Frich Reveals: Breakup Survival Guide
Breaking up is hard to do, but it doesn't have to break your spirit (or your wallet). Whether you're nursing a broken heart or just curious how others navigate their breakups, we've got the scoop. Let's dive into some of the most intriguing breakup scenarios and see how our Frichies handle them.
You've just been broken up with. What do you splurge on to make yourself feel better?
Sometimes the best way to get over heartbreak is to splurge on something. And that's fine! Money is meant to be enjyed (within reason, of course). So, while we would never endorse retail therapy on a regular basis, sometimes it's just what the doctor ordered :)
When it comes to the people around you, here's what they splurge on to make themselves feel a bit better. 28% would go straight for retail therapy, 20% would go on a solo trip, 20% would go for a big night out with friends, and the rest would splurge on changing their appearance (haircut, tattoo etc).
What do you do after breaking up if you've already planned a trip together?
Yikes, that's a tough situation to be in! Do you cancel and eat the cost, like 39% of you, or still go as "friends," like 33% of Frichies? It's a tough call. But for 28%, the trip is worth waiting to break up after. If you decide to go, just remember to set some boundaries and maybe book separate accommodations. After all, nothing says "awkward" like sharing a room with your ex!
If you need to cancel, consider using travel insurance agencies to help cover the costs. But if you decide to go, make the most of your time and money by prioritizing yourself. Enjoy the trip, indulge a little, and focus on enjoying your own company while you sip a piña colada on the beach.
You've been broken up with - what do you do?
When the breakup bomb drops, 38% of Frichies prefer to stay in and wallow for a bit, and that's okay. Sometimes you simply need a Netflix binge and a tub of ice cream.
But if you're ready to get back out there, 32% of Frichies immediately download a dating app and start going on dates. And for 29%, spending money going out with friends is the best medicine. Whether it's a wild night out with friends or finding a rebound to keep your mind off things, a good distraction can work wonders.
Breakups are tough, but you're tougher. So go ahead and treat yourself to some fun!
Is it ok to keep using your ex's streaming accounts after a breakup?
This one's a bit of a grey area. Just over half of you say stay on them until you get kicked off, while the other half believe in creating a new account immediately. Our take? If you're still on good terms and they don't mind, ride that free streaming wave as long as you can! But if it feels weird, it might be time to cut the cord and get your own subscription.
Breakups are never easy, but with a little help from your friends at Frich, you can navigate them with ease. Remember, it's all about finding what works for you and taking care of yourself.
And hey, if all else fails, just remember: ice cream never asks for its hoodie back. You've got this!
