If you happen to be in the same group and cannot avoid contact, minimize it.
See if common friends can bring you together.
Don't pretend to be indifferent.
You're hurt and have a right to show it.
Allow yourself to recoup and once you're through, never sulk again.
Distance yourself, but don't be apathetic.
The idea is to make your ex feel that he was a fool to have dumped you.
Be dignified.
Breaking up with your boyfriend is traumatic, regardless of who decided to walk out.
But life has to go on.
The solution is to be kind to yourself if your boyfriend has broken up with you; treat your boyfriend with kindness, if it's you who called it off.
If you decided to call it off, examine the reasons.
Is he possessive? Do you still love him? Examine reasons for his behavior.
Give him no room for insecurity.
Once he's certain of your love, he'll be less possessive.
Is he dominating? Talk openly about how you feel.
If his attitude doesn't change, but his intentions are innocuous, try paying back in the same coin.
If nothing works and you feel increasing uncomfortable, you needn't endure anymore.
Are you a victim of violence? Leave him immediately.
There's no hope here.
Your patience won't pay.
Are you bored? Attracted to someone else? Try giving your current relationship another chance.
Observe all the goodness of the current relationship.
If it's worth cherishing, then distance yourself from the new distraction.
If you feel more comfortable with a new friend and if it's mutual, it's wise to breakup with your old boyfriend, but not abruptly.
Drop hints.
Cut off slowly till the relationship dies a natural death.
You're bound to hurt someone else's feelings.
If your ex prefers, you could continue to remain good friends, although it's difficult.
If you're being stalked after breaking up with your boyfriend, prepare for a bit of drama.
Allow your ex to vent his anger, without violence.
If the need arises, do seek legal protection.
Don't fall for emotional blackmail, but if the person is sensitive, give more time and let the relationship cool off.
If a break-up with your boyfriend was his idea, it's time for introspection.
See if you can change yourself if it's required; but never lose your individuality.
Are you unfairly criticized, pushed around, taken for granted and still love him, remember, it's wise to marry someone who loves you than marry someone you love.
Seek counseling.
Avoid a rebound immediately.
Are you being dumped too often? To piece up your life, approach a life-coach or therapist.
You'll discover your strengths and work on your weaknesses.
Remember, many have gone through this.
