Realize you miss ur ex after months of being over it

Why mention that you're a straight male? Straight people can mourn breakups too. You're completely normal for not being over her.

Edit: I see you edited your post explaining. No ones going to see your username unless you reveal yourself.

Do you think the quarantine could have brought this on? I’ve noticed a lot of people recently getting wistful over exes and flirting with the idea of reaching out after being left alone with their thoughts.

I cried once the day after we broke up, that was until a black Labrador came by wagging its tale, so I had to play fight it. Just like that I was cured. Never got upset again and I always will remember one of them bitches

I wrote this in another section based on the same topic and I feel it fits here too :)

you never forget about those you were with. They were in some way a piece of you. You invested in them. It's okay to miss them. What isn't okay is getting back together again. Regardless of what happens it's important you both learn from things and move forward. People sometimes just don't click no matter how badly you want them to. One of the most common things found about people who breakup is that they confuse missing the person with missing the memories, experiences and general safety they felt from said relationship. The person is the cause of the breakup, what was felt in that time is what's missed. Those feelings can and will be felt again in time. With an end to a relationship comes the opportunity to learn from it, what you want, what you need, what to improve upon, and more. A day will come when you'll meet someone that brings you those same feelings (if not better) and clicks with you unlike that of any other you've been with :) . In the meantime, all we can do is live, learn and grow

Yes.

I read somewhere it takes the average person 18 months to get over a breakup.
