Answer 2

You don't bounce back...you walk ahead one step at a time. And this time if you find yourself in a bad relationship you won't waste 8 years of your life trying to make something fit that just doesn't...take the lessons learned and move on...invest time , energy & money into yourself. be the best you, you can be and sooner or later when you least expect it..some great guy is gonna come along and say who's that? meaning you !!! WONDERFUL, MATURE YOU who doesn't cry over spilled milk and certainly doesn't stay stuck in the past by rewinding the 8 year terrible realtionship that is OVER. Move on with your head held high. And don't ever "just" settle....

Answer 3

You gotta take time out do things you want to do like go shopping and stay as long as you want. I was in a relationship for 7 years had 2 beautiful girls and the son of ***** left me for my so called best friend. I hated men for along time I wasn't looking and after about 9 years here came my husband now. And I love him more than I ever did the son of *****. Just give it time hun. You can get hyoatised how ever you spell that good luck

Answer 4

Stay busy.... As long as you're busy, you won't be thinking about the relationship and you won't be tempted to call the person when you're feeling lonely or vulnerable to start it all over again. Put away all pictures of the person. Out of sight - out of mind. Don't be in contact with them in any way (if possible). Have a strict 'no contact' rule, and be sure you adhere to it. Lean on your friends and family for support while you're healing. Maybe join a support group. Go out and meet some new friends. A busy, active social life will help you get your mind off your ex. Best of luck! :)

Answer 7

Get interested in YOU. Stop dwelling on 8 wasted years and pursue everything you couldn't because you were tethered to someone else. Eat what they didn't like to eat, travel, start hobbies, volunteer at charities, get a second job...

Take your mind off of the ex.

Friends of mine have cut off their hair, thrown out their clothes, sold furniture -- gotten rid of everything that reminded them of their ex. Paint your place a different color. Do as much as you can so that you are not constantly reminded of the ex.

Then pamper yourself. And volunteer somewhere, like tutor/teach at a school, help out at church, soup kitchen, voting place, old age home, hospital... Taking care of others really does put things in perspective.

Answer 8

You don' bounce back in a snap. It takes time to re-adjust your life. Enroll in couseling and/or a support group.

Answer 9

A nice fifth of Jack Daniels aught to get you started in the right direction (If only momentarily)....lol
