Your life was so intertwined with your partner’s life that it seems that the two of you became one. No wonder people tend to use the cliché, “A part of me is missing.”

Sob uncontrollably because Aretha Franklin has a man, while you are single again. Talk to your girlfriends and feel better. Take a shower. Sob uncontrollably in the shower. Repeat sequence.

Taylor Swift, 23, opened up the 2013 Grammy Awards with her hit song “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”. According to UsMagazine.com, she took a painful jab at her 19 year-old ex-boyfriend, Harry Styles, from the group One Direction. During her performance she added a verse to her song “So he calls me up and he’s like, ‘I still love you,’ and I’m like, ‘I’m sorry, I’m busy opening up the Grammys.’ And we’re never getting back together, like, ever.” Not only did she add this stinging verse, but she used a British accent for part of it which was obviously directed toward Styles, who is British.
