Never pay back the airline tickets and deluxe hotel reservations reserved for both of you  

Stay at home browsing through old photo albums of your past vacations together

Take off on your own, headed for the same destination where you had planned to go together: it would be a shame to lose airline tickets and why not enjoy beautiful landscapes?

“You should have realized what you were losing when you dumped me... Tough luck!”

“Me too, I have been down and out since we broke up… How about meeting up?”

Nothing: when it’s finished, it’s finished!

You leave a scathing commentary under the photos: “I see that you are ready to break some more hearts, bravo!”

It’s the final blow: you race to see your shrink in order to try and cope with your distress and your jealousy

You are happy he was able to turn the page as quickly as you did and move on

You answer that her son was not a gent with you, that it was all his fault

You start sobbing in front of your computer screen: not only are you separated from the man you love, but you are deprived of adorable in-laws!

You answer with a message just as kind as hers, out of the true affection you had for this wonderful woman.

To keep them on your side, you tell them all the bad stuff he did to you during your relation, even if it means piling it on

You try to find out what he’s up in his daily life in order to fall apart in front of people he knows: at least he’ll know how much you are suffering!

You avoid talking about him in order not to put your friends in a delicate situation

“You don’t know what you will be missing...”

“Without you my life has no more meaning, I’m not going to make it, I’m too fragile and you know it”

“It’s better this way for you and for me”

The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger, to learn how to be a toughie!

Belle du seigneur by Albert Cohen, to remind yourself that overwhelming love still exists...

Vous plaisantez monsieur Tanner by Jean-Paul Dubois: the most hilarious book on earth, perfect to move on!

You give it to a woman in the street: out of the question to continue wearing something given by this louse!

You keep it preciously and continue wearing it to remember happy moments together

You return it to him directly: this necklace no longer belongs around your neck, it will look great on another girl!

Fuck you by Lily Allen

Et si tu n’existais pas by Joe Dassin

I will survive by Gloria Gaynor

You fill up a big garbage bag with all his clothes in order to give them to the Salvation Army

You sleep with his favourite t-shirt that still has his scent

You make an appointment with him so that he can pick it all up
