20 texts to send to your best friend after a breakup:

1. So… am I allowed to trash-talk them now? Because I’ve got a list, and it’s organized alphabetically AND by level of petty.
2. Maybe this hurts right now, but I know for a fact they weren’t on your level. I mean, they never even tried to understand your Grey’s Anatomy obsession.
3. So, what’s the plan? World domination or just another pint of Ben & Jerry’s?
4. I’m here with wine, chocolate, and questionable life advice. Let’s get this party started.
5. Well, at least you’ll have more time to binge-watch the new season of Love Is Blind.
6. What’s the vibe tonight? Are we binge-eating ice cream and snacks or burning everything they ever gave you?
7. You’re a diamond and they’re a Cubic Zirconia. They could never shine as bright as you do.
8. So, you’re single again? Congrats on the promotion!
9. Sending you virtual hugs and a box of tissues (and maybe some snacks). We’ll get through this together, one Netflix binge at a time.
10. I’m officially hiring myself as your personal therapist, life coach, and professional wine-pourer.

11. Gosh, I’m so sorry your ex is single again.
12. You know, they say heartbreak is a gift. So, happy early Christmas!
13. I’m so sorry your fairy tale romance turned into an A24 horror film.
14. I’m so sorry your ex is such a total loser. I’m sure they’ll find someone who appreciates their unique qualities.
15. Well, at least you don’t have to worry about buying them a Christmas present anymore.
16. I’m here if you need anything, I have three pints of ice cream ready in my freezer.
17. Yay! More wine nights for us!
18. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and I’m pretty sure a heartbreak counts.
19. Not everyone can handle your amazingness. What a loser.
20. I just cleared my schedule and I am here to listen to you complain about your ex for the next few weeks. Or months. Or years.

Humor is the best medicine, and sometimes, a well-timed joke can be the perfect antidote to heartbreak. Your friend may appreciate the laughter, even if they don’t want to admit it. Just remember, while a good laugh can help, always be there for your best friends. Offer them a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear, and, of course, unlimited supplies of ice cream and snacks. Because let’s face it, sometimes the best way to heal a broken heart is with a good friend and a spoonful of Ben & Jerry’s.
