No Contact Challenge

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UPR chapter.

In general when a relationship ends, whether it’s a long-term love or a few weeks of dating, there are always two parties involved: the dumper and the dumpee. It doesn’t matter in which situation you’re in, neither one is better or worse. After dealing with a hard break up, there are some phases that you need to overcome. First comes the shock and denial, then emotions start to fly around and finally you get to move on with your life.

To deal with all the emotional rollercoaster, you need to remember that this is just temporary. There is no right or wrong thing to do post break up, but committing yourself to the no contact challenge will be one step closer to moving on. That’s the most important rule. If you want to get back to the fun part of being single, you must allow yourself to follow these steps to brush up on your game.

6 Post Break-Up Rules of Her Campus UPR That Should Never Be Broken:

Rule #1: don’t text, call or email the dumper EVER. The biggest pitfall can be to contact him. We all know that lovers parting ways have a pretty rough time getting their lives back together. However, it’s absolutely crucial that you stick to this rule!

Rule #2: no ex sex ladies. This is a big NO-NO. It was great while you had it, but it’s time to move on.

Rule #3: get in touch with your friends. It’s always good to change your rutine. Now it’s your chance to go out and have a good time.

Rule #4: no drunk dialing. When drinking all bad ideas seem to be pretty good ones- that’s when you’ll probably feel the urge to call him. Don’t do it!

Rule #5: get back in the game. It’ll take you time to start dating and meeting new guys again, but it’s not hard. You just have to accept the fact that your relationship is over. 

Rule #6: MOVE ON! You totally deserve it.
