The European Kid: Breakups in Big Cities

This week on The Break Up Diet, Yaz is in New York with Aris Yeager aka The European Kid for a very real, very honest conversation about breakups in big cities and why they somehow hurt more the older we get.Aris opens up about his worst breakup and why the ones from your teenage years do not even compare. We talk about how moving to a fast paced city like New York can completely shift your priorities, your relationships, and your sense of self. And like a lot of men, the heartbreak did not hit straight away. It crept in weeks later through the small things. Seeing something funny and instinctively wanting to text them. Reaching for your phone out of habit. Realising someone quietly became part of your everyday life.We get into modern dating in big cities, fake energy, surface level connections, and how social media makes it feel like there is always something better around the corner. Aris shares what it is like navigating relationships while having an online persona, why genuine people feel rarer than ever, and why closure actually matters when it comes to moving on.This episode is thoughtful, relatable, and very Break Up Diet coded. It is for anyone who has ever wondered why they are still hurting while their ex seems completely fine, or felt like a breakup is less about losing a person and more about losing a version of your life.Press play if you are healing, reflecting, or just want to feel a little less alone.
