Drunk, grabbing the phone to tell your ex you still love them; yeah, we’ve all been there… here’s why it’s the worst idea, besides the obvious.
It’s happened to us all. You’re going through the worst break-up of your life, you feel like sh*t. It sucks, it’s hard- it’s painful. You start thinking you’ll be single forever. You need a break — even if it is only from yourself for one night –, so you get a little drunk.
The drunker you get the sadder you feel and the more you miss your ex. You start convincing yourself you’ve made the wrong decisions, you start thinking maybe this is all wrong. Maybe you should try and get them back. Even though something is wildly screaming, “Noo” inside like a wombat.
You pick up the phone.
Wrong decision. You start calling your ex to tell them all the things you always wanted to say. Crying, professing undying love, screaming shouting, yelling weird threats?
Everyone has their own style.
Whatever your style of drunk dialing- it’s a baby apocalypse. In this unbelievable moment of utter vulnerability you’ve created a bigger mess. You wake-up the next day in a pool of your own drool. You remember sketchy details accompanied by a sinking feeling that something you’ve done is terribly wrong, stupid and embarrassing. Damn.
Why it’s never worth it:
If you still have the insane urge to call your ex. Okay…there is no point in saying don’t do it because you gonna do it if you wanna do it.
Your drunk self is part of you, it deserves a voice- just don’t let it steal your phone.
“Do not let this wine serve as an inspiration to call your ex in a pathetic attempt to get back together. Some very fine grapes have died in the making of this wine. Show some respect”- From the Wine
Go gently,
Be kind.
