Most people, not just women, pretend that everything is fine after breaking up with their partner. They want others to think that they have never felt better, but in this way they are only delaying the inevitable - the pain of a breakup needs to be overcome.

It's never easy to end a relationship, especially if there's still love and desire on your part to continue.

The first days are the hardest, and most women often, in their desire to forget about the breakup, do things that only make this painful experience even more difficult for them.

In order to avoid deepening your pain, rather find ways to overcome and get over the breakup in a healthy way, and if you want to succeed in this, do not do these 5 things!

1. Don't pretend everything is fine

Many women say that everything is perfectly fine just one day after a breakup, even though they are broken inside. It is about deceiving oneself and putting off the inevitable. Nothing will go away if you pretend that you feel good, that you don't care, and that the breakup hasn't hurt you.

Everything will reach you, with only a small delay. It is always better to express your pain immediately. So if you feel like crying, cry. You do what you like and what makes you feel better, but don't lie to yourself. Don't hide the pain.

2. Don't try to be his friend

This can happen, but after a certain time. Not at the very beginning, because that kind of friendship can't work. Why? Because everything is fresh, especially for that side that was abandoned. Friendship after a breakup is usually just an attempt to restore the relationship, which usually fails.

3. Don't follow him

This applies to places you know he frequents as well as social networks. Instead of dealing with him, deal with yourself – his smiling Instagram photo will only add to the pain you feel.

4. Don't sleep with him

Follow this rule strictly after the breakup. You will probably want the relationship to continue and imagine that re-intimacy will bring him back to you. It won't. He might sleep with you, just for one thing, not to continue the relationship. Respect each other.

5. Do not make radical changes in appearance

Don't rush to get a tattoo or drastically change your hairstyle. If you still want change, wait a while to calm your mind. Plus, no amount of changes in your appearance will bring him back. You will only be sorry for all the thoughtless changes.
