7 Deadly Sins for Breakups: A Sin & Story List

Tracy substituted food for love when Shawn left her on that midnight train to Quebec. Depression had her by the throat but that didn’t stop her from overeating.
But Tracy was a creative girl…
GLUTTONY – One of the Seven Deadly Sins




Sin is not only for the non-religious, it’s for everyone! You may have some sin in your soul and not even know it!

Last week I wrote about The Seven Deadly Sins and now I am going to show you how one small, bad thing can find itself masquerading as a sin on that famous list. Breakup Cocktail: 5 Parts Laughter, 1 Part Healing and a Twist of Revenge has tales of all of the sins, plus some that didn’t even make the list.

Here is a “Sin and a Story” list, which is a little like “Dinner and a Movie,” and just as satisfying as an appetizer for the Breakup Cocktail.

Let’s start with the most obvious-


LUST
This is the only real scandalous sin. After lust, it’s all downhill.

Marc became obsessed with a foxy lady who rode the early morning bus along with him every workday. He lusted after her and couldn’t drive her out of his mind. How did Marc deal with his lustful obsession? Well, as we all know, the stepping stone from lust to cheating is opportunity.
Did opportunity poke Marc in the ribs and offer itself? Or did Foxy? Or was Marc able to control his passions? I’m not telling. You’ll have to read Marc’s tale, along with other tales that contain more than seven sins, in Breakup Cocktail.

ENVY
Are you miserable and wretched after your breakup and are you jealous of the happy people all around you? Would making them miserable render you happy? It might. Read one of the several tales about jealousy and you will find some inspiration, or even payback.

GREED
What makes some people feel better after a breakup? Catching up on lost time. Some people think that they are owed one-night stands after being in a relationship for too long, and they go out and hunt for a good time.

Read the tale of our hero Jack, who gets a little out of control by jumping on the casual sex bandwagon.

ANGER
You and your ex broke up and now you are angry at everyone. When Faith’s bank called her at work, the rage simmered up and spilled all over her desk and she didn’t care who saw it. What can you do to quell the rage that just won’t calm down? Faith’s tale has an energetic but calming ending.

PRIDE
After a breakup, we want to make our ex as miserable as possible by looking our best. We are telling the world “Look how good I look without him! He doesn’t deserve someone like me.” Now and again this scheme can misfire like it did for Zoe, when she unexpectedly met Liam at the local car wash. But she was already holding a grudge the size of a large rock.

SLOTH

Janet was not usually a lazy person, but she didn’t want to leave her house after her breakup. It was too easy to sit on the couch, eat fast food and not bother to shower. Sadness had made her lazy and she began to thrive on it. Sometimes it takes a shock to make you realize that it’s time to face the outside world again.

So if you like short tales, a shot of advice and a bucket of sin with your breakup, don’t hesitate to click here to dig into a basket of Breakup Cocktail sin, with 5 Parts Laughter, 1 Part Healing and a Twist of Revenge on the side.
