The 'ollowers

So I found a new blog that I love, http://undertheundies.blogspot.com. This chick seems to be coming from a very familiar place, a place I left not too long ago and am in no rush to get back to. On one of her recent posts she talked about the different ways us ladies usually handle a big breakup. I found it so true that I wanted to share it with you and see where everyone thinks they stand or stood during that gut wrentching death of a relationship:

“Then again, what are the ways of a breakup anyway?

Some wallow over lost love. They cheer it takes half the time you were together to truly get over him. You analyze what went wrong, what you've learned, and how you'll know better. You cry and miss and hate him until you're over it and ready to audition someone new.

And there's the swallowers (though I'm sure some spit). She says the best way to get over someone is to find someone new. One night stands, shameless flirting, and flings fill the voids. Not to say she doesn't learn, but neither does she let that stop her from finding someone else.

Then there are the followers that never really give up. They believe it could be worked out because they're problems are only situational. They may even recycle a couple times or stay friends. But the fear of letting go and regret, coupled with their fondness for each other keeps them holding on.”

Personally, I think I move through each of the the three during a breakup – did I mention I hate breakups, they seem as bad as a death sometimes.
