1.
Don’t make any harsh decisions or sign anything for two weeks.
It’s impossible to act clearly. Plus, you could lose more than
just your mate.
2. Move out of the bedroom to the couch or guestroom
or have your ex do it. The time to stop yearning for his or her warm
body
is now.
3. Immediately stop sharing food, clothing, meals, showers
and intimate moments together.
4. Being mad is normal, even healthy,
so for a while avoid each other as much as possible, which leads to
number five.
5. Avoid arguing at all costs. Say as little as possible
for now. It’s
not about who’s right or wrong, it’s about getting
through the next couple of weeks.
6. Send your live-in ex away
for a few days to a week. According to Delphine Hirsh’s
book, “A Girl’s Guide To Surviving A Break Up,” “When
someone you live with wants to break up send them away for
a bit!” Then
go to number seven.
7. Immediately start spending time with
people who love you, talking about your feelings and oversleeping.
This will help
ground you.
8. Protect your home by telling your ex not to
bring in any future dates or mates. You may feel like your home is
all you have left
so protect it.
9. Do all of the above!
10. Lastly, you may want to move out (with lots
of help from friends), move your ex out (with no help from you)
or stay
living together
(with even more help from God), which means setting
up lots of new boundaries!
