6 Productive ways to overcome your ex-partner with wisdom, according to relationship experts

Not everyone is prepared to let go so easily to that person to whom we entrusted our entire existence and gave him our time. And even if you think that the day may come when you do it, you need a boost that makes you feel sure that sooner or later you will get it. It is not simple, but it is not impossible.These are some expert tips on the subject, which will make you overcome this terrible stage and turn it into a life lesson.
1. Cut the communication completelyMaybe you think that they will be good friends in the future and that they will soon overcome everything they bring along, but according to Raved Youssef, founder of Love Life TBD, this is a huge lie. Keeping in touch with your ex means that you keep hoping that one day things will be solved and they will be together again. So the best thing is to completely eliminate it from your social networks and erase forever any idea that you can be together again.
2. Go to therapyIf you think that it is an impossible task and that you cannot achieve it alone, resort to the help of a professional. Lauren Brim, guru on issues of sex and author of The New Rules of Sex (The New Rules of sex ), says that if you are unable to get an appointment with an expert, it is best to take action on the matter and put on to do what you like or distract, even paint or learn to play a musical instrument would be a good therapy, to talk with your friends that how to get over someone as much as you can, they will always have time to listen to you.
3. Forget the good, remember the badThere is a huge reason why they decided to end the relationship, so keep that thought in mind whenever you want to look for it or call it. A good tip from Amy Levine, guide and sex expert and founder of Ignite Your Pleasure, is to make a list of the other person's negative things and put it near your phone or make a screenshot to not be tempted to send a message, and read it every time you feel the need to see it.
4. Make the decision and do itIf you have proposed to forget your ex, then it is not a good idea to spend the rest of the day in bed crying for what will no longer be, the best thing is that you dedicate yourself, to carry out all those dreams that were left in pause to keep the relationship afloat. It's time to dedicate time to you and your goals. This is what Youssef says:
It is important to take care of yourself, to live your life to the fullest and with a purpose. Do something that is important to you, something that you are passionate about and love. Something that makes you feel good with you, not just for the moment, but forever.
5. Have funWe've all been through a moment like that, you know you've lost hope, but what's the point of so much drama? The best thing to get ahead is not to self-pity or become a victim. Leave home, have fun with your friends, let them make plans and include you, go out to dinner, to dance, take classes of something. Do not sit down to see how your life is spent waiting for him to return. In addition, experts say that, even if you do not believe it, starting dating again can help you a lot.
Knowing that you are desirable to another person in a new date or meeting a new lover can make you miss your former partner, but it can also give you a new vision of yourself and your previous relationship, which is what helps you feel liberated. And we all want to feel free of pain.
6. If you want it, go out with someone immediatelyThis advice is not for everyone and it does not always work, but experts say that dating someone shortly after a breakup can help a lot. Studies show that rebound relationships have positive effects and can be healthy in the long term; because they help you forget your ex and also give you confidence and happiness. This is what Brim says about it:
When we share with someone new the feelings we have, it can help to alleviate and have new perspectives as they begin to grow love, pleasure or connection that exists far from our ex.
Whatever you think can help you, try it, remember that everything is in you and you cannot turn back time, but you can always move forward and create a new life. Remember that the most important thing is your happiness.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
