Why Sex With The Ex Is Bad News During A Breakup
By Dr. George Karanastasis | March 13, 2008
Having sex is oftentimes compared to having pizza: even when it’s bad… it’s good.
And while this holds true as far as physical feelings are concerned, when it comes to its emotional aftermath (especially during a breakup) it’s a different story altogether.
You see, jumping into bed with your ex girlfriend can be a bad idea if you’re trying to rekindle the relationship with her. In many cases it can destroy much of the progress you’ve made towards “sealing the deal” and getting back together.
And here’s why…

Who Handles Relationship Rejection Better - Guys Or Girls?
By Dr. George Karanastasis | February 20, 2008
Most people would agree that men are strong while women are sensitive. It’s quite a stereotype, but a widely accepted one, nonetheless.
So with this in mind, you’d expect our “better halves” to have a harder time dealing with rejection in relationships (and to be more specific: during a breakup).
A logical assumption? I’d say so… but experience has proven me otherwise… And I recently answered this question for a member of the Makeup Board as part of Q&A session we put together. What follows is a recap of my response…

How To Win Her Back - 5 Relationship Rules You Gotta Break
By Dr. George Karanastasis | February 19, 2008
You would think that winning a girl back involves doing all of the things that attracted her to begin with and led into a full-blown relationship.
After all, if they worked once… why not a second time around? Unfortunately nothing could be further from the truth.
The strategies for saving a relationship are very different than the ones for starting or maintaining one. And while most men are well versed with the rules of the latter, few seem to be savvy to the former.
So, if you happen to be going through a breakup and you want to win this girl back… here are 5 actionable suggestions that strongly contradict the traditional rules of relationships…

Is It Ever Too Late To Get Your Ex Girlfriend Back?
By Dr. George Karanastasis | January 31, 2008
One of the greatest concerns a guy has when trying to get an ex girlfriend back is that time is slipping away… and with it, his chances of saving the relationship.
And when you take into consideration that time plays a major role in the reunion process - his feelings of urgency are well warranted.
Truth be told, the ex won’t wait around forever, but when it comes down to it, exactly how much time apart defines when a relationship has passed its point of no return?

Why Booze And Breakups Don’t Mix
By Dr. George Karanastasis | January 18, 2008
It’s not uncommon to look for a “crutch” when dealing with the pain of a breakup. And what better way to numb that pain than to drown your sorrows in a bottle.
You crack a cold one, and another, and another… and suddenly you’re feeling great!
Unfortunately, the feeling doesn’t last long. Sooner than later the lifting effect of alcohol gives way to depression. And that’s when things start to get messy.
So if you’re tempted to take this route the next time you hit bottom… here are 3 blunders booze can lead to that should make you think twice…

Should You Get Your Ex Girlfriend Back?
By Dr. George Karanastasis | January 12, 2008
All men are pigs… at least that’s what a woman will tell you when she’s feeling the pain of a breakup. And granted… when it comes to our girlfriends many of us behave in ways that are less than “appropriate” (to say the least). I’m no exception to this.
However, women aren’t saints either. They do their fair share of shitty stuff when it comes to relationships. They too have a knack for stringing guys along, making their lives a living hell, and then kicking them to the curb once they’ve had their fun.
If you’ve been through this before then you know what I’m referring to. And while the logical thing to do in a situation such as this is turn your back on her and walk away… when it comes to breakups logic goes straight out the window.
It’s natural for you to want to get your ex girlfriend back… but some breakups are best left alone. And if you’re considering attempting the hell that is relationship repair, make sure she’s worth it to begin with. It’s better to bite the bullet now then set yourself up for more pain down the road.
So with this in mind, I’m going to list you the 3 types of women that should never be pursued - both during a breakup and in general. And if your ex girlfriend happens to fall into one of the categories then it would be wise for you to let her be.
(One word of warning before we get started: do not read any further if you are easily offended… or in the words of Nicholson if “you can’t handle the truth”…)

How To Break Up With Your Girlfriend
By Dr. George Karanastasis | January 9, 2008
Getting couples back together or keeping them from falling apart is my regular agenda. However, today I thought I’d switch things up.
So with this in mind, this post will show you how to break up with your girlfriend… that is if you’re inclined to do so.
And if you’re not, you might want to consider it. Why? Because, and as it recently came to my attention, April 27th is “National Get In A Fight With Your Girlfriend Day”. I’m not making this up… the guys over at Just Us Nerds said so!
But here’s what I’m thinking: why wait until April? Why not get a head start on everyone else? That way you can proceed to get over her and find a fresh, new girlfriend… which of course you can break up with again when that day comes (or as we do it here, a few months earlier).
So, how to go about it? You’ll find all the details here. I promise you, you won’t be disappointed…
