ride it out/write it out
I have visited this site several times a day lately. It's about getting over a breakup and it's been invaluable to me. It lists 10 things to do after a breakup. I haven't yet done #5: Take a Relationship Inventory. Time to remedy that.
The journaling, well, it's being done more or less here on LJ.
Inventory:
Pros/Highs
companionship
touchstone
flirting
sex
distraction
partner
someone to do things with
I was falling in love
He didn't get on my nerves
always got butterflies when he'd call
compliments
Cons/Lows
his quick temper and standoffish behavior of late
racist language that threw me for a serious loop
he was rebounding
he cheated
he yelled at me when I caught him with her
he hasn't called since that day
he has commitment issues
he's selfish
he puts his friends and fishing ahead of me
he stopped wanting me physically
cruel and heartless reaction to my pain
he's a real little shit
