Thinking about my ex, is it normal?

Just over a year ago, I broke up with a guy who I was in a relationship with, that lasted a VERY long time. I was completely in love with him, and I had never ever felt that way about anyone before, or since. He was my first 'proper' boyfriend (Iv'e been out with guys before, but none of them lasted that long, nor did I feel the same as I did with 'my ex')Recently, I have had a crush on this guy, and we have been in a relationship since Valentines day. I keep thinking about my ex boyfriend. I am not saying that I still have feelings for him at all, I got over him a very long time ago. I'm just finding it very difficult to be in a different relationship now, after my other relationship. I keep thinking about all the good times, and the little things he did that made me smile. I can't help but think how stupid I'm being right now - I actually have the chance to be with someone so much better than my ex boyfriend, I have the chance to be happy finally, after so long. Why do I feel this way?

  • i think that when you are in a new relationship that your mind always goes back to the previous one, and all the good times you had. you always compare.

    but then just think, why is it that the first relationship broke up? just try to concentrate on the bad things about it. then you can try a new start with your new boyfriend. either that or try staying by yourself for a little while?

    it sounds too me like your not actually over you ex, and you may need a little me time.

    the new guy will give you plenty of memories to replace the memories of your ex :) since you said you were in that old relationship for a long time though, it's very normal to feel a bit strange in a new one. it's kinda like moving to a new city. you'll get comfortable soon enough. patience :]
