10 Breakup Rules to Follow That Will Save You a Ton of Heartache

And not want to stab your ex’s eyes out

Raise your hands high in the air if you absolutely dread breaking up with someone as much as I do. 🙋‍♀️ And it’s not even so much the actual breakup. It’s the feelings you have to deal with afterward.

And all the who, what, where, when and why’s. Ugh. So many emotions, so much anxiety.

You were sure this was ‘the one’. A lifetime of bliss and joyful love.

So that didn’t happen and here we are. Writing the dreaded “Dear John, I love you but you’re a jerk and I gotta go” letter. I remember when I had to write my goodbye letter 7 years or so ago I felt like throwing up.

I couldn’t believe I was doing it. We had been together for almost 8 years. 8 years of way too many lows and just not enough highs. I was sure this was the guy I was gonna marry.

Thank God I came to my senses. Phew!
