How can going back to work help you cope with a split?

Cupid’s Advice:

Breaking up is tough stuff. Sometimes finding yourself deep in your work can help you out. Here are some ways going back to work can help you cope with a split:

1. Distractions: You can’t be constantly moping about and missing your partner if you’re focusing on projects and business. Use your work as a distraction, and you may find yourself not even thinking about the breakup after work.

2. Catharsis: Just like exercising when you’re angry, working hard after a split can be relieving. You’ll feel accomplished and important, and won’t care about what your ex thinks of you.

3. Opportunities: Being single gives you the chance to be selfish for the first time in a while. Got a chance to move across the country for a promotion? No one’s holding you back now. Go ahead and take it.
