Further in the video, Esther indicated that she was reluctant to open up to Eric in the beginning due to her painful encounter with her past boyfriend.

"He later took my number and called on several occasions, but I didn't answer his calls. He asked me out one day, and I disappointed him. The second time, I wanted to disappoint [him] but I just said let me honour this invitation. So I was even late, I think, about two hours."

Take care of yourself after a breakup

Speaking exclusively to YEN.com.gh, a relationship coach Mr Love the Coach (MLTC), shared some tips on how to get over a heartbreak. He advised against falling immediately in love after a heartbreak.

"When you're brokenhearted, it is called a crisis. Broken heart syndrome is a crisis. So, when you are in crisis, the first thing to do is acknowledge that this is a crisis. This is painful. Acknowledge the pain and the emotions that come with it. Don't fight the emotions. Don't try to be hard or strong. Cry when you have to cry. So allow yourself to grieve. Don't feel like a fool. Like, if you are grieving or crying, you're feeling pain. Don't feel like a fool. It's ok. It's important to grieve. Give yourself the time to feel and process the emotions that come with a breakup. Grieving is a natural part of healing. If you don't do that, you will store up.

"Cry, weep, like just let it go, and the grieving process for everybody is different. It takes time for a lot of people. The times are different. So we can't say grief for one month, grief for one week, grief for two weeks. No, allow yourself to grieve and allow the process to take you. This is not the period or the time to fall in love again. You don't fall in love or look for somebody else to touch you within this period. No, no, no, no, no, no. You’ll make terrible mistakes,” he said.
