Picking the scab on August 24, 1998…
Dear Breakup Girl,
My boyfriend of nearly 6 years broke up with me [nine months ago]…it was hard, but I’ve made good progress in putting my life back together. Except I found out a couple of days ago that he has a new serious girlfriend (they went to Antigua together). Now I can’t stop thinking about our breakup…this little bit of information has re-opened the whole emotional wound that had been healing. Do I just wait it out, knowing (somewhere in my logical brain) that the hurt will fade? I had been surfing through one of the personals sites linked to this site, but now I feel like maybe I’m not ready to meet someone new. Help!

Dear K,
Antigua!? Of course you’re smarting. Which does NOT mean that you’re not healing. Surf on, dude.
Love,
Breakup Girl
Honey..ceer up! I just found out that my ex. (we had a 7 years relationship and we broke up 2 months ago), has a new girlfriend and they are planning to get married.. Guess what?! I don’t care!! :))
