I say take yourself shopping, pamper yourself with the most expensive products around and just keep your head up. remind yourself that you ARE better and you will FIND better than him. Picture your ideal guy and tell yourself that theres nobody whos going to prevent you from getting him!
Spend your time with the people that you know will make you feel good and happy ie. family and friends. good luck xXx

Think about your family and how much they love and appreciate you. If you can see yourself through other people's eyes, this will help you find your self worth. It might also be good for you to volunteer your time to the needy, the elderly or children who have no family. This will do wonders for making you feel worthy again and it will help someone else in the process. Then slowly, you need to evaluate what drew you to this man in the first place so you won't repeat that pattern of attraction. Some women are attracted to very bad boys and they pay a high price for thinking they can "change" them into wonderful, caring mates. It never works out that way. Some men are just bad and it's best to spot them before you get involved and run the other way. I wish you the best.

Look in the mirror, and be happy with what you see. That takes time. Don't be in a rush to get back into a relationship just yet. Take a few months, and figure out what makes you happy. When you know what makes you happy, find someone who shares the same things...
