how did you know you are over your ex?

5 comments

1. when I found out about all the inappropriate behaviour he’s been exhibiting towards other women since I broke up with him.

   nothing makes you lose feelings faster than finding out someone’s a total creep as well as a cheater.

2. Well, there’s the two boyfriends I actually felt relieve when we broke up, so those were obvious.

   But I have also felt so heartbroken after one guy. We only dated for two or three months, and it took a lot longer to move past it. Not sure if there was one specific moment I knew I was over him – it was a process. I just didn’t allow myself to be in touch with him anymore, I started to text family and friends things I otherwise would’ve told him, made it a point to undertake activities with new people. And slowly I started think about him less, or feel less pain if I did and was able to look back on “us” with warmth instead of grieve.

3. When the only time you thought of them was when a friend asked “so how have you been since you and said person broke up”.

4. You cringe at their photos.

5. when I don’t feel angry or upset when I think of them sometimes 🙂
