Still in my own shock (as my user name would suggest).

I find listening to Rihanna's 'Take a Bow is good.

Also, Beyonce's 'Irreplaceable'.

They're not my usual artists to listen to but they help.

Any other strong songs you lot can think of? Flowers

I’m gonna be alright- jlo

I hate you so much right now- kelis

I refuse- Aaliyah

GregoryPeckingDuck · 07/03/2019 21:26

I would suggest listening to Laura Marling’s Album Once I Was an Eagle from start to finish in order. It’s the best break up album of all time. It’s truly remarkable when listen to in full.

OogieMcBoogie · 07/03/2019 21:29

Kelis - Trick Me

Andyjakeydan · 07/03/2019 21:30

Nothing lasts forever Echo and the bunnymen

You picked a fine day to leave me Lucille
Ruby (don't take your love to town)

Farewell mein liebe Herr (from Cabaret)
Baby I don't care - Transvision Vamp
Hot N Cold - Katy Perry
I want to break free - Queen
Sisters are doing it for themselves - Eurhythmics
Bat out of hell - Meatloaf

These Boots are Made For Walking - Nancy Sinatra

“These boots are made for walking
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you...”

Youtube 'Dickhead' by Miles Betterman. It's also on iTunes. It's hilarious.
We played it (and many others) at my 'Ding Done The Dickhead's Gone' post-break up party.
Played party games like pass the parcel with forfeits such as 'do an impression of ex' & 'punch a cushion like it's his face' & a game of 'pin the dick on his head' like pin the tail on the donkey. Very therapeutic.

I am the resurrection- Stone Roses

Down, down, you bring me down
I hear you knocking down my door
And I can't sleep at night.
Your face it has no place
No room for you inside my house
I need to be alone.
Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you,
I don't care where you've been or what you plan to do.

Disclaimer- not a fan...But Cheryl Cole I don't care (sweary version,).

OohMrDarcy · 07/03/2019 22:24

Anne Marie - ciao adios

Rachel Platten - Fight Song

Pink so what, you and your hand , blow me one last kiss

Kelly Clarkson- since you been gone, because of you

Little mix - shout out to my ex

I had a rather good playlist going depending on if I felt angry or sad or needed to feel strong!

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 07/03/2019 22:24

Christina Aguilera - You Lost Me. Years ago when I first heard this song (way after it was made!) I couldn't stop listening to it. There was something so beautiful about it that I couldn't get enough and felt every emotion, so much so that I sang it brilliantly and very raw and had to record a cover with my vocal coach...

Funnily enough, it transpired a couple of months later that my dickhead now ex started cheating on me at the time the song really hit me. Pretty sure it was my subconcious telling me something!!!

OohMrDarcy · 07/03/2019 22:25

Oooh and Taylor swift !

Notmyrealname855 · 07/03/2019 22:28

If you’re grieving a relationship (the man you thought he was), then Lauren Hill’s Ex Factor. I used to sob at the last lines!

Whitney YES!!!! “Rather be alone than unhappy” StarStarStar

Notmyrealname855 · 07/03/2019 22:32

Cardi B’s Be Careful is angry too:

^You even got me tripping, you got me looking in the mirror different- thinking I'm flawed because you inconsistent
Between a rock and a hard place, the mud and the dirt, its going to hurt me to hate you, but lovin' you's worse
It all stops so abrupt, we start switchin' it up
Teach me to be like you so I can not give a fuck
Free to mess with someone else, I wish these feelings could melt
'Cause you don't care about a thing except your mothafuckin' self, you make me sick^

shockandawe1 · 07/03/2019 22:33

Thank you so much, everyone.

When I get the kids off to school tomorrow, I'm getting all these mother fucker songs out, belting full blast.

There's no going back for me after what I've found out. That cunt is gone for good. Xx

Just keep going! You are already in a better place than you were, keep moving forward and fixate on your future

Your ex is trash, you’re on a different level Flowers
