There is no path, just a forest full of trees. As you make your way through the woods, remember: your ex deleting pictures of you is not the same as erasing the memory of you, being right doesn’t mean it’s your right to interject, breakups are destabilizing and devastating and we WILL get through them, and Jafar is totally camp.Join us on Patreon for an extra weekly episode, exclusive livestreams, and more!SUBMIT: justbreakuppod.comFACEBOOK: /justbreakuppodINSTAGRAM: @justbreakuppodTWITTER: @justbreakuppodBLIND DATE: timeshelJust Break Up is a production of Du Vide Media.

Dignity? A thing of the past! The new thing is: holding firm to what you want in a relationship even if that means your current one ends, not letting one good night of conversation eclipse three years of harmful behavior, and going to therapy to work through retroactive jealousy (or just in general, if you have the means!).Join us on Patreon for an extra weekly episode, exclusive livestreams, and more!SUBMIT: justbreakuppod.comFACEBOOK: /justbreakuppodINSTAGRAM: @justbreakuppodTWITTER: @justbreakuppodBLIND DATE: Queer For FearJust Break Up is a production of Du Vide Media.

We all tell ourselves stories. Just make sure you’re not using them to: avoid accountability for your actions, gaslight yourself into thinking your very reasonable discomfort is irrational jealousy, invalidate your future hardships because you’ve seen others go through worse, or, under any circumstances, justify buying a kitten for your ex.Our live show has been rescheduled to Friday, 10/21.

You don’t need to change someone’s perception of you to be valid. Here’s what you can do instead: sit with the discomfort that you’re the villain in someone else’s story, find ways to meet your needs without extracting them from other people, and refuse to give relationship nostalgia more weight than it needs (or say fuck it and shoot your shot—it worked for Sierra and her wife!).Our live show has been rescheduled to Friday, 10/21.

Sometimes you just have to learn a lesson until it’s learned. Worthwhile lessons include: trust is not the absence of jealousy, it’s not on you to turn your partner into the person you need them to be, true love is neither butterflies nor settling—it’s stability, contentment, fulfillment, vulnerability—and no, you probably don’t have a good reason to unblock-block-block your ex.Our live show has been rescheduled to Friday, 10/21.

Your dream partner is out there, and they’ll make you work less hard for your love. Here’s what they WON’T do: make you doubt your stable, loving relationship for having innocent crushes, lead you on for sport, cheat on and lie to you, or leverage your imaginary wedding to absolve themselves of guilt (optional: leave the house without brushing their teeth).Join us on Patreon for an extra weekly episode, exclusive livestreams, and more!SUBMIT: justbreakuppod.comFACEBOOK: /justbreakuppodINSTAGRAM: @justbreakuppodTWITTER: @justbreakuppodBLIND DATE: Savage Appetites by Rachel MonroeJust Break Up is a production of Du Vide Media.
