It happens but it's now unfair on the other person that you are with and still thinking about your ex

yeah its never fair so I detached and started focusing on myself completely and its been great. i haven't been seeing anyone, just trying sometimes to see if im ready and when I realize im not ready then I keep continuing to work on myself

healing takes time, if I were you I wouldn’t date until I’m over it. its hurtful yes, but honestly over time you’ll detach from her

im over it and im just focusing on moving on with my life its just that there feels like zero options still and it makes me think of her

@MooDrip Baby that means you aren’t over her yet, one day you’ll realise how young you are and if it was meant to be and she was the only one for you, then she’d be with you now. but she isn’t and you need to realise that

when you think about her now, does it feel more like sadness, longing, regret, or just a habit that's hard to break?

a little bit of longing maybe? I've moved on but when it comes to new girls I just haven't connected with any like I did with her

i still thought about my ex more than a year later, even after dating someone else. for me it wasn't that i wanted her back, it was that i hadn't fully let go of what i thought we'd be.
