That&#8217;s a real b*tch.  Here are 9 ways Beirut constantly reminds you of your ex.  <b>1. Their parents still message you.<\/b>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c.tenor.com\/2y9F1s98PQoAAAAd\/avengers-black-widow.gif\" width=\"70%\">  Receiving <i>&#8220;Saba7 el wared&#8221;<\/i> pictures every single morning from the woman who birthed your ex-partner won&#8217;t particularly help you get over them.  <b>2. Everyone asks about them, all the time.<\/b>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c.tenor.com\/BoqfEAlyR7cAAAAC\/dorinda-medley-not-well.gif\" width=\"70%\">  From the dekkanje to the natour, everyone is gonna be like, &#8220;wen hal benet yaly betdal ma3ek? Salmeele 3alaya&#8221;.  <b>3. You run into them nonstop.<\/b>  Especially since there are only a handful of spots left in the city.  <b>4. The banking crisis forced you to share a Netflix account.<\/b>  <b>5. If you want to go to the beach in Beirut, you will most definitely run into them.<\/b>  You know, since there are a total of 3 beaches in the city.  <b>6. You escape to Batroun, only to bump into them.<\/b>  And you thought you were so slick.  <b>7. Friends will invite you to the same hang outs because they have not gotten the memo yet.<\/b>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media2.giphy.com\/media\/xUOwGe4TrlzB8pc304\/giphy-downsized-large.gif\" width=\"70%\">  <b>8.

Sheer probability.<\/b>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media3.giphy.com\/media\/DHqth0hVQoIzS\/giphy.gif\" width=\"70%\">  There are three places to drink\/dine in Beirut: Mar Mikhael, Badaro, and Hamra.
