As all you may have experienced in some point of your adult life, or young adult life it is heart break. Having your heart broken by someone you loved and trusted they shared the same feeling could be utterly devastating. Unfortunately, life is hard and filled with galore of heartbreak if nothing more. If you truly loved your ex-boyfriend or girlfriend you might be feeling crippled with pain and it’s hard to breathe, think or do anything for that matter, but that too, shall pass. It does. It just really does, because if you don’t die from it which most likely you won’t, life will go on and you will go on just as well.

Here are some 4 Ways of Getting Over Your Ex:

• - You Need to Get Out! ( It may sound cliche, but it’s not)
  

I sure hope you have some good friends that can drag you out of your slump, because this will be helpful. If you don’t, you need to pick yourself up and get out. Get out and get drunk and talk to people. It doesn’t matter if you make a fool out of yourself, if your dressed ugly, if you’re belligerent and emotional. Diving into a depression for a couple of days could be healthy, sometimes you just need to soak up all the pain, but if it goes beyond a week, you need to get out one way or another.

• - Talk to People.

Whether it’s a good friend, parent, or even old flame. You need to vomit your pain out verbally. Getting feedback and hearing other people’s heart break stories will make you feel a bit more rational. Perhaps, at the moment you feel you’re the only one who’s ever gone through so much heartache. Well, you’re not and many more after you will follow. It’s like a passage of life. It sucks but at the end, hopefully you’ll come out a wiser person.

• - Cry.

Crying is as good as talking. Just make sure you go on your crying fest after you’ve managed to get out of bed and out of the house. When you come back, you cry your ass off. This is just as good as talking. I personally, see it as another form of vomiting. You need to get it out to feel better. Get it out- “Cry me a river” but be sure you’re not isolating yourself from the world by drowning yourself in your river. You need to stay connected. Broken hearts can lead to clinical depression which is very serious.

• - Have Sex/Fling.

You may not realize this, but sometimes when you’re heart broken, simultaneously you’re hormones are raging. You need to be touched, kissed and caressed and you need sex! This doesn’t mean it’s going to cure your shattered heart, but it will help. Don’t go to bed with just anyone, you have to at least like them in a friendly level, if not all will go to vain. As I said before, get out there, men love vulnerable women. If you sleep with someone at this stage of the game, you’re not going to get your heart broken again. It’s a fling…You might even end up breaking someone’s heart, unintentionally.

If you’re trying to get over your ex and having a difficult and painful time, the things stated above are surely to help- not cure but help. You need some kind of outage of your pain and it’s only fair that you give yourself this much. Most likely you’ve been through a lot and still going through it. People can advise you and extend a hand, a hug and more but if you don’t put in your part, it’s not going to help. You owe it to yourself, don’t drown in sorrow and shut the world out. Instead welcome new people in and open up your heart. “Something’s got to give…”

Are you planning a divorce and don’t know when the best time to follow through with your plan? Well, every person’s situation is different and some people need to divorce as soon as possible while others can wait for the correct timing. Most people worry about how they are going to survive financially during and after the divorce is final. This could be extremely scary due to how the economy is still recovering financially itself. Here is a list of The Best Times Financially To Get A Divorce:

1. Good to Excellent Credit Score. You will need to have a good credit especially after a divorce so that you can either apply for a loan to help you get started with your new life, purchase a vehicle, or rent an apartment or house.

2. Minimal Debt. Make sure to pay off your debt. If you have joint debts try to pay those off too before the split. Usually when a couple divorces with joint debts one person doesn’t feel that they are responsible nor will they pay the debt. Don’t be stuck with a high debt because of your ex.

3. Seller’s market in Real Estate. Try to make the most money possible for the home that you will be selling (If you both agree that none will stay with the house). Selling the home when it is a seller’s market will ensure that the both of you are less likely to pay any difference in the home loan.

4. Before receiving an inheritance. If you know that you will be receiving a large lump sum of money from a relative or some type of trust fund that was set up for you; you should divorce before receiving the money. Your soon to be ex will have the rights to that money if they decide to pursue and take half; in most states due to it being the law.

5. When the kids are in high school. You might be wondering how this helps financially well till the child or children turn 18 years old; one parent will be responsible to pay child support. In most cases it is the father who will have to pay a lump sum every month till the child becomes of age. If you wait till the child is in high school, then you will only have to pay for 4 years opposed to 10 plus years (depending the age of your child).

In all honesty for most people there is never a good time to get a divorce. In other cases it is necessary to get a divorce because the marriage is unhealthy, abusive etc. Most if not all states offer a Self-Help Program for those who do not have the means to hire a divorce attorney, and the cost of the divorce through this program is extremely affordable. They will assist you in getting the divorce process moving along. Now that you may be divorce soon you may want to learn ways to not think about your ex. Here are 3 Ways To Forget About Your Ex.

It’s never easy having to except and realize that the one you love or want doesn’t feel the same way about you. We usually will put all our effort into trying to convince them that we need to be together. We will also sit there racking our brains trying to figure out what is wrong with us that they don’t feel the same for us as we do for them.

The first step in trying to get over someone is realizing that there is nothing wrong with us. Just cause they are unable to appreciate all our value and worth doesn’t mean that we don’t have any. People are all different and looking for different things out of a relationship. Chances are if the one you are seeking after isn’t seeking you, you are way better off by leaving them alone and moving on.

Build yourself up! The more you love and appreciate yourself the easier it is for others to be able to love and appreciate you. We must first be able to see and do things for ourselves before we can worry about others. The better we are as individuals the better we are in a relationship. We have to learn to straighten out and organize ourselves as individuals before we can even think about trying to fix things as a couple or part of a relationship.

Surround yourself with friends and family that truly care and love you. By keeping yourself busy it will give you less time to focus on the hurt from the rejection. Plus by being around those who love us we are encouraged that reminded that there is nothing wrong with us. Go out have and have fun. Don’t allow yourself to drown in misery over the rejection. Get back out there in the dating world to see all the possibilities that lie ahead. Remember when one door closes it’s merely so a new door can be opened for us. Don’t get so stuck on starring at the closed door that you are unable to see the ones that have been opened for you.

Have you ever had a talk with your man and he doesn’t seem to be paying attention at all to you? Well, there is a few times where something else has totally distracted him from what you are trying to say. There is no reason why you should get upset or frustrated at him. Instead learn about the moments when your man’s mind might seem to be in left field.

3 Moments When A Man Doesn’t Listen:

1. He is watching a car, women in bikini, or beer commercial.

2. Once he is hot and bothered right before sex.

3. 30 minutes after he gets home from work. His brain shuts down and unwinds from the stressful day.

Knowing these moments can really be a stress reliever because you now know when he will be giving you his full attention when you have something to talk to him about. Good luck ladies!

People often have trouble in the dating world and often give up on dating all together. Or even worst they just settle for whomever is descent for them at the time. They can’t seem to find a suitable partner or they do, but later find out the person whom they are dating is actually married. These surprises can certainly harm ones self-esteem. There are many ways that you can improve your dating life, but you have to first improve yourself.

4 Steps To Improve Your Dating Life:

1. Take Responsibility: Once you are able to take responsibility for your own actions the better your life will be in general. Everyone has flaws but admitting to it and working on it will do you and your potential dating partner much needed justice. Self-awareness is the first step to self-development.

2. Have A Objective Mentor: Having a person who can objectively give you relationship advice will improve your self-awareness to unhealthy dating and relationships. You must be extremely picky in who you select this person to be. They can be of the same sex or opposite as long as they can share your values, speak to you objectively, and know what a healthy relationship consists of.

3. Make New Friends: Making new friends when we get older is a lot harder from when were younger. When we get older our circle of friends tends to get smaller, and usually through friends is where we meet potential dating partners. Thus having a very small group of friends can potentially hurt your dating life. Instead of canceling on a work dinner party or your kid’s soccer meeting, attend these types of invites and begin friendships with these people. You never know what may come of it.

4. Drop Negative Friends: As we get older it is time to let go of those who just have a negative outlook on life, relationships, and careers. These are the type of people who are not going to help you move forward. Instead, they will bring negativity and self doubt into your life. If this is something that you have to do every year then do it. Surrounding yourself with positive people will bring you positive opportunities.

With these steps you will be able to improve your dating life, but more importantly improve your life and well being. Good Luck!
