breakups
When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
Why the First Time Should Always Be the Last Time
We met through a mutual friend, Mr. C is what I will call him for the purpose of this article, actually my best friend was a friend of his mothers. Both ladies were older than me of course. My first impression of him wasn’t a good one. Possibly because of the stories his mother told. I heard about his financial dependency on her even after he was 30, I heard about the expensive life style he lived without a job, and I heard about the image he attempted to portray to others. So, when I first met him in person I wasn’t that impressed. I felt he was arrogant and spoiled. I didn’t give off any negative vibes or remarks but I also showed very little interest in him. I remember feeling a little zap that I found unnerving when I first walked in to his mothers restaurant and saw him standing in the kitchen. I can’t really explain what exactly it felt like but it was an obvious internal jolt. I frequented the restaurant with my girlfriend and as a result I got to know and became great friends with his mother. It was a very good time in my life.

How I Got Over My Breakup
It was really hard in the beginning. I didn’t have a respectful type of breakup where we both spoke honestly. I was cheated on, and I still don’t even know how long it was going on. It was unexpected. It felt like a nightmare and I would wake up, or that it was the end of the world.

When to Walk Away From a Relationship
I'm all for fighting for a relationship but the relationship has to be one to fight for. It has to be healthy and benefit both partners. I'm the queen of staying longer than I should. The people in the relationship also has to be getting something out of the relationship. So how do you know that you need to leave? Let's dive in!

It's Not Over
You feel alone... The worst part of being dumped is always the intense feeling of loneliness that goes alongside of it. Heartbreak has always been a feeling powerful enough to drive people to do ridiculous things, from the battle of troy in Greek mythology to the horrifying stabbing at Coral Gables Senior High in 2009. The reality of how powerful a broken heart can be, has made echos throughout the entire history of mankind. We find ourselves, under these circumstances, behaving differently then we normally would. Doing things we would not normally ever do, usually quick with little or no thinking involved. Love can indeed make you crazy...

A Couple Things I Learned While on a Camping Trip with My Ex
The Breakup Backstory To start off, I will tell you why we broke up. This helps to set up the whole camping experience. (I’m going to call him Tate for easy reference.) So Tate and I had not really dated for all that long. We were only together for about two and a half months or so. Before we were dating we were really good friends—you would not really see one of us with out the other. After we got together this was still the case. We seemed to be really happy, then all of a sudden that changed.

A Story of a Quiet Queer
Let's hope that the more personal I get with the world, the closer I will feel with coming to terms with my sexuality. Being the Outcast is not foreign to me. When I was growing up I felt safe alone. Writing stories, songs, poems, and singing to myself. Being among people for recreation was a source of anxiety that is unspeakable. When you create your own life in your head you become your own best friend. But, in my case, I did not treat myself like a friend, more like an intimidating stranger.

Things to Say & Ask Before a Breakup
This is the kind of article that, frankly, we wish everyone would read. We say that because, although we can’t think of one person who looks forward to going through a breakup, our personal experiences have taught us that breakups are hard because of how they are done. Breaking up with someone isn't easy, but they are normal. Normally though, they are usually done poorly because the person doing the breaking didn’t think about what to say—or ask—beforehand.

She Woke Up Different
We often wonder how far we can be pushed or what our limits are...You think you've hit the bottom, but have you really? It could always be worse. What if what you've feared would happen has now become a reality. You talked about, said it wasn't so. Then, it is, very much so true. It happened. You've been cheated on. It happened. That's all you can think. It. Really. Happened.
