HOW TO GET OVER YOUR EX

Getting over an ex isn't easy. Living with the memory of your ex can be a pretty painful and frustrating thing to deal with. When a relationship ends, it's tempting to dwell on what you did wrong or what you could have done differently. All dwelling does is cause you to suffer. Unfortunately, there is no magical pill or potion that can help you feel whole and normal again after you’ve experienced a painful breakup. 

It can be really hard to accept that you've lost someone you love. However, acceptance is the first step to really healing the pain that you're feeling. 

Stop sleeping with your ex. He's sleeping with you because you're willing, not because he's thinking about getting back together. By sleeping with your ex, you're under the impression that this is the answer to get him back. What you're getting is false hope, confusion, and emotional chaos.

Stop being friends. Do you really want to hear about who he's dating? If you can truthfully say  you have absolutely no emotional attachment at all, and it doesn't hurt one bit, knock yourself out. But, in the beginning, when you're still hurting and grieving, cut your ties completely. You need the space.

Don't get string along. Your ex may send you mixed signals or keep being undecided about what he wants. He may be a master at giving you one glimmer of hope that sooner or later he'll want to be with you, but in the meantime it's your heart thats being abused, neglected and disrespected.


Know that you are not alone on this journey. You think you're the only one who has ever felt hurt like that? That's not true. You will get over him/her. Time is a great healer. Do not get back with this person, if you feel that all this person does is hurt you.



When you're feeling lower than low, one of the greatest things you can do is work on improving yourself. Do things that make you feel better about yourself. Being proactive is a great way to speed up the healing and gain new self-esteem and confidence.

Most importantly, you shouldn't forget why the two of you broke up. Stop and think realistically about why you're better off without him and think back to the not-so good times will remind you of why you didn't work out as a couple in the first place and will help you move on.

Go out with friends and have fun, it will help you forget (at least temporary) about your breakup.

The only thing that will heal you is time. It is the only thing that will heal you completely. Give yourself enough time to grieve.
