If you’re reading this, my heart goes out to you. I know you are in a tough spot right now. Whether you’re on the brink of ending a relationship or someone just absolutely wrecked your heart-there’s no way you’re feeling ok right about now. The good news is, I’ve gone through every sort of breakup imaginable. I’ve reluctantly broken up with an amazing person because I wasn’t into it anymore, I’ve been cheated on, I’ve broken someone’s heart, I’ve been rejected, and I’ve gotten my heart broken to an exponential degree. It’s been a fun ride. So instead of stuffing all of those wonderful memories under my metaphorical bed to collect dust, I’ve decided to leave them out in the open for you to learn from. While some of these memories are painful, and I will be cringing the majority of the time I write this (seriously ) -I trust that you understand exactly what I went through, just as I understand what you’re going through now. So let’s move forward together. Breakups: The Confident Woman’s Guide to Moving On and Being Single ~ 2 Ending a Relationship I’m not one for small talk-it’s an introvert’s curse-so let’s just dive in, shall we? But...before we get to the main attraction... I think it’s important to touch on the fact that not all of you have actually *left* your relationship yet. :awkward pause: How to Know When It’s Time to End a Relationship If you are sitting there in silence, nodding your head, then pay attention! Sounds like you’re probably scared shitless to walk away from something that seems decent enough-and I get that. The thought of being alone with our thoughts can feel scarier than being with someone we deem perfectly fine. So the question is, is perfectly fine good enough for you? You’re not alone. I had trouble with this question in my early 20s. His name was Lucas. We met when I was only 13 years old. YES-you read that right-Thir-teen!Years!Old! I was a baby! But I was old enough to know that I IMMEDIATELY liked him the second I met him. I hadjust moved from Michigan to Texas during spring break of my eighth grade year, and was absolutely desperate to make new friends. I had approximately two months to find a group of people that would be willing to hang out with the new girl over summerotherwise I was toast. The pressure was on. I met Lucas on my first day of school, and knew there was something special about him. I even remember where we were-by our lockers outside of the cafeteria. (Are you feeling nostalgic yet?) Breakups: The Confident Woman’s Guide to Moving On and Being Single ~ 3 Even as an eighth grader he seemed so...old. But not in like, a creepy way. In a smart I-have-good-values-and-I-treat-people-nicely-kind-of-way. While everyone else called me “Sandy” from Grease (I am not Australian, I just had blonde hair and was the “new girl” -so clever, guys) , he stuck with my firstname. He looked me in the eye, but kept a respectful distance. He didn’t swoon, nor did he ignore me. I was so in. Alas, instead of engaging in innocent flirtation and after school AOL chats, we ended up as friends. One of my first new friends at school already liked him, and his best friend (and my neighbor) had decided he wanted to pursue the new girl at school (hi) . I simply couldn’t afford to rock the boat for a boy. But as the years passed and high school was in full bloom, we became best friends. He had girlfriends, I had a serious boyfrien
