Getting Dumped

[scheherazade_79]

It just happened to me. Even though I can think of a dozen and one reasons why it's definitely for the best, it still hurts.

It wasn't even a lengthy affair - over and out in the space of three weeks.

Tomorrow I'm throwing caution to the wind and buying a sports car and going clothes shopping. I feel like I deserve it.

Anything that involves the notion of 'dumping' wasn't a real relationship to begin with. You know it's better. It might not feel as nice, but what you have now is real and you can build something really good on it.

Remember the 'disconnecting' scene from The Matrix? This is kind of how this is. Better hard, but real, than sweet and nice but fake. Cheer up.

Do not underestimate the power of denial as a coping mechanism:

She didn't really dump you. You knew there were a million and one reasons not to continue the relationship...you were just employing the time-honored method of making the other person dump you first so you didn't have to do the dirty work...yeah, that's how it happened...plus, now you can buy that sports car you wanted - she was probably the SUV type anyway...

Thanks Wolk and Lady Jeanne. Lots of wise words. I'm pretty much back on form now. Off to look at a black puma tomorrow

Don't forget the chocolate. Chocolate is important. I have some birthday cake here that I could share.

Shows I love you at least. You have to be special to be offered my cake.

Come on, I'll buy you a drink.

Nooooo! Rebound eating is deadly to women. If we gain two pounds during the post-relationship doldrums, we feel like whales.

Indulgence is good. Indulge in cute workout clothes or a couple of spa massages, but ban chocolate from your life until you're back in business. Be particularly careful to avoid the Haagen Daz section of your supermarket's ice cream freezer. If you find yourself staring at their Chocolate Peanut Butter as if debating what kind of car to buy, run away screaming.
