake on your eyelash, or the smell after a rain storm. If you wake up and feel crabby, paste a smile on your face and your heart will follow.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The Second Step is to Leave Your Ex Alone:</strong></p>
</div>
<div>That’s right! No chasing or calling him. When your man sees you living your life and being happy, he might just be drawn back to you. If you can show that you are not a clingy, whiner, he might see that you are everything he ever wanted and then some. By going on with your life, he will be able to see you from afar and admire your independence. If he thinks that he really wasn’t your entire universe, then he might see a challenge and try to win you back so that he can be your one and only once again.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>5 Tips for Moving Forward:</strong></p>
</div>
<div>Change your mindset and change your life. By moving forward you will shed the old baggage of feeling like a failure because of the breakup.<br />
1. Now is the time to go places and socialize with others.<br />
2. Don’t hide in your home and cry yourself to sleep.<br />
3. Take a walk in the park and clear your mind.<br />
4. Go to the library and find a positive thinking book for inspiration.<br />
5. Try a new hairstyle or stop by a makeup counter and ask for a free makeover.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Live Your Life for You: </strong></p>
</div>
<div>If you happen to bump into your ex partner, just be nice and make small talk. Show him how confident you are and let him see that you are able to function without him. Happiness comes from within so by making your own happiness you are not depending upon someone else to make you happy. Perhaps your ex partner felt trapped by trying to be your whole world and make your happiness for you. Once he sees that you can be happy on your own, he might feel drawn to you once again. Sometimes being apart can make the heart grow fonder.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Change Your Priorities and Find Happiness:</strong></p>
</div>
<div>Smothering someone after a breakup with begging and pleading is not the way to win their heart back. A better break up advice for women is to fill your life with activities and joy so that you can show yourself and your ex partner that you can in fact cope. Change the priority of your life from trying to win back your ex partner to winning back your happiness and self-confidence.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I met my ex boyfriend Chris I thought that I had finally met my husband. I know that may sound extreme, but he had so many of the qualities that I was looking for. We met on one of those online dating sites. I said that I was looking for friends only, but when he sent me a message I knew that I had to get to know him better. He was a minister and he had no children.</p>
<p>Those two qualities right there were enough to make me say; yes I want to marry you. When we met, my first impression of him was that he was kind of quirky. I thought that he was going to drive over my house, but he took the bus. He got off the bus at the wrong stop and he looked a little chunkier in person.</p>
<p>We had so much fun hanging out that first day and the first few weeks stayed that way. When classes started for the fall semester, our relationship started to change. He seemed that he was busy more, that he did not like talking on the phone so much, and he did not want to hang out as much. I asked him what things had changed between us, and he insisted that everything was the same. Fast forward four months, and our relationship was in shambles. The state fair was going on and I had been calling him, asking him if he wanted to go.</p>
<p>Sometimes he said yeah, and that we would go be before it was over and other days, he just did not answer the phone. I was tired of him and I was ready to end the relationship. I stopped calling him for a few weeks. When he saw that I was not interested, then he started to call me back. I was really starting to think that he was a loser. I was tired of him and he said that he was going through things and that he needed counseling before he could be in a relationship. I said fine and we ended the relationship.</p>
<p>Well fast forward to Christmas time and I started to miss him. I called, emailed, for one month and did not hear from him. Well when he called me back he acted like he really missed me. We talked and we said that we would be friends, which I knew was not a good idea since I was trying to get over my ex boyfriend. Well it turns out he was still a loser and he was talking to someone else. I was tired of him and I nipped the relationship in the bud before my feelings grew stronger for him. I found that the get way to get over an ex is to realize that he is a loser and not worth my time.</p>
