When a friend gets their heart broken, BFF instincts kick in and you want to say anything to make them feel better. And while your intentions are probably in the right place, your words might not come off like you were hoping they would. Before you make your friend’s situation any worse than it already is, check out these 12 things you should never say to someone who’s newly single.
“You’re way more fun single, anyway.”
“I knew you two would break up eventually.”
“There are plenty of fish in the sea.”
“You should probably hook up with his friend to spite him.”
“I wish you would’ve broken up sooner.”
“They’ll beg you to take them back—you’ll see.”
“You were too good for them anyway.”
“You’ll love being single!”
“It could be worse.”
“Maybe you’ll get back together?”
“You’ll get over it in no time.”
“Remember all the good times you had together!”
Okay, okay - so these are all the things NOT to say to a friend who's heartbroken. But what exactly should you say? Start with "I'm sorry" and "How are you feeling? Are you okay?" Wine and ice cream helps, too. And if they're looking for advice about how to get over the loser, refer to this: 6 Healthy Ways to Get Over a Breakup. And hugs go a long way, too!
