Relationships are lovely. You love each other, you are there for the other person at all times, and you make promises to stay together forever. However, for some unlucky people forever is very short-lived and they end up getting their heart brutally broken.

So you broke up with your partner, what should you do? Should you call them every few days to see how they are? NO. HELL NO. Because being in touch will never let you move on.

If you are someone who's actually looking for a clean break from their ex, here are five things you can do.

Stop Going To Their Social Media Profiles
If you keep typing their name in the Facebook search box, STOP! The first thing you should do immediately after the breakup is remove them from your friend list and block. Trust us, nothing good will ever come out of reading their posts or knowing what's going on in their lives.
 
If you think blocking your ex is too much for you because you're "trying"  to be friends, then this is the right opportunity to practice self control. Force yourself to never click on their profile. Just make sure you never get notifications regarding their status updates!
 
Inform Your Friends About Your Breakup And Ask Them To Never Take Your Ex's Name In Front Of You
If you keep hearing their name on a daily basis, chances are that you will find it difficult to actually get over them. Remember out of sight, out of mind? That actually works!
 
Let your friend circle know that you guys are no longer together, and this is a firm decision. Ask them to not play cupid or try to resolve issues, or discuss what all went wrong...blah, blah, blah. If you and your ex have common friends, stay away from those people right after the breakup, it will help further.

Return All The Shirts That Borrowed From Them
Ladies, we all know how trendy boyfriend clothes are. However, being fashionable all the time shouldn't cost you your sanity. Return their clothes or anything that might belong to you ex, think of it as a cleanse--emotional cleanse.
 
If Your Ex Is A Co-worker, Think Of Taking a Transfer
Dating a co-worker is always a tricky business. Not only will it f*ck with your head after the breakup because of the probability of bumping into them, but it can also make you long for them.

To avoid any emotional outburst in front of them, make sure you take a transfer. It can be as simple as changing the floors in the office. It is not as extreme  as it sounds.
 
When You Start Dating Again, Do Not Go All Out To Make Sure Your Ex Knows About it
No matter how hard the breakup was, no matter how much you were in love with your ex, with time you will definitely start dating someone new. However, when you do that, make sure you do not go out of your way to inform your ex about your dating life.

Even if invoking jealousy is what you have in your mind, try to keep things private. Certainly it's OK to change your relationship status. But instead of posting, "Whenever we kiss I see fireworks," and, "This relationship makes all of my other relationships look like dog food," try more general terms: "We are having lots of fun together," or, "I am very happy in my new relationship."
