10 Major Breakup Myths, Debunked

Myth #1: "It takes half as long as you went out with someone to get over them." Did you know that the "sell-by" dates on food actually have nothing to do with safety at all, and we toss out perfectly decent cans of sustenance just because a number tells us to? That’s because our weird human brains need concrete deadlines on everything—especially when we’ve just been dumped and we feel like ass. But there’s no deadline for crawling out of the shit-pit of heartbreak. It could be quicker than you imagined, or it could be years, or (sorry) it could be never.

Myth #2: "If you were never officially going out, you shouldn’t be as sad as you’d be if you were official." Woman A has a boyfriend for two months and then he dumps her. Woman B hooks up with someone she really likes, on and off, for years, and then he ends it. Which woman is allowed to get day-drunk and throw things? Trick question: Both of them. Preferably sharing a bottle
