Regardless of who dumps whom, handling a breakup is never easy. One could start obsessing over one’s ex! While there are some who choose to snap out of that phase and move on with their lives, some of us…need a little time! We bring you 12 things most of us end up doing after a breakup – we’re fairly certain you’ve done a few of these yourself!
1. Stalk Him On Social Media
Well, since we aren’t talking to him all the time any longer, we can at least keep up with what’s happening in his life! Hey, it’s just information-gathering – we miss him after all. (It’s quite normal, really. Just don’t do it EVERY single day, hour or minute!)
