Great book by Greg Behrendt & his wife: It's Called a Breakup Because it's Broken.
Have any of you read this book? What were your thoughts???
I read it when a friend suggested it to me shortly after my ex and I broke up (the first time)...I fell in love with it. It is such a good read, and very funny. It takes the 'hurt' out of a breakup - whether you are the dumper or the dumpee. After I borrowed it from the library, I went out and bought it. One of the best suggestions is a "60 Day Hetox" - where you have 60 days (yes, 2 whole months) of NO contact. No calling, no emailing, no showing up unexpectedly, no driving by, NOTHING. I made it 45 days.
Of course, now I am re-reading it as my ex and I have been playing this awful game of 'are we going to work this out or not'...I broke it off last Thursday and now I'm starting to wonder if I did the right thing. I'm hoping that by re-reading the book, I'll pull my head out of my arse and realize that IT IS CALLED A BREAKUP BECAUSE IT IS BROKEN!!!
