      So a thought from today's column: https://www.doctornerdlove.com/ask-dr-nerdlove-was-breaking-up-the-right-decision/ … You wouldn't think it needs to be said but you've got the right to handle your break-up the way you need to in order to heal. That includes deciding you can't take staying in contact with an ex.

      Yeah, it's great if you can stay friends with someone after a break-up. But there's a difference between "it's nice if" and "you absolutely should". Doubly so if doing so is like sandpaper to your soul.

      Using the Nuclear Option (that is, unfollowing/blocking/etc. on social media, deleting their number, etc.) isn't about "you broke up with me and now you're dead to me" it's "Look it hurts too much to see you right now and I need to take care of myself"

      And y'know, it's a shame if the other person would rather you stay in touch but you're not required to cut yourself open so other people don't have a temporary sad.

      Incidentally, this applies to rejection too. While the Let's Just Be Friends speech is usually a formality, even when it isn't, that doesn't make it a commandment. Again: it's nice if you can pull it off, but not required.

          Just as it's their right to say no to the kind of relationship *you* want, it's also *your* right to say no to the relationship *they're* asking you for. Friends are great, but that doesn't mean you have to be friends with everyone you meet.

          And yes, you shouldn't try to date someone you couldn't be friends with. But that doesn't necessarily mean that you will want to pursue a friendship if romance doesn't work out. Doubly so if it still hurts to see them.

          TL;DR: sometimes you have to follow the sage when he said "I may love you, yeah, but I love me more." /fin
