Trying Not To Badmouth an Ex
Many of us want to go around and tell the world about what an ass our ex is. Some women have even gone so far as to creating web pages that badmouth their exes and warn others not to date that person.
But how does that really make us look? Bitter and jealous, that’s what. Whether it was a mutual breakup or a horribly hideous one, there’s no reason to go around spreading gossip about what happened. For one, you’ll most likely drone on and on about it and your friends will start to get sick of it, and you’ll be labeled the one they don’t want to talk to because you can’t get over it.
Also, you won’t be able to move on this way. Sure, let it out for a day or two, or even a week. But after that, you’re really just repeating yourself. No one likes a complainer, so once you let it out for the first few times, let it go.
Moping on and on about it won’t open you up to finding someone new. Talking about what a bastard your ex is won’t really be attractive to someone you could potentially date. They will just label you as a bitter woman and move on to someone more fun and exciting.
I admit, I’ve had my moments where all I talk about is one thing, but I’m also a good listener and have listened to people talk and talk and talk about their exes for a long time and I can tell you, it makes me not want to be anywhere near them. So what I usually do is start avoiding their calls. Don’t be the friend that no one wants to talk to anymore.
