What A Breakup Looks Like For Lesbians in 2015

Lesbian breakups are unique in many ways, but basically, they’re worse than any other kind of breakup, even when done like a lady.

There are a lot of intense feelings when two women are in love, so it's not surprise there are a lot more when two women fall out of love. This is really what it's like to go through a break-up in 2015: 

1. The conversation you had together while breaking up will replay in your head over and over and over again.

Buckle up for some serious overthinking.

2. Separating your shit means you’ll be losing some of your newly & unreasonably claimed wardrobe favorites.

Say goodbye to that perfectly worn v-neck that smells like her. Then cry about missing her smell and shirt later.

3. You’ll unfortunately still be finding her things for months to come, and have to relive all those memories of her in your long term memory.

Basically your brain is the enemy here.

4. You'll constantly stare at your phone (and try to talk yourself out of) sending a text/Instagram stalking her/watching her Snapchat story/connecting with her in some capacity.

Don’t do it.

5. Then you do it.

Have fun with those interactions, cuz they’re probably going to be soul crushing.

6. As will the moment when you finally run into her in person. Just hope really hard that it’s in the very distant future.

Because if it’s really soon after, it’s really super soul crushing. (But we're really supportive of daydreaming about this fantastical relationship that should and could have been)

7. When that day finally comes to branch back out into the lesbian world, it will become abundantly clear just how out of practice you are at the art of female seduction.

How did anyone ever find you to be an articulate, attractive human being?

8. Good luck with finding a new bae — all the good ones are always coupled up when you’re single.

Recognize that this is your bad karma coming to bite you in the ass, hope the personal awareness you’ve expressed sets you right with mother nature, and sincerely hope for the best.

9. Hunting down the best lesbian dating app (use HER) and creating a profile that doesn’t make you seem like a mutant and reaching out to queer female strangers will become your reality.

Who the fuck wants to do this though? It’s not ’99 and chat rooms aren’t a thing anymore. Actually, would lesbian apps be better if they were more like chatrooms? Probably, since one-on-one online, stranger interaction is incredibly awkward no matter what people say.

But going through a breakup isn’t all that bad toward the end—you start to want to feel sexy again, reinvigorate the confidence you once had, and you begin to meet new, exciting people. Carpe Diem, ladies. It doesn’t stay bad forever.
