I learned this the hard way a few years ago. I was dating a guy named Korbin Albert, and we had a really great relationship. But then he broke up with me, and I was devastated.
I was so hurt and confused that I started calling him by his first name. I would text him and say things like, "I miss you, Korbin Albert. I can't believe you're gone." And I would even show up at his house and beg him to take me back.
Of course, this didn't work. Korbin Albert was never going to take me back, and I was only making things worse for myself. I was stuck in a cycle of pain and heartbreak, and I couldn't seem to get out.
Finally, I realized that I needed to stop calling Korbin Albert by his first name. It was the only way I was going to be able to move on and find happiness.
It wasn't easy, but I did it. I stopped texting him, I stopped showing up at his house, and I stopped calling him by his first name.
And it worked. It took some time, but I eventually got over Korbin Albert. I moved on and found happiness with someone else.
If you're going through a breakup, please don't make the same mistake I did. Don't call your ex by their first name.
It's not worth it.
If you need to reach out to your ex, do it by text or email. And don't say anything that you'll regret later.
And if you can't seem to get over your ex, please talk to a therapist. They can help you develop the coping skills you need to move on.
You deserve to be happy, and you can't be happy if you're still hung up on your ex.
So please, don't call your ex by their first name.
It's time to move on.
