It can often happen after a breakup that you find yourself alone as your friends will have been friends of you and your partner. Would you think of joining an online group where people meet up in real life?

Spend time with friends and family and keep yourself busy.. in the beginning it hurts but it gets easier over time and soon u wont even care anymore either way.. you will be ready to move on with life and date someone else before ya know it..

I hope i could do that..the problem is that i am alone and do not have many friends....the only way i am passing time is spending time online but still i am unable to forget her...everything i do reminds me of her

keep yourself occupied. cry when you need to, don't hold it in..you won't heal. um..... what else??? I don't know.. everyone handles it differently and it all depends on how close you were with the person you broke up with... but definately dont bottle up your feelings... they will catch up to you. I guess the best thing to do is to think about what happened in the relationship and try to figure out what made things so bad, this way you can learn what you truely value in a relationship and hopefully your next will be better because of it. Good luck =)

hey.. i hope that you didn't take what i said the wrong way.. break ups are hard. the only thing we can do is try to make the best of them.. learn from it. I recently broke up with my bf of 7 and half years... and it is hard. and the only good advice i could think of to give you is to let yourself do the mourning thing and try to move on. I tried to run away from it and ignore what happened for the first few weeks of our break up... and all it did was make it worse because everything i was shoving away caught up to me. i do wish you the best of luck in this.. and ifyou need to vent you can message me =)
