Summer morning in Klafthmonos and in the meeting we had at the office - somewhere between the iced coffee and the warm tsoureka - I thought we'd ask our friends about how they felt when they broke up, how they dealt with the end of their relationship and how their experience can help you who are now going through your own breakup.

OR Mary She remembered that during her first breakup, she cried from morning until night, trying to understand why she broke up. Over time, she stopped worrying about this issue and moved on with her life, regretting the time she wasted dwelling on it.
THE George He confided in me that he has cried a lot for his ex and has gone to Yiannis Ploutarchos to get the pain out of him - I sympathize with Giorgakis and I run to Ploutarchos whether I am divorced or engaged.
OR Helen She believes that the biggest mistake of her life was the relationship she had with her ex, as he didn't treat her well and she was unhappy. The breakup was essentially a redemption for her (even though she didn't realize it while she was in the relationship).
THE Orestes Again, he believes that breaking up with his ex made him mature and saw things with different eyes (helping him to better deal with your next relationship).
OR Gianna It hurt a lot, but he did the right thing when he broke up and explains that if glass breaks, it's hard to stick together again. Don't try it if you don't really want to (not out of stubbornness!) because all you'll achieve is to hurt yourself.
THE Costas He still has anger inside him with his ex, because he believes that in a relationship, both parties are to blame, not just one. He needs his time...
So, I'll tell you how I felt and how I dealt with my breakup:
At first I struggled a lot, I got depressed and thought I didn't deserve anything better. Of course one day I just woke up and saw that life is too short to be sad and I got back on my feet.
I understand that your breakup may be painful, but you don't have to paint it black. Live it as an experience, yes, cry, stay up all night, and make your friends dizzy by saying the same thing over and over again, but in the back of your mind, always have "the next day." It will be full of joy, love, and beautiful moments. And the sooner you get over your breakup, the sooner you will live it.
PS: Smile because you deserve it, and of course, because a breakup needs its chocolates, I highly recommend a box full of different flavors.
