10 Things Guys Do After A Break Up
*Compiled By Chinenye Ugonna For PREMIUM TIMES*
I got
lots of requests to write the male version of what girls do after a
break up. After lots of interviews, I came up with a few behaviours guys
exhibit after a break up. It turns out that guys are not as hard
hearted as we think.
1. CRYING: Believe it or not, they do not
only cry at funerals, they cry for babes too. Quite a number of guys are
guilty of this.
Most of them come out doing “Odi eshi” (Igbo slang
for ‘not bothered’). But the reverse is the case for a guy who cry after
a heart break especially if he was in love with the girl.
2.
STAY INDOORS: For some people, they cannot handle going out and people
are asking where his babe is. The truth is, you can’tbe explaining to
everyone. So some guys who can’t handle the heat avoid friends and
events where they might see the ex or where people who knew them as a
couple might be. Meanwhile some guys go the opposite direction.
3.
HANGING OUT A LOT: This also occurs often. Guys do this because they
need to take their minds off the good times they shared with the ex. The
kissing and hugging, the hanging out on the beach, movie dates etc. So
to avoid thinking a lot, they channel their energy into something else.
4.
STALKING: From the interviews, I found that guys do this too. This is
not the usual scary stalking. This is the subtle kind using social media
to find out how the ex is faring, dressing to kill to go for events
because you know the ex-girlfriend would be there, and other little
things involved.
5. DRINKING: We all know some guys quit smoking
or drinking because of a girl they fell in love with. But as soon as the
relationship is over, they are back to old habits. They know they do
not have to answer to anyone anymore or feel guilty. Alcohol and
cigarettes tend to be their consolation so they drown and choke in it.
6.
SULKING: Yes, I said sulking! Some guys actually sulk when they are
sad. After all the hanging out with friends, partying, drinking and
loads more, they still end up alone withtheir thoughts. Back to square
one! Trying to figure out where it went wrong. That is when sleep
refuses to show up. Even after counting the ceiling a thousand times,
they still can’t stop thinking of her. Even if some guys won’t agree
with this, I am sure some others can relate.
7. STARE AT THE
GIRL’S PICTURE: Personally, I found this hilarious! I didn’t know guys
actually did this. I guess ladies aren’t the only softies in this world
then.
8. ALL BABES ARE THE SAME: Obviously, it is after bad
breakups you start to hear thingslike this. No matter how nice the girl
is, they do not want to believe she is different from the next girl.
No
mercy on the babes after a heart is broken. So in retaliation moves, he
would start plotting to break the hearts of as many girls as possible!
Just kidding but you get my drift!
9. CALL THE SECOND OPTION:
It’s after they break up with their girlfriend, that they remember the
other babe who liked them but they couldn’t date, because they were in a
relationship. She becomes his new besty. He startsto tell her he likes
her and boom!They go on from there. But this isnever a good fortune for
the girl because she ends up being the rebound. No girl likes to be on
that end of the rope.
10. TRY TO ACT LIKE THEY DON’TCARE: This is
typical amongst guys. They put up a front so they do not get dissed by
their friends.They try to hide that they are really softies. Some even
go as far as dating their ex’s friends or a hotter babe just to get back
at her.Things we do for love!!! At the end of the day, it is all based
on the maturity of the guy. Sometimes it works out negatively, and
sometimes positively. Choose your path!
