12 Genius Ways To Help Your Best Friend Get Over Her Dumb Ex

She needs you now more than ever. Apply these tips and learn a few more from Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce, Tuesdays @ 10/9c on Bravo.

1. Let her get her crazy out.

There are LOTS OF EMOTIONS happening, some of which might come out in not-so-subtle ways. If she needs to burn every letter her ex ever wrote, supply the matches.

2. Get rid of her ex’s stuff.

Should there be clothes or books or things to be collected, confiscate them yourself and coordinate directly with her ex. The less interaction they have, the better.

3. Remind her of all the bad things.

There’s always that phase when every wonderful part of their relationship comes to the surface, and all the bad ones are MIA. Never let her forget the time he admitted he hates animals. But also, go easy on the sh*t talk lest they get back together.

4. Go to her if you can.

If it’s just not physically possible, do whatever you can to give her at least 15 uninterrupted minutes on the phone or over FaceTime.

5. Speaking of which, listen.

Like, really listen. Hear her, ya know?

6. Remind her of all her other exes.

She got over them all, she’ll get over this one too. It just takes time.

7. Unfriend and unfollow her ex on all social media — from her account.

She might hate you for it, but it's what she needs. Soften the blow by allowing her access to your account from time to time. Occasional stalking should be allowed (though preferably monitored).

8. Go with her to get the haircut her ex was against.

And if you’re an especially baller friend, pay for it.

9. Tell her she looks good.

Really, dat haircut tho. She is hot shit. Remind her over and over and over again.

10. Take her out.

To a bar. To dinner. To see a movie. Maybe just to talk. Not everyone’s breakup M.O. is the same, so don’t push an agenda on her if she’s not into it. But, hell, if what she wants is to take shots and get drunk, BY ALL MEANS, get the woman some shots!

11. Check in.

Everything about breaking up sucks, but maybe the worst part is there’s no set rule for how long it takes to recover — regardless of how long the relationship lasted. Continue to check in every now and then. A little thought goes a long way.

12. And most importantly, don’t judge her.

Maybe she’s hung up on her ex, maybe she’s totally fine. Maybe she moves on right away, and maybe they get back together. Just keep in mind it’s her life and her call, and what she needs most of all is for you to be a safe space.
