Sorry you're going through this. I'm approaching my third week post-break up. My crying place is my car. I'll leave work or a restaurant or the movies feeling ok and then once I get in my car I fall apart. It's not ok. Not yet.

Relax. Go slow. Use lube.
Focus on being awesome, so you don't have time to obsess. Also, just because two people get married doesn't mean they're happy or will stay together. But it shouldn't matter. He's just one guy.
What have you got to lose?
It can be hard to watch people move on to different stages in life. I've found, though, that if I'm feeling uncomfortable or jealous that means there is something in my life that I need to address. Once I'm more satisfied with myself, then I can enjoy other people's happiness without worrying how that happiness…
Not sure what you have to feel guilty about. You didn't cheat on anyone, right? And you came clean to Jon about talking to your ex? Of course, guilt isn't always rational. Maybe these emotions are a warning that you aren't happy with your own decisions. I hope you make the most of your month alone. Don't think so much…
Bernadette Peters! She is the real deal, a true Broadway legend. Plus she seems to have the Helen Mirren type of aging that makes the sixties seem sexy. I want to be her when I grow up.
I'm so sorry! It sucks to think you have a built-in date for all the upcoming holiday events and then just get blindsided like that. Plus, snuggling in the cold is the best. I'm sure things will work out for you! This frees you up to find someone that you have more in common with.
Smells are so tied into memories; it's hard to shake. I don't know when I'll wear my favorite perfume again because I always busted it out on special occasions, so now it makes me think of date nights and Valentine's Day. Ugh. I'm glad you have good people around you. A full calendar definitely helps. Best of luck!
Stay strong. I spent the last week of my relationship trying to get my boyfriend to see my perspective. It didn't work and now I'm kind of embarrassed that I tried so hard, when he had already given up. So continue to resist!
That is rough. Sorry. I just got dumped and it sucks. I know you want to get all your feelings out to her, but it honestly sounds like she is done, so you would be pouring your heart out for nothing. Maybe try writing a letter with all these feelings, but don't send it? I've had a few friends who had good experiences…
I kind of feel like the point is that we (white ladies) are supposed to shut up and listen. Which I am perfectly happy to do.
In Time! Romantic and fun with several twists.
I know this sucks, but you can't do anything to get him back. Either the feelings are there or they aren't. And if he can't handle one stupid fight, then he was never going to last long term.
Not going to lie, it will probably suck for a while. He was a big part of your life. But this relationship ended for a reason (or maybe several) and you just have to keep that in mind moving forward. It's going to be more than ok. It's going to be AMAZING.
You have come to the right place. There are several of us going through breakups right now. I just got dumped by my boyfriend of three years, with whom I lived. I think that's the part that hurts the most; I lost my home. (We were renting his dad's condo, so I was the one that had to go.)
How rude. What an ass. Can you avoid him at the next family part? Because that was seriously hurtful and unnecessary.
First of all, it's never too late to meet someone new who will treat you well. Even if you're alone for a while, that has to be better than the constant back-and-forth with a guy who has mistreated you for so long. You may feel like you have wasted the last nine years, but there was something about this guy that drew…
Wow. I am so sorry that you had to cross paths with such a psycho. You're right; you did nothing to deserve that kind of abuse. I don't know what I would do if a stranger confronted me like that. So scary.
You know you want to tell her. Just say it! Or if you can't get the words out of your mouth, write them down.
