How to Get over Your Ex

Cheating Scandal

Now I understand fully the terms “forgive and forget” or “give 'em a chance” or “it happens, it’s life.” Blah blah blah, yes, we get it, but if it continues multiple times, especially if they have a history of being unfaithful, then he/she got to go.

Just like Khloe Kardashian finally kicking that ass beat Tristan Thompson to the curb for messing around with her sister's best friend, Jordan Woods, she shouldn’t have given him a chance in the first place since it was all over social media confirming his cheating scandals and he has a history of cheating on pregnant girlfriends (he left his previous wife for Khloe when she was pregnant) which means history could repeat itself when it comes to Tristan Thompson.

I can totally relate to those of you have been in situations like this ‘unfaithful partners’ because I’ve been through it all. Here’s a little sneak peek of my worse relationship ever, but I’ll save that for another time, the reason I’m here is to give you advice on how to get over your ex. So continue to read along and let me know if that worked for you, because it sure as hell did for me.

1. Block their ass.

This is pretty much the first you got to push yourself to do, which can be hard sometimes because you could be thinking about all the good times you’ve had together or whether you’ll be able to find someone that will love you just how you’ve loved your ex. It is going to be tough, but you got to do it.

I’d suggest blocking his number from your contacts list, block on all social media that you currently use like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr Snapchat, or even LinkedIn.

2. Destroy all memories.

Make sure to get rid of things that they bought for you or anything that has a connection story of your relationship, this can be:

  • - Plush toys your ex bought
  • - Jewelry (or you can sell it to get your money’s worth)
  • - Pictures/art
  • - Music tracks that remind you of them
  • - Sheets or blankets (if you want to be dramatic)

3. Surround yourself with positive supportive people.

This definitely will help with the process, they’ll be supportive in your decisions, they won’t mention anything about your ex, and they enjoy your presence.

Make sure you get friends or family who don’t tell you “get over it” or “she’s your sister, forgive her” or “you need to forget them.” People like this are idiots because they’re not considering your feelings they’re only thinking about themselves.

You want people who talk about what to do, upcoming events, life in general who enjoy being single and who can offer encouragement with big or small to keep your mind off memory lane.

4. Create a buck list and budget.

Think of things you would love to do that you couldn’t before because your partner or someone held you back. Make sure to create a budget so you know if you have enough for activities on your list or whether you can save more so you can complete your list.

5. Stay strong and confident.

There will come a time where you’ll think about what you could’ve done things differently in your relationship or whether your worth anyone’s time and let me tell you now—“you are beautiful and worth everyone’s time.”

Also, tell yourself, “I’ve come this far so I’m going live my best life.”

Never show that you’re miserable or weak. Always go all out ‘Beyonce’ style quote “how you gonna upgrade me? What's higher than number one?” You're totally worth it, so strut your stuff.

That’s all for today, y’all, until we meet again.
