It’s over! The relationship ended long ago, but you just can’t forget your ex-boyfriend. You keep going over your time together in your head—what’s left is heartache. We’ll show you how to finally get your ex out of your head.
The end of a relationship is never nice, no matter why the love ended and how long two people shared their lives. While some people get over the end of their relationship more quickly and are happy again, other people need a long time to be able to move on from their ex-relationship. We’ll tell you what you can do if the pain just won’t go away.
Breaking off contact
Even though you’ve been separated for a long time, are you still in regular contact? Unfortunately, your ex won’t disappear from your heart or your head. You should therefore stop calling him, stop writing to him, and—as harsh as it may sound—block him on Facebook and the like. Until you’re completely over him, you should completely shut him out of your life so that you don’t keep being confronted with the past.
Stay realistic
Many women start to idealize their exes after the breakup. He was the right one, the man without flaws, the one who was simply perfect. Stop! Stop praising your ex-boyfriend to the skies and be realistic. Don’t just think about the positive moments, but also about all the hurt and problems you had in the relationship.
Enjoy the time
Get rid of the idea that you can only be truly happy in a relationship. It’s nice to have someone by your side, but you should still enjoy your life as a single person. So get out of your cave: meet friends, discover new or old hobbies, and do what you want. If you realize that you can have fun without a partner, then it will be easier to get over your ex.
Your relationship ended a long time ago and you just can’t forget your ex? That’s over now! Take our three tips to heart and you’ll see that you’ll soon be able to look forward again.
