71 Thoughts A Girl Has When Getting Under Someone To Get Over Someone

As the myth goes, the best way to get over a bad breakup is to get under someone.

Meaning if you want to move on, the best way to do so is by having rebound sex.

It comes from the notion that having sex without feelings is the most cathartic way to forget about the person whom you felt everything for.

If you can get it in real quickly with someone you don't know, your ex-boyfriend really didn't mean that much to you after all, right?

It's about using sex as medicine for the broken heart.

The issue is while this is one of the most pervasive breakup beliefs out there, it’s not totally accurate.

As relationship expert Emmalee Bierly, MFT told Elite Daily in a recent interview:

… Sure, maybe that helps for a little bit — it distracts you, makes you feel good, gives you comfort — but for the most part, it doesn’t really allow you to grieve the relationship.

Yet, we all continue to use rebound sex as a means to move on from our relationships. Sometimes we just don’t want to face our feelings because they hurt so damn much.

Every girl has gotten her heart broken, hit the bar in an attempt to take back her sanity, met a random guy and taken him for a one-night stand.

We’ve all been there. It’s our way of taking back the control.

It may not be the healthiest choice, but it sure does feel good in the moment.

We just want our exes to hurt as much as we do. For us, f*cking some random guy is our secret form of payback.

Here are 71 thoughts every girl has when she’s getting under someone to get over someone:

1. Wow, I’m having sex.
