Why can't i stop thinking about my ex?

I have a bf rn but I still think of my ex constantly, everything reminds me of him even my own house. it's starting to become more of a problem cause I sometimes distance my self from my current bf and it causes fights, I really do like my current bf but I still hurts to think about the fact that maybe my ex and I could have been something more. what should I do?

hi. I'm sorry you are going through this. But first thing I think you should tell this to your current boyfriend. I know it's difficult. You should work on yourself and really ask what you want. If your ex doesn't respect you, then he doesn't love you. You should grief the ex and let go. Bcs you might lose a real one..

you actually want your ex back, or are you holding onto the “what it could’ve been” version of them?

I think im more holding onto the what if could've been cause we really could have been something more

i won’t lie, staying while your heart is split like this just drags it out.

ugh this is messy in a real way… i dated someone while still stuck on my ex and it felt exactly like this, being there but not fully THERE. i kept comparing everything in my head and it slowly ruined something that could’ve been good

@kenzsantiago him blocking you with no communication shows you there genuinely couldn’t have been anything more between you two. I know it’s not easy but you’ve gotta accept that it’s over. it’s not healthy to grieve a past relationship while in a new happy one. it’s not fair to you or your partner
