I Blocked Him 3 Times This Week: Welcome to Breakup Bingo
Manage episode 489664478 series 3604733
Ever wondered if your post-breakup behavior is normal or completely unhinged? This episode of The Breakup Diet might make you feel seen in ways you weren't expecting.
We dive into the hilarious yet painfully relatable game of "Breakup Bingo" – checking off all the questionable things we do when relationships end. From the three-day crying marathons (where does all that liquid come from when you're not even drinking water?) to pretending to be over your ex while secretly stalking their social media, we're confessing it all.
The discussion gets refreshingly honest as we explore why the "fake it till you make it" approach to heartbreak might actually be psychologically beneficial. We share stories about post-breakup fitness transformations, orchestrating "accidental" bump-ins with exes, and using dating apps purely for validation rather than genuine connection. That moment when you block your ex only to unblock them hours later? Apparently, we've all been there.
What makes this conversation special is the balance between humor and genuine reflection on why we engage in these behaviors. Whether it's trying to boost your ego after feeling rejected or desperately seeking closure that probably isn't coming, these coping mechanisms reveal so much about human vulnerability.
Want to know if you're the Nigella Lawson of breakups or just a casual player in the post-relationship games? Give this episode a listen and check off your own Breakup Bingo card. You might be surprised by how many squares you've filled – and find comfort in knowing you're definitely not alone.
