I do not understand how you could not notice having been broken up with. For months! Did she break up with him in a letter that got lost in the post or something (happened to one of my friends)?!

Did he make jokes to try and make it less awkward? Because I've heard...from, you know, friends...that that doesn't actually work...

"that morning after...that thing happened...you know...the thing..."

I'll get my minions on it...

He is the perfect age for me. It's meant to be! Do you think America is ready for a British First Lady? I could serve afternoon tea from the White House.

Don't worry, as a fellow dog-lover, I will take one for the team and be his First Lady. To save him (and America) from Miley. You can thank me later...

Ok, thanks. I've never spent much time around cats at all, so I wasn't really aware of how bitey/not bitey they are. This is reassuring!

I'm about to move in with a cat (and a roommate, but that I'm used to) for the first time. I'm now definitely not FREAKING OUT!

Yes! I was convinced I was going to marry my college BOYfriend (agree with your emphasis completely) until we broke up, but less than a year later I am 100% certain that we'd have been divorced by the time we were 30.

I am finding this to be true. Guys, I don't want to marry you, I'm 20. WTF?

You wouldn't buy a car without test-driving it first. #MetaphorWars

Well done for summing up everything wrong with this theory in one sentence. Seriously, bravo.

Well now Daniel Bruhl's in it, I have to watch it.

Thanks, same to you. It's always comforting to know that other people are going through similar things. I'm feeling better about my love life right now, if only because I've been reduced to a sobbing mess by tonight's episode of Call The Midwife...

The practical reason is that we're studying in different places, so can't see each other much. The reason I haven't texted or anything is that I really don't know how he feels about me and I'm scared of handing him my heart again and letting him break it a second time. I feel like I should know better by now. I'm not…

I understand how you feel about the long history thing. Right now I'm trying really hard to resist contacting someone I have a very confusing history with. Even though I really want to break my month-long silence and somehow just be with him, I can't see it ending well. It makes me feel like an idiot, like I haven't…

We may not be dealing with rationality, but at least we are dealing with a 'statue of David type body'...

I just didn't leave the house or see anyone. It's a great way of avoiding wanting to punch people. Unless, you know, you have a real job or are a contributing member of society. Then you're kind of screwed.

Well done. People can be awful when they should just be able to be happy for someone else's achievements.

I love the pearls of wisdom I come across on Jezebel. There should be a 'the best advice I've ever been given' thread.
