New on Nerve, 5.21.08: Miss Information

This week, Miss Info cracks open a pint of Ben & Jerry's for a recently dumped reader in need of some comfort. First she offers a disclaimer:

How do I get over a heartbreak? Poorly. Same as everybody else.

But she's also got some useful tips:

I guess one thing I consistently do that I haven't observed in everybody else — or at least a good number of people who write me letters — is that I don't have a lot of contact with my exes. Interacting with them right after the breakup is bad news, I've found. It always inflicts pain on one or more parties. When it doesn't, it's a temporary sort of pleasure that you have regrets about the next morning, week, etc. as the complications set in. Like eating McDonald's.

Read the whole column here, you poor lovelorn sods.
