Parting ways in a relationship can be messy, and a guy on TikTok recommended that when couples break up, they should stay single for two months in case they want to get back together. At the very least, they should stay single during this "window period" to give the other partner ample time to move on. He says in the video:
"Let me not see you tomorrow with someone else. Respect me! I might not love you anymore, but I should still be the love of your life..."
Netizens had mixed reactions to this dude's window period suggestion, and while some thought this should be a universal rule, other TikTok users believed moving on swiftly is the way to go.

"I wish my ex-girlfriend can see this, she moved on while I was still mourning our breakup. 3 weeks umntu is moving on."

"Women replace you 3 months before the break-up! They've been waiting for you to mess up so it can be your fault."
Filwe Lebone suggested:
"That’s why it is always important to actually go through an emotional “break-up” before an actual break-up."

Previously, Briefly News reported that a man showed Mzansi that he is not one to be messed with. Online user @Shonny_SA took to social media to share how he took back a wig he had bought for his now ex-girlfriend following their breakup.
He also shared a photo of himself proudly holding the hairpiece as evidence of his previous tweet and of a mission accomplished. Ouch! One can only imagine how the young woman must have felt during the handover.
