painful breakup
How to know that you have recovered from a painful breakup.
Last week I started a discussion about how long it takes to get over an ex. Answers varied, of course, depending on lots of different factors, and some people even admitted they weren't sure whether they'd ever get over an ex. While we may not be there now, most of us can remember a time when we wondered the very same thing. Fortunately, time really does heal most wounds and eventually the fog lifts and the day comes when you realize, suddenly, you're gloriously, blessedly, wonderfully, finally over him!

Reunited and it just is not feeling that good, evidently. Us Magazine reports that exes Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas will have to spend one of the most romantic night of the year together on New Year’s Eve when the two acts are scheduled to perform on Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve special. Although other acts are scheduled to perform, this might be interesting. I wonder if they’ll keep them separated like Tom and Nicole post-divorce.
