How To Get A New Girlfriend (aka, How To Deal With A Break-Up)

It was basically one year ago today that I suffered the worst break-up of my life. I cannot compare it to anything else I’ve experienced in my life frankly.

It also involved a devastating betrayal (hard to say, harder to experience).

I want to tell you a little bit about this, AND to share the ways I got through it.

Rebound=Repair, or Why You Shouldn’t Jump From One Relationship To Another

I broke up with my girlfriend.

It’s been rough.

Part of the deal in any break-up is the inevitable need to rebound. Or, to get someone else as soon as possible. Or, to secure validation (now lost) from a new person so I can stop the pain.

Rebounds happen ALL THE TIME. In fact, for most people, it’s a normal occurrence. The less secure, the lower the self-esteem, the more likely to jump from a broken, ended relationship to another one…which will inevitably end badly – as it was constructed on broken ground.

It makes sense, doesn’t it? So, I no longer call them “rebounds” I call them “repairs”.
