Don’t Text Your Ex (Unless You Have To) - Josefin Eklund

from The Break-Up Diet

In this episode, I’m joined by my very good friend Josefin Eklund, and let’s just say… it escalates quickly.We’re talking rebounds (more than one), sleeping with your ex after the breakup, and the awkward reality of “no contact” when you suddenly have to message them about… antibiotics. Yes, that actually happened. We get into whether rebounds actually help, how to realise you’re not over someone at the worst possible time, and why sometimes your friend has to text your ex for you because the shame is too real.Josefin opens up about breaking up during lockdown, not being invited to her boyfriend’s birthday (while living together), Christmas sex with an ex, and the moment she finally got over him in Tulum. We also cover being friends with your ex (or absolutely not), closure conversations, forgiving people who hurt you, and why breaking up with a good guy can feel even worse.Plus: no-contact rules, post-breakup glow-ups (or lack of), saying “I love you” without meaning it, and the most niche ick you’ve ever heard involving snails and bare feet.If you’ve ever texted your ex when you said you wouldn’t, used a rebound as a coping mechanism, or convinced yourself chaos is character development — this episode is for you.🎧 Don’t Text Your Ex (Unless You Have To) - Josefin Eklund Hosted on Acast.
