Getting over a dick head

9 replies

0828GCL · 18/12/2021 18:07

Can't believe at 33 I've just been palmed off in the rudest way by someone who I was actually really starting to like. I feel like I'm 18 again.
He's obviously a total dick who doesn't deserve my tears or thoughts, but I'm sat here feeling so gutted and upset about it.
Any tips on how to get over a total tool quickly, rather than ruminating constantly?

I'm feeling exactly the same way! Tearful and sad over some boy. Im trying that every single time I find myself thinking about him I sing a song to distract myself. To distract myself from the thoughts. It is helping a bit actually! Also trying to keep busy and be kind to myself, I'm trying to turn my negative thoughts around and not beat myself up.

We will look back on this in the future and wonder why we were so gutted! Xx

Keep drumming it into yourself, you are worth so much more than a rude dick head , you are right to never put up with any rudeness and anyone that lets you go unkindly says more about them than you.

Make plans to see a friend or even another date, you'll soon get over him.

Thanks Ladies,
@sophmum31 - are you feeling any better? I just keep hoping he'll be in touch, even though deep down I know I don't really want that. Damn these wankers!

I do the ‘write a letter to him and burn it’ thing. (Defo don’t send it)!!

That helps me get all my frustration out. Even if it’s a fullscap page long.

He’s an arse. Bet you a fiver in a months time he’s back in touch.

Wanker.

You’ve dodged a bullet.

I’ve written notes In my phone
So I’m either reading them
Or
Checking bloody WhatsApp

Write down the top 10 shitty things he did

If he behaved rudely in his rejection of you just think what a massive cock he is. Remember other times you felt sad about a guy and recall how you suddenly didn't care anymore. There'll be loads of fun and happy times that won't include that particular tosser. Yay!

Also: When you go to bed tonight listen to "Get over your ex while you sleep" by Progressive Hypnosis on YouTube. It's relaxing and awesome. Repeat every night, or whenever you like in the day (better at night as you sleep afterwards and wake up feeling great).

I was the same last month. Already met someone better. The other guy was a shit loser whod shagged most of Manchetser and he was a shit dad to his poor son. I deserve better and appear to have done better

@0828GCL I'm glad you tagged me as I was convincing myself sending him a message was a good idea and it's distracted me! To be fair, mine was so nice about everything and not a dick and I sent him some embarrassing drunk texts the night it happened and I was going to apologise but I should just leave it shouldn't I?! Move on.

Make a playlist of songs about strong women. Play it loudly. Dance and sing along.
