1. Whisky.
2. Get away, as far as you can. To a place you've never been before. Preferably with a foreign language.
3. Give thanks for the men (or women) who remain excellent in your life. Spend time with them.
4. Complete communication ban on correspondence with Ex-partner.
5. Keep a journal at hand for sudden realisations or moments when you need to write (NOT SMS) "I F*CKING HATE THAT STUPID F*CKING C*CKSUCKER* Because (1) Writing is so much more cathartic than a pissy little text message, and (2) it's good to flick back after a few months and see your thought process evolve.
6. Head held high, you are still worthy.
7. Take the time to work out really, truly where things went wrong. Read some good authors on relationships, see a counsellor or therapist. Reflect. Respond, self-knowledge is king.
8. Do whatever you need to do to get through this, and look after yourself.
9. Be the better person. Don't gripe publicly or to anyone other than closest confidant(e)s. For everyone else: "It just wasn't working out."
