The only way to move on from a relationship...

is to delete all traces of the person who broke your heart. These days, that's easier said than done. This isn't 1984 - we can't just walk away from someone and be done with it.

Why? The glorious world of social media.

Whether it be a friend or an ex partner, cutting off from someone is practically impossible but achievable. We just have to remember the reason why we broke off from them in the first place and to remember how you felt at the time you called it a day.  Remember that - and no matter what you experienced together, just remember how you felt at the end. There is after all a reason why you didn't work out. In fact while you still feel that way, delete their number, texts messages, your call lists and then the tricky part - call your friends and tell them that you have split from your partner and ask them to remove the person from their Facebook friends list.

It's all about damage limitation - everything has an echo, just by looking at it we are reminded of a memory, a moment when you and your partner were happy and together and bought it - whether it be  a picture, a plant, a piece of clothing, a book, a cushion or even something as silly as something in the fridge.

Pack it in a bag and throw it all out.

Move on and be happy - but this cannot be achieved if you hold onto mementos. There's nothing worse than calling a ex after a few drinks and then regretting it in the morning.

'The power in all relationships lies with the person who cares less' - a phrase said by the character Connor Mead in the movie Ghosts of Girlfriend Past.

In truth - power lies with those who you have just contacted because you couldn't let them go.
