Get Benjamins For Your Bling by Selling Your Breakup Jewelry
Did you just wash that man right out of your hair? Are you simply not the sentimental type? Well, if your ex doesn't take back the jewelry he gave you (he'd have to pry it out of your cold, dead hands, right?), then you should go to Outofyourlife.com and sell them your breakup jewelry!
Website du Jour: When Love Breaks Down
"Before there were blogs, there were zines," writes the blogger behind When Love Breaks Down, a bitter but hilarious breakup blog with a twist. The breakup happened more than 10 years ago, and the blog is based on pages ripped from a zine the writer published back in 1998.
Each post features a page from the zine in all its cringe-inducing glory, complete with modern-day commentary, like this annotation on the entry above:
I really thought once you had a kid, you would grow up.
Word du Jour: Fakeup
Beware the fakeup. Though it comes in many forms, a fakeup is most easily defined as a fake breakup, or a breakup that doesn't take.
Some couples are repeat offenders — you know the people I'm talking about.
Word du Jour: Breakover
For some reason, the urge to wash that man (or woman) right out of your hair can also involve cutting or coloring your hair or getting a new shade of lipstick. Whatever it is you do, sometimes you need a breakover (breakup makeover).
Perhaps, you're declaring that you are a new person without the dead weight and splitting with your split ends symbolically represents that.
What Is the Lamest Way Someone Broke Up With You?
It sucks when someone breaks up with you, but the mode in which they do it can ease the blow and at least show you that person cared — or wasn't a total chode who wasted your time.
Alas, some people are too chicken to do it in a respectful manner, so they slip out the back, Jack, make a new plan, Stan . .
Group Therapy: How Do I Tell the New Guy That I'm Fresh Out of a Relationship?
I am newly single after dating someone for two years. He broke up with me two months ago, and while I'm sad about it, I know it was for the best. I recently met a guy who seems really nice and we have a date scheduled for next week.
Group Therapy: I Wanted to Cheat but I Couldn't
My boyfriend and I have been together for three years. I love him so much, but my love for him has changed. I am not physically attracted to him and I know that we will probably break up, but I am prolonging the inevitable.
Group Therapy: I Don't Know How to Date
I have been in two long-term relationships in the last several years, one of which ended about six months ago. When I met my last two boyfriends we just clicked immediately and started dating — there was no drama or games involved. My most recent relationship was a very hard breakup, but I am definitely to the point where I am ready to date again and move on with my life.
Group Therapy: My Boyfriend Gave Me an Ultimatum
A while ago I had an affair with a married man. He and I cut it off and are now very good friends. I lean on him for a lot.
You Asked: He Doesn't Think He's Good Enough
Dear Sugar,
After two weeks of being distant, my boyfriend of a year and a half asked me to go on a break. He told me that he loved me but he needed to do this because I deserve better and he has nothing to offer me right now. I told him I didn’t care for all of that material stuff, but it makes him feel like less of a man.
