    Not so fast here. Self-blame is never good or healthy. If an ex is actually kind and honest enough to give you some constructive criticism, that's one thing. But this rarely happens. It usually boils down to the central idea of misplaced priorities, of making someone too big a part of your life too soon. Let's face it ; no ex is ever going to tell someone "you made me too big a part of your life too soon. I never had to pursue you, you weren't enough of a challenge for me. You were too much of a wuss ; too much of a 'nice guy.'" The remedy for that isn't a lot of self-blame but simly a rearranging of one's priorities, often coupled with a boost to one's self-esteem.

    I think that even whether you had were at fault there is still reason for reflection and analysis. Its how we learn and grow!!

    This is great. I hope lots of young people see this. When it happens to them they often think it's the end of the world. All they need are some guidelines and here they are. Great work, wontbez!

    It would be a good idea to ask that question in a new post. You will get way more answers than just asking it here.

    The best way to get over someone is to get under someone else. Put a number between you and your ex and they soon get forgotten

    A number means a person. So if you have been going out with someone, you break up and are not going to get back with them. Sleep with someone else and then the person you had the relationship with is not the last person you sleep with, so it puts a distance between you and them. It's a mental thing, it works for me, but is not for everyone.

    It's a mental mess that just digs a deeper hole... it really doesn't help anything if your prior relationship was more than sex and more emotional. I don't see how this solves anything... but whatever floats your boat... Sex has never been the solution to any problem if I can recall.

    Any good post-break up song recommendations for running or for listening to when I'm feeling down? I'm thinking cheesy independence anthems like Journey "Don't Stop Believing" and Natasha Bedingfield "Unwritten."

    Themes being positivity, independence, freedom, etc.

    Found a new one recently (older song actually)...


    Don't tell me what to think.
    Cause I don't care this time.
    Don't tell me what you believe,
    Cause you wont be there
    To catch me when I fall.
    But you'll need me
    when I'm not here at all.
    ....
    Don't tell me how life is,
    Cause I don't really wanna know.
    Don't tell me how this game ends,
    Cause we'll just see how it goes.
