Breaking Up is Highly Emotional - Don"t Do Something You"ll Regret Later!
The initial shock of getting dumped can send the best of us into an emotional tailspin.
While we're in this state of panic, we are forced to rely on our instincts rather than common sense.
The result can often be devastating for both parties.
What might seem like perfectly reasonable behaviour now, often leads to something that we'll wind up regretting immensely down the road.
Here are some of the most common knee-jerk reactions: Begging - This one is actually painful to watch.
When a person is reduced to actually begging their ex to take them back, they've lost all self-respect.
Why anyone would think this is a good idea is beyond me.
Apologizing - This is another desperate attempt to convince them to take you back.
It's not quite as bad as begging, but it still has a ring of desperation to it.
Non-stop phoning and text messaging - For a person that is in a highly emotional state, the need to communicate with their ex can be overpowering.
This is the most common mistake people make immediately following a break-up.
Drinking - while it's your own business if you want to get drunk to get your mind off the relationship, it's something else, entirely, to contact your ex in this state and profess your love for them.
If you think things are bad when you're sober, you ain't seen nothing yet! Stalking - Some people simply need to know where their ex is and who they're with.
The idea that the person they love is now with someone else can drive one to extreme measures.
The need to know what is going on over-powers every rational thought he/she has.
If (when) they get caught, the after-effects can be catastrophic.
There is no worse feeling than finally coming to your senses and realizing the damage (not to mention the embarrassment) you've caused in the days following the break-up.
Many people find they can't recover from this.
