The inspiration of this blog came from my first initial break up with boyfriend N. We had been dating for 6 months back in 2006-2007, and he dumped me. Distraught and upset, I turned to friends and vodka. I was talking to a good friend while drinking, and I told her that I wished there was a 21st century manual to help navigate through all of the motions of breaking up with a significant other. With the introduction of MySpace, Twitter, Facebook, 4square and the like, how was a girl supposed to move on? The digital trail of your ex can be lethal, especially when you know how to face stalk with the best of them. And let's just get it out there right now - you know that given the opportunity, you will sit on his facebook page just waiting for another person to post SOMETHING about his love life. You will also peruse "casually" through your mutual friends to see if he has any photos of a new girl you don't know. I know. I have been there.
N and I worked things out, and I continued to date him from 2007 to July 9th, 2010. On Friday, July 9th, my relationship ended with N. (If you care to hear the gruesome story, check out my other blog here) Again, I turned to friends and vodka. The same girlfriend mentioned to me that she bet I wished I wrote that break-up manual back in 2007. I laughed, but it got me thinking. Why DON'T I write a blog about breaking up, based upon first hand experience? I am no expert on love and relationships, but I am a 26 year old girl who has learned a lot in the last several months. I am hoping some of my wisdom may assist others in getting through an awful, no good, very bad time in life.
Oh, and I suggest vodka. Vodka will always help any situation.
