Love is great, and we can’t help but go “awww” at the cute things people in love do. So we understand being invested in relationships you know only because of the internet, especially the ones on Big Brother. For context, Yvonne and Juicy Jay from Big Brother Titans broke up yesterday. Like all good things, they’ve come to an end, and you have to move on from a relationship that’s not even yours. Don’t worry sha, we’ve got you.

Reminisce on the good times

You were rooting for them for a reason. Try not to think about the fact that their relationship is done, and instead focus on all the premium relationship banter they gave on the timeline and all the cute pictures they shared on the timeline.

Mourn the relationship in private 

Please, try not to cry more than the bereaved. Don’t go wailing on the timeline or asking questions that have nothing to do with you. You can cry, but only on the inside.

If you’re going to pick sides, do it with sense

They’ve broken up, but you don’t have the heart to let both of them go and, that’s okay. You’re allowed to pick sides, just do it without throwing dirt on the other person’s name and dragging them like you had a stake in the first place.

Remember, you don’t actually know them

Yes, it felt like you knew every detail of their love life, but you need to remember that you don’t actually know them. You can’t afford to invest too much time and energy in their break up.

Resist the urge to be a monitoring spirit

As tempting as it is, don’t stalk their pages to see if they’ve moved on or if are subbing each other, or if they’ve gotten back together. You should always mind the business that pays you.

Block both parties

Remember that you don’t know them in real life, so you can always just block or mute them if it all gets too much for you.

 Face your front

After all is said and done, remember that it isn’t your life. You have your own relationships, finances, and KPIs to focus on, so face front.
