FLQ LIFESTYLE RULE 4: REMOVE THEIR CONTACT DETAILS If, after this breakup, you have no interest in just being friends, delete your former love pursuit’s details. All of them. That way you won’t be tempted to make contact again. RULE 5: MINIMISE THE BREAK UP The aim of this rule is to come to see the positive side of the break up. You do this by imagining scenarios in which a break-up by text could have been worse. For example, at least he didn’t text me right before I started tripping down the altar . Or, at least she didn’t text me during the Arsenal game . The sun will soon start to shine again if you think this way. Breaking up via text message may not be the most honourable way to do end things, but we have to realize that it’s the modern equivalent of the Dear John envelope left on the mantelpiece. Our suggestion is that you don’t let it eat you up move on, and move up. 83
