It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken

288 pages, 2006

Takeaways
Description
There is no denying the fact that breakups stink. In the first few hours or days or weeks that follow, there is one important truth you need to recognize: some things cannot and should not be fixed—especially that loser who dumped you or forced you to dump him. Your next move? Open this book to Chapter One—and start turning your breakup into a break-over. The ultimate survival guide to getting over Mr. Wrong and reclaiming your inner Super fox, from how to put yourself through “he-tox,” to how to throw yourself a kick-ass pity party; and reframing reality—seeing the relationship for what it was.
Embrace the Breakup

Greg Behrendt emphasizes that breakups are not the end of the world. Instead, they are a chance for you to grow and learn. It's called a breakup because it's broken, and it's time to move on and find something better.

Self-Care is Essential

After a breakup, it's easy to neglect yourself. But Behrendt insists that self-care is crucial during this time. Take care of your physical and mental health, and remember to love yourself first.

No Contact Rule

Behrendt suggests a 'no contact' rule after a breakup. This means no calls, texts, or social media stalking. It's a tough rule to follow, but it helps you to heal and move on faster.

Rebound Relationships

Jumping into a new relationship right after a breakup is not the best idea, according to Behrendt. He advises taking time to heal and understand what went wrong in the previous relationship before starting a new one.

Future Love

Behrendt encourages readers to stay optimistic about future love. Just because one relationship didn't work out, doesn't mean the next one won't. Keep an open heart and mind, and you'll find love again.
