How to forget your ex?

65% Normal
12 Comments

Nearly two years ago, my boyfriend and I broke up. He was a cheater and it was for the best. We haven't really talked since then, just the courtesy happy birthday, merry xmas texts.

I have a new boyfriend now (for the past 4 months), and I like him, but whenever I don't see him for a week (because of his work), I realise I still think of my ex. I wouldn't go back to him, he's a cheater! But I still like him, I really do. I want him. I wish he appeared on my door.

Do you have any ideas of how to forget him for good?

    Time heals all wounds. Stop the texts. Delete him from social media. Etc.

    I wish there was a pill for that. 2 years is a long time. I think you need to stop idolising your ex in head and letting the memories obscure the fact that he was a cheater. My dear, you may have wonderful thoughts of him.. sometimes the bad boyfriends aren't always horrible and you find yourself clinging to the memory of their positive aspects. This guy has no place in your head, bit by bit he will cease to occupy that space it's up to you.

    Also, is this current boyfriend the one for you, the person you're with is supposed to make you feel so content and happy so much so consuming thoughts of exs don't pop up. Think about it.

      He didn't have a place in my head for a few months now, but I recently saw a few pictures and stuff and hes back in my mind again, and it freaks me out cause i can't go back to where i was before, i was feeling utterly miserable.

        I can totally relate to this. It's the memories that makes you feel down and then you try as much as you can to "not go back there". I was doing well the past few days but I thought of him today and it was such a vivid memory I feel like I'm sinking back to that space and I'm freaking out.

        I'm going to try to keep busy, try that too. Whatever works to not go back there. Fuck! It's SO hard!

    No more stupid "courtesy texts". Your ex is your ex for a reason.

    You are cheating on your new BF. If only mentally.
    Give him a break and leave him.
