Getting over her

[Giftfromme]

O.K. This is how it goes. You get an orangutan. I'm not talking a monkey or some dancing chimp BS, I mean a damn orangutan. Don't ask me how you're gonna get an orangutan that's not my problem. So the orangutan's name is Clyde. This is non-negotiable, all orangutans are named Clyde. I don't know why this is, it's just how the world works. So you and Clyde become man (and ape) about town. You're seen everywhere together, you make the scene. You and friends go out in big groups. You talk loud, you laugh louder. Every time you say something witty you high-five the orangutan. The town begins to buzz. It gets back to her. "Did you know the guy with the orangutan?" "You used to date the guy with the orangutan?" "Why would you break up with a guy with an orangutan?" Next thing you know she's calling.

"I'm hoping we can still be friends. Wanna hang out sometime?" "Geez I dunno, me and Clyde were going to a monster truck race tonight. (Orangutans love monster trucks) In fact the whole social calendar seems kinda full. I tell you what, I'll make a little note (what was your name again?) and maybe I can squeeze you in. Oh, well you know my number so don't be a stra- Hey look at the time! I gotta skate, Clyde's making Mojitos'."

At this point the upper hand is yours. You can let her twist in the wind; you can draw her back into your life at the pace you decide. Whatever, it's your life. But if you're a smart man? You slowly phase her back in. You're IM'ng. You're talking on Live. You get invited to family functions. You bring Clyde, he becomes like one of the family. You're one big Brady Bunch.

That's the most ridiculous shit ever, but it works for me. I would say go this route for sure, and the sooner you start, the better

Here's what you do. Get pissed, drink booze (optional I suppose), realize she was a waste of time, get on with your life. Yes it sounds cruel, heartless, and maybe even stupid. But let me tell you two things.
1. It will always hurt to some degree and will never go away. Sure years might go by and your fine but then you'll see something that will remind you about her or you two together. It won't be a day crushing hurt but it will still be a sting in your chest about it. So the quicker to get rid the majoirty of the pain the better.
2. You have complete control over how much suffering is in your life. If you don't want to cry and be sad over everything and be depressed look at yourself and what's going on and say, "screw this! I hate being miserable." And get up and enjoy the things you do in life again.

Now that doesn't mean you have to do things byyourself anymore of course. Call up family or friends and just say, "hey, I wanna go do something". Just get out of that pit of remorse and regret. Because it'll never go away unless you crawl out of it.
