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?

I have heard that there hot single cashiers in your area.
 
I was once hurt a long time ago and many other harsh things going on at the same time.

I saw her a few years later and was glad because she looked like a dog.

I've built the attitude it takes two to make a relationship work and both giving 110%.

If this doesn't happen I walk away.

I think I've built a sense to detect things won't work and no matter the other benefits or the liking having her on your arm in public - I give the boot quickly and easily without hurt or hesitation.
 
You Just have to accept things and move on as best you can at your own pace. When i split from my ex of almost 15 years it felt like everything had stopped... Took some time, lots of bike rides and runs but now i couldnt care less about the fat cow and consider myself fortunate to be shot of it :ROFL:
 
This might sound a little out of left field but:

ask her to lend you R15k. Either she says no, in which case you will naturally start avoiding her out of embarrassment, or she says yes out of guilt, in which case you just scored a windfall.

If she does give you the money, wait a day then try to hook up. She may scam herself into taking you back due to the sunk cost fallacy in thinking she’s going to get her money back.

I disagree, rebound relationships inevitably fail.


This is good.

Meant rather focus on someone new and move forward rather than cry over who's already lost. Not necessarily get shackled up, more like diversify your income portfolio and spread your risk a bit :)

My apologies for misunderstanding your post then.

All too often people jump / move from one bad relationship to another, it is easy initially, but serial rebound relationships can burn one out emotionally, financially, physically and cognitively.

Best to have a break, take stock, one day at a time. No more relationships, until one is strong enough to plan ahead.
