Getting over a romantic heartbreak

So true. Why? Prenups are meaningless in SA. Judges have chucked out the Out of Community clause as unconstitutional. You also have to share your pension with interest at 15% per year (Most return you get is barely 8%). Then you may be married for 5 years or even less and she can claim spousal maintenance for the rest of her life. That can easily be upto 80% of your salary.

So quite right. Dont do it.

Don't worry, ain't marrying.
 
How does one get over a romantic heartbreak?

Very recently got dumped (after about 3 months together, I thought things were going well), very painful (in my chest) and sad. Last time my heart was broken was 2012 but it wasn't nearly this bad, the other 2 relationships over the intervening years didn't end in heartbreak. My sleep is all messed up, I do not want to work, food is off little interest beyond having to force myself because my stomach is complaining.

So to the people with more experience in these things, how does one deal with it?
The more you let yourself go, the harder you are going to spiral. Sleep is super important for all your hormone levels to regulate correctly, which make you feel normal. When hormonal imbalances happen, that's when you start feeling like **** and depressed. In my opinion, you are going to have to take some time to focus on yourself to bounce back to feeling and operating like normal again. The sadness becomes less with time, so you are going to have to grind through for a bit.

What helped for me was going to the gym. Nothing like heartbreak to motivate you to get yourself going in the gym. Some people like running or bicycling to run away from their "demons".

All the best.
