text: At last count, there were 2,178 country songs about this very problem.  So, don't feel alone - it happens to just about everyone.\n\nRight now, you are very into the moment.  The breakup has devastated you emotionally and it's dragging everything else down around you, creating, well....a mess.  Things NOT to do:\n\n1)  Drown your sorrows in alcohol or drugs (several of the 2,178 country songs are about this, too)\n2)  Find another girl friend.  This is called the "Help Me Rhonda" syndrome and it almost always fails - badly.\n3)  Try to win her back.  Look, she just found a new boyfriend and she's on the rebound from you.  What does that tell you about her?  If there ever is to be anything between you two in the future, let her come back to you.  Don't chase her.\n\nNow, you've had some time to lavish yourself in pure misery.  It's time to pick yourself up and get back to a real life.\n\nHey, maybe you should write a country song about it.  Could bring in some needed money!
