Dealing With An Online Breakup

Healing your heart with time and love…

Alas, not every online love relationship will make it through as a success story. An online breakup can seem even more empty and alone than breaking off a traditional relationship. Thoughts of self-doubt, wasted time and more can overflow your mind. If you find yourself trying to handle an online breakup use the following tips to help heal and move on.

* Quit using the chat or place where you often communicated for a while.

* Become more active outside of the computer. Chances are while you were together you spent entirely too much time inside. Get outdoors and visit some old friends.

* Develop a new Internet hobby or interest such as playing games, learning how to make web pages, or researching your family tree.

* Figure out what you want to do about finding a new love. Sign up to an Internet personals service or start chatting with old friends you haven’t talked to in a while.

* Remove all reminders of your Internet love including pictures, letters and other memorabilia. You don’t need to throw it away; just remove it so you can’t see them for a while.

* Start a daily journal to release all of your feelings. Chances are you may not be comfortable talking with other people about your online relationship. This is an excellent way to make sure things don’t get bottled up and cause issues in future relationships.
