Relationship Roadkill: 5 Ways to Get Over a Breakup, Fast!

After the last box of tissues is emptied, the tears have dried up, and the remaining pint of ice cream inhaled, you wonder: Now what? You're still not over the breakup, but you're finally ready to move on.

Everyone's heard the rule: Getting over the relationship takes half as long as the relationship itself. But sometimes you don't have months -- or even years -- to muddle through the getting-over process. Here are the top 5 ways to speed up the healing process:

1. Toss the Evidence

Whether it's a designer watch or one of those Cracker Jack box rings your ex found, your first order of business is to discard every little item that he/she ever gave you.

Photos, letters, sweet post-its that say "I love you" -- all of this must be trashed.

And that also goes for items you have hidden away. Even if no one else knows what's in your arsenal of romantic keepsakes, you'll know you're holding on to the past and it will take that you much longer to get over the breakup.

2. Don't Discuss It, Ever!

We've all been around people who can't stop talking about their exes. But don't be surprised to find out that more you talk about them, the harder it will to be to move on. The same goes for other people bringing up the topic. If someone asks how your ex is, refrain from ranting and politely tell them you haven't spoken in a while.

3. List Their Flaws

When we're in love, it's not uncommon to gloss over each other's flaws and inadequacies for the sake of keeping the peace. Of course, once you're out of the union, all bets are off.

You're fully entitled to list of all their annoying qualities that drove you crazy.

If they snored at night, ate with their mouths open, were rude to your friends, or laughed like a hyena, make sure you write everything down. The longer the list, the shorter your post-breakup recovery.

4. Be More Selective

There are two schools of thought: some people believe that the best way to get over someone is to get out and circulate, while others will tell you that dating too soon is a bad idea. The truth is if you go out and start dating every person who asks you, you're bound to end up on some disastrous dates and your ex will seem so much better in comparison.

If you don't date at all, you'll risk sitting around and wallowing in a sea of boredom and despair.

The key is to be very selective about your dates and only go out with singles who inspire you or, at the very least, won't send you running back into the arms of your ex.

5. Make Up for Lost Time

Even the best relationships require compromise, which is why you should make the first month out of the relationship all about YOU! Make a list of all the things you postponed or avoided doing because your ex hated it. Whether it's going to see a foreign film, watching ESPN, or planning a night out with your best buds, this is a great opportunity to get back in touch with those parts of your personality you may have left by the wayside.

The Breakup Test: 5 Questions to Ask Before Giving 'Em the Boot

Is it better to be the breaker-upper or the dumpee?

With so much attention being paid to those poor people dumped every year, no one ever takes time to think about what it's like to be the dumper. Hardly an enviable position, the decision to break up with someone can breed feelings of guilt, paralysis and depression.

To alleviate some of this anxiety, here's a list of 5 questions to ask yourself before you give someone the boot.

Question 1: Has There Been a Major Change in My Life?

Relocation, career change, an illness -- any of these factors can trigger problems in a relationship.

If you're stressed out about something, be it a job or family problem, it's all too tempting to generalize these feelings to include your partner. It's very easy to think that if you got out of this relationship you would feel better. In reality, you need to deal with the problem rather than blame it on your partner.

Question 2: What's My Happiness Ratio?

Being blissfully in love with your partner 24/7 is a wonderful concept in theory, but as we all know, real-world relationships rarely live up to these expectations. Many people assume that they have to be 100 percent satisfied with their partners in order to stick with them, but good luck ever finding this perfect scenario!

A better strategy would be to adopt the 80 percent rule. Ask yourself:

Am I satisfied with my partner 80 percent of the time or more?

If the answer is yes, then you're working with pretty good odds. If the answer is no, you may want to consider moving on.

Question 3: Is He/She Abusive?

Abusive behavior comes in many forms. There's physical abuse where someone hits, slaps or shoves you. A verbally abusive partner degrades you with harsh words and insults. And the most difficult to identify and pinpoint: psychological abuse. This form of abuse can involve overly controlling behavior, emotional blackmail, and episodes of extreme jealousy. If your partner engages in any of the above behavior, don't just walk -- run from the relationship.

Question 4: Have I Expressed My Frustration?

Many of us think that if our partner was right for us, he/she would be able to understand our needs intuitively without us ever having to communicate. While it would be great if our partners could just read our minds, the truth is that few of us are telepathic.

Good communication is required in every relationship.

So before you give your partner their walking papers, make sure to discuss your doubts and concerns so they have a chance to make it up to you.

Question 5: Am I Willing to Work at It?

Whatever your gripes or complaints, there's one factor that can make or break your union: your mutual desire to work on the relationship. If you're not both committed to improving your quality of life together, there's very little hope for the future.

And remember, actions speak louder than words. If both of you make a concerted effort to work on the relationship and make the necessary changes that are required, there's really no reason to call it quits.

Four Types of 'Male Sex

A famous sexologist was giving a lecture in front of a big crowd.

"There are 4 kinds of men when it comes to sex.

The first kind does it every day. You can usually recognize him by his
masculine body and the constant smile on his face.
Do we have anyone like this in the audience?"

A man got up from the audience and he fitted the description: Big firm
body with a smile on his face.

"Then there is the second kind. They have sex once a week.
They also have a generally happy mood, and look pretty good,
but of course not as good as the first kind.
Is there any one of them here tonight?".

A second man got up, and he too fitted the description.

"The third kind do it once a month.
They are chubby and usually grumpy.
Anyone of them here?".

The man that raised from his chair looked exactly like the expert claimed.

"And then there is the 4th kind. They do it once a year. They usually
have a big belly, but the thing that is most typical is that they are
in a constant state of depression.

I know it would be hard for him to admit,
but if there is one of those in the audience, please rise".
A fat and short man stood up, but in contrary to the experts
prediction, he looked very cheerful.

"You do it only once a year?", the expert asked.
"Yes, only once a year".

"So why are you so happy?", demanded the expert.
"Well", said the man, cheeringly, "Tonight is the night!"...

Why Indian Mom's r the best

A young Indian man excitedly tells his mother he's fallen in love and that
he is going to get married.

He says, "Ma, I'm going to bring over 3 women and you try and guess
which one I'm going to marry."

The mother agrees.

The next day, he brings three beautiful women into the house and sits them
down on the couch and they chat for a while.

Later, he says,"Okay Ma,guess which one I'm going to marry."

She immediately replies, "The one on the right."

" That's amazing, Ma. You're right. How did you know?"

The Indian mother replies, " I don't like her " ....!!!!!!!!!! ;-)

Christmas Dating Disasters

If misery does love company, or if you just need a jolt of laughter, check out this list of five outrageous Christmas gaffes, and get some tips for recovering in case you commit them, too.

And, just as a point of reference, in my family the gaffe of the century occurred when my date, someone I’d been seeing a few months, came over a few days before Christmas. We were all drinking eggnog, and he kept offering to fill empty glasses. We thought he was being mannerly. It wasn’t until he passed out in the bathroom that we surmised he’d been adding a splash of whisky to his nog each time he went to refill a glass. You better believe he learned his lesson, and that was the end of his nog consumption that Christmas season.

Christmas gaffe: Heather from London, had just started dating someone before the Christmas. “When I went over on Christmas Eve, his parents had gotten me a little gift. Nothing big, but I hadn’t brought them anything. His mum pulled me up on it! She said something like, ‘Oh, I’m sorry for getting you something. I assumed you two were in the type of relationship where you would do the same.’”

Tip: If you’re a guest, always take something, even if it’s just cocktail napkins. The gesture is more important than the gift.

Christmas gaffe: Here’s another reason why gift-wrapping shouldn’t be saved till the last minute. Mark from Oxford admits he isn’t the most organised guy. “I was in a rush before Christmas and quickly wrapped presents for the woman I was dating and her parents,” he recalls. “I’d gotten her a gift card to a fancy lingerie store, and her parents gift cards from their favourite shops. Unfortunately, I put the wrong card on the presents, so she got a card from a fishing shop, her mum got the lingerie. At least her dad didn’t mind his card from the bookstore.”

Tip: “Ever since that day, I’ve wrapped presents and put the cards on immediately,” Mark notes. Identifying gifts properly becomes especially important, we note, when lingerie is involved.

Christmas gaffe: “My new man’s parents announced they’d be making an impromptu visit, the night of my annual Christmas dinner party,” recalls Dana from Birmingham “There’s always room at my table, so I invited them to attend.” Too bad no one mentioned that the parents in question didn’t eat pork for religious reasons. “Imagine my horror (and theirs) when they saw me getting ready to bring out pork loin. Luckily, I had a couple of filets I had in the freezer and dinner was only served 30 minutes late.”

Tip: “From now on,” Dana says, “I always ask about dietary restrictions before guests come over!” And if you or your relatives are the ones with the dietary restrictions, by all means, speak up.

Christmas gaffe: A lively debate is one thing… getting up on a soapbox is another, as Susie from Glasgow found out. She thinks Christmas is an over-rated Christmas. “I was ranting against the commercialisation of Christmas, railing against people who lavish tons of gifts on their families and friends,” she says. “The bloke I was dating got really quiet and when I asked what was wrong, he told me I’d just described how his family celebrates Christmas and that it was his favourite holiday.”

Tip: “My Grandma was right,” Susie says. “Never talk about religion or religious observances!” especially if you have a strong and/or negative opinion. Christmas times just aren’t the right time to air those beliefs.

Christmas gaffe: You might want to be on your best behaviour, especially when it comes to your table manners, at this time. “I thought people only cared about this on Seinfeld, but I got caught double-dipping at my date’s Christmas party and she flipped,” says Dave from York. “She threw out the dip and apologised to her friends. I decided it was time to leave, the party and the relationship.”

Tip: OK, OK: So Dave’s girlfriend perhaps had an unnaturally strong reaction. But that said, you can’t go wrong being overly cautious about table manners. Never re-dip after you take a bite. Don’t commit a boarding-house reach right across the table to get at those biscuits. And commenting that you’re so full you could burst after a big Christmas meal probably won’t win you brownie points, either.

Learn from these people’s miscues and hopefully you’ll avoid making any embarrassing mistakes during your Christmas interactions. Here’s to a season full of harmony and good cheer!

Raj A new vacuum cleaner salesman knocked on the door on the first house of thestreet. A tall lady answered the door.

Before she could speak, the enthusiastic salesman barged into the living room and opened a big black plastic bag and poured all the cow droppings onto the carpet.

"Madam, if I could not clean this up with the use of this new powerful vacuum cleaner, I will EAT all this *&*!*&!" exclaimed the eager salesman.

"Do you need chilli sauce or ketchup with that" asked the lady.

The bewildered salesman asked, "Why, madam?"

"There's no electricity in the house..." said the lady
