Ever found yourself obsessively checking your ex's "last seen" status at 2 AM or tracking their location through an app they forgot to disable? You're not alone. Breaking up in the digital age brings a whole new dimension to heartbreak, and we're diving headfirst into all the messy, embarrassing, and counterproductive mistakes we make during this vulnerable time.

From stalking social media accounts to overanalyzing past conversations, we candidly share our own cringe-worthy post-breakup behaviours and why they're so hard to stop. We explore the psychology behind these patterns and discuss why the first month after a breakup is typically the hardest – with each week bringing its own unique challenges before healing truly begins.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we examine how differently men and women tend to process breakups. Why do men seemingly move on faster? Is it emotional suppression or something else entirely? And what does modern dating in a global city like London look like when everyone has endless options at their fingertips? We don't hold back in discussing how dating apps have created a disposable dating culture where genuine connection feels increasingly rare.

Perhaps most importantly, we advocate for maintaining high standards rather than settling for convenience. From social media behaviour that signals disrespect to the importance of finding someone who genuinely adds value to your life – we're passionate about the belief that true love shouldn't constantly feel like hard work. If you're navigating a breakup or trying to figure out what healthy love should look like, this raw conversation offers both solidarity and hope.
