Dear Breakup Girl,

I've split up with my boyfriend but am still sleeping with him. I do feel that it's helping me get over him but is it really a good idea. He dumped me.

Dear Sar,

Do you also find that smoking is helping you quit? No, sweetie, no. The only way this could conceivably help is, well, if he were royally intolerably bad in bed. And then after once or twice you would have proved your point, yes? This is not helping you get over him, it is helping you get to see him, in a take-whatever-you-can-get sort of way. But it will also not get him back. If you want to get over him in this lifetime, then get out of bed.

Love,
Breakup Girl
