Cupid’s Advice:

Ending a relationship is hard, particularly when you have been together for a very long time. Here are a few ways to cope with your break up.

1.  Get out of the house: When you break up with someone, one of the worst things you can do is sit at home and wallow. Call up your friends and have a night out. Leave your worries at the door and let loose.

2. Take care of yourself: After a relationship has ended, it is easy to fall into a pit of sadness and depression. Instead, take some time to pamper yourself by going to a spa, taking a relaxing day off work, or trying a yoga class. Anything to make you feel special and more relaxed.
