This Week’s Question: How do you handle a breakup?

Don’t worry! Cash and I are absolutely fine. I just thought this would be a fun question to answer this week.

I’m like to say that I handle breakups well. I’d like to say that I think rationally about things and know that everything works out for the best. I’d like to say that breakups don’t have a ripple effect on the rest of my life.

I’d also like to say that I’m a bajillionaire with her own private island.

Truth be told, I put a ton of work into my relationships, so when something doesn’t work out, I’m usually devastated. And I can go a little crazy. Not “burn down your house” crazy, but like “dye my hair and hibernate in bed eating ice cream for a week while I cry like crazy.”

I can be a little dramatic.

I hear this song the other day and just had to laugh because it sums me up pretty well:

Also? Miranda Lambert is hot.

Okay, your turn: how do you handle breakups?

If you deal with depression, this can be a very powerful song. If you don’t…this can still be a very powerful song. Thank you, Jenny, for reminding me how much I need it, especially on days like today.

Fuck yes. I am exactly the person that I want to be.

The entire video is less than three minutes and definitely worth the watch. You have to watch it to the VERY end, though. Don’t get angry and stop watching half-way through.

Where was this song when D and I needed it?

I think most people have one – that ex that you got back together with one time too many. Both D and I could have stood for the other person saying “NO” instead of giving in. Sometimes love is just not enough. A relationship should not be stressful!

The sad thing is, even though we’re friends and in a much better place today, the hurt of the past will always be there. I’m not going to put words in his mouth, but I know it still stings for me when I think of our past fights and how things went down. I also know that I did and said some really nasty things to him too. We’ve both forgiven, but forgetting is hard if not impossible. Not being able to resist “getting back together” will forever mar our friendship.

To those of your on your second, third, fourth…time around with an ex. Please, say enough is enough the next time you break up. You will always love him or her, but if it didn’t work the first time, it’s not going to work this time unless maybe (and that’s a big maybe) it is several years later and you’ve both changed as people a LOT. Staying with someone just because you love them isn’t a good situation though. If you let your ex go, you can find love with someone else in a relationship that is actually happy, rather than one that stresses you out all the time.

And yes, I am unashamed to like Taylor Swift! I like her hutzpa!

Seriously.

Also, I love Chris Hardwick and actually met him once in real life (and have the pictures to prove it)! And yes, he’s pretty much as cool in real life as he seems on TV and on his podcast. Totally the geekiest girl in the world right now, I know.

Move like a shake weight, move it like a shake weight…
