Following the devastating news that your ex is happy to carry on their life without you, it’s important to let them see that you have moved on.
The first rule of ‘get over it’ club is to stop liking every thing they post on social media. It’s a little bit stalkerish. Speaking of stalking, stop finding excuses to drive past their place in the hope of spotting them. The moment they see you go past your self respect will evaporate. If you are determined to go past their place use a bus, but only if you are certain they won’t be on it. If you aren’t certain or no buses go past their house use a taxi.
New social life
The temptation to drag your old besties out for club nights to get lots of photos of you having a great time to put on Instagram is the obvious go-to. Be warned, unless your besties are also suggesting it then they are just going along to be polite, but will soon find they have other things they need to do those nights.
Music
Many of the shared experiences you had with your ex probably revolved around songs you enjoyed together and that came to embody special moments and memories. Nothing says ‘I have moved on’ more than signalling that you are into new artists and styles of music. Embrace jazz music. The more obscure and bizarre the better. No one actually likes jazz music so when you go to see that obscure performer you’ll be surrounded by lots of others who are hating it but want people to know they have moved on. Post it!
Clothes
All those tops and jackets that your ex helped you to pick – never been seen in them again. Go for a completely different look and make sure to put photos on social media. Retro and used clothes can be a good way to restyle without breaking your bank account.
Do new things
Nothing screams ‘I have moved on’ more than taking on new hobbies and interests. Now is the time to take up paragliding, rock climbing, or Morris Dancing. Anything desperately different to anything you ever did before is good.
Make sure to post all on Instagram so that your ex can see how desperately you have moved on and how much you want them to know you have changed.
