frida Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Thank you everyone for all the posts! I hope this helps anyone else dealing with the pain of their break up. I wanted to share a few movies that havent been mentioned that helped me: Girl Most Likely Sliding Doors Frances Ha Kill Bill Vol. 1 Picture Perfect I Hate Valentine's Day Breakin All the Rules Someone Like You High Fidelity The Break Up Begin Again** (LOVED) Some of these have happy endings but they dont necessarily end the way or how you expect them to, but thats life! If anyone has any other suggestions let me know Link to comment
saluk Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Ooo "High Fidelity" is a great pick. An old comedy I used to really love that is about some relationships just being wrong is Saving Silverman. (I always get the title mixed up with Forgetting Sarah Marshal for some reason). Link to comment

fifregister Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Game of Thrones! Because it's an amazing series featuring lots of plot twists and gore. It's not going to heal you by addressing relationship difficulties. It will heal you by letting you know that life is precious because people get poisoned and/or get their heads chopped off at any moment. Relationshipy films/shows that I like: Casablanca Gone with the Wind Under the Tuscan Sun (one of my repeat favorites) Sex and the City Legally Blonde Bridget Jones' Diary Link to comment

surfjon Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.................. When I first saw this beautiful movie, I thought that I'd really like it if this concept were possible.....I actually gave it a lot of thought, even was told of a "healer" that could actually do a similar thing.....make one "forget" that the person that broke their heart never existed.... The more I thought about it though, I came to realize that although I invested 5 years with her, and would like to "get over" her quickly and this seemed like the way to go, that I wanted the memories....both good AND bad.... The time with her helped define who I am, who I want to be, who I don't want to be and that my boundaries are and would ever more be sacred to me.... Erasing the memories of and with her would be counterproductive and although she hurt me to the core like no woman ever did before, that I did want to remember so that I would never forget and repeat what she did to me....... Peace all..... SJ Link to comment
Darrowz Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 No one has mentioned this movie yet... seems like it slipped under the radar of most people. Helped me realize a lot of things, even if I'm not completely there yet. I urge everyone to check it out, or at least the trailer What If Wallace, who is burned out from a string of failed relationships, forms an instant bond with Chantry, who lives with her longtime boyfriend. Together, they puzzle out what it means if your best friend is also the love of your life. Link to comment

Looking back now I think this movie shows us that if two people are really meant to be together they will eventually end up together no matter the circumstances! Thanks for the suggestion Link to comment
frida Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 I know exactly what you mean. At first you think this is a wonderful wonderful concept! Erasing all of the pain from your mind would be a quick fix to get over someone. But, when I re-watched the movie (this past valentines day, a month after the break up) it hit me hard. Theres one scene where almost all of the memories are gone and he's begging not to erase one...not this one! just let me keep this memory. And at that moment I realized that as much as I hated my ex for all the pain he caused me I want to keep some of the memories, like you said, both good and bad. You learn so much from a relationship and the mistakes that you made and they made teaches you a lot about how not to act in a relationship and what you do want in a relationship. I do warn everyone that this a difficult movie to watch and I don't suggest watching it early in the separation. Link to comment
Tind Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Hi my favorite breakup movie is "About Last Night" with Rob Lowe and Demi Moore.. If you are using NC this movie will help remind you why NC is the best way to get an Ex back or help you heal and move on... Link to comment
