When will I stop thinking about my ex?

sometimes you are better off without the person you think you need the most..Start a new chapter..Take him/her out of the picture..you can do it without him/her..It's going to hurt but when you realise the pain is gone you will be in a happier place :)

When you decide to. It's easy to think about your ex if you're still connected with him/her on social networks or in real life. Distance yourself. Also, you can decide to stop thinking about your ex by doing other productive/fun things in your life. Switch your thoughts to something else when you catch yourself thinking about your ex. If you want to just lessen the pain however, you can think about your ex in a positive light, i.e. what things you liked about him/her, but keep in mind that you did break up for a reason. Also, I believe that time is still needed in recovering from breakups, but how much time differs from person to person. However, you can make it shorter if you choose to.

When you will find the right thing in your life. Thinking about ex is like being in past world and wasting time and energy. Accepting leads the path way!

Dont try to stop thinking about your ex try to start thinking about them as a part of your past that you have learned from.

If you love them, then I would say never. You never stop thinking about them and that isn't a bad thing. You had something special, embrace it, be thankful and move on, there is a reason they are now your ex.

It depends on how deep your bond is. For me personally, it took 7 years, simply because he meant the world for me. My thoughts on him were about "what if's." But one day, I just accepted that the past can't be repeated, and I realized that either your past will hold you down or you can be grateful that you found a love worth experiencing and move on. Every partner in your life will hold something dear to you, but with every passing person, be aware that they leave a present for you to be one step closer to be the best person you can shape yourself to be. Ex's are lessons. I believe they helped you get one step closer to also find someone else who is more compatible to you.

well i got over my ex by realizing i deserved better. For me it was all about self respect, which i didn't have before.

These things takes time and effort. Keeping yourself busy and going forward is a good way to start. Forgive him and let him go.

Sigh. This is a million dollar question. Look at the origin of the thought, i.e. think of what makes you think of your ex and get over it. Time helps you heal. Good luck :D

When you start seeing the benefits of moving on. When you start believing in your capabilities and start hoping and planning for future

when you are busy with something else you will forget about her like a new hobby or a sport or maybe a releationship

You will stop thinking about your ex when you choose to. You control your thoughts and your actions. Moving on can be hard to do, but it can be done.

It all depends. Time heals all wounds but once you have found something to distract yourself, it will become a lot easier. Surround yourself with objects or people that make you feel happy.

when you have the new one. You keep thinking back about your ex, because you are unhappy right now. So when you find the new one, you will be happy and forget about the old one.

It's really hard to say. You might never will at all. You can move on, and have learnt to love yourself better or maybe even be with someone new at some point in the future. But there always will be something that will trigger the memories of an ex. You can, however, try to treat yourself, love yourself more as you go. It might help with the process a little more.

Ussualy takes around 6 months or for you to meet someone else or cept the fact that it didnt work out so it is over.

2 years with love. 2 months without. it is just this short. there is no way of expanding on this. if you love someone it hurts. but the feeling of being betrayed is the best way to move on.

There's no specific dates or rules. But you'll start to feel it gets easier once you accept that you need to let go and/or continue with your daily life normally with or without the ex. Eventually time will fix everything. Finding replacement or a rebound also helps distract you (Not ideal, I wouldn't exact recommend hurting other people though but it's proven to ease for me.)

It must be hard going through a break up. Try to distract yourself with other things. If you need support please feel free to make conversation with me.

When you are ready to move on. And sometimes a that doesn't happen for a while but that's okay. Some people get more attached than others.

Answering this question very simply, one never does! Let's face it, no breakup is a pleasant thing. Often we don't even have a choice in the breakup... However, every one of us have a choice in how we deal with a breakup. It's good to mourn the person and the breakup. It's cleansing. We all know the politics of a breakup and this is for another time. My philosophy is there is always reason. Look from within. I also believe that exes are actually good for one. We grow from these experiences, whether they were positive or negative. In the throws of heartache, frustration and agony, we don't always "get" this. It hurts. Yet, as time passes the pain does lessen. We can gain perspective. With perspective we gain insight. With insight, we grow and become more conscious. Aware of our own shortcomings, which we do have control over and making choices how to overcome the breakup; and gaining strength from it. When we do meet a great person who has the potential to become a wonderful partner, the exes we have accumulated on our life journey are the ones who helped in finding this wonderful person who ticks all the boxes. Look over the years, think about some of the exes you did have, you will either smile or shudder at the thought of still being with them now. There may well may have been one we harbour a little regret over, but that's okay. It shows one's growth and maturity. Love is a wonderful conscious choice, in my opinion. We can think with love and good memories. Wish them happiness, despite some hurt, and let go. Trust yourself and your spiritual higher power to find a more respectful and wonderful love with another.

Whenever you find someone else to give your love to...when you go grocery shopping...when you are eating a good meal you will find yourself engaging your senses.

Here are some useful tips- 1. First things first: Stop acting like your ex was God’s gift to men. She wasn't perfect. If we’re being honest, she probably wasn't even close. Make a list of her annoying traits whatever you have to do -- just take her off that pedestal. 2. Don't Contact Her : Unfriend her on Facebook. Delete all her messages. Dispose off all the gifts she might have given you(if any). Burn that overly romantic appearing card she sent you. If she doesn't need you, you sure don't need any of her reminder either. After you’ve gotten closer, don’t contact her. Go cold turkey. Seriously. This may appear terribly cruel, but this is the best for you. Maybe you said some crap about trying to stay friends, maybe you made some idiot vow to “always be there for each other,” but forget it. By staying in touch with your ex, you’re asking for months (if not years) of on-again-off-again uncertainty. So, throw out her phone number, stop texting her and unfriend her on Facebook. Imagine how freaked out you'll be the first time you see some strange dude in her profile picture, and you'll see why a clean break is essential. 3. Work Out : Now that you’re single, I suggest hitting the gym or taking a jog. It’s a healthy way to work out all of that post-breakup frustration. Getting in shape is also a good way to boost your self-esteem. 4. Hang Out With Your Friends : One of the things you had to sacrifice when in a committed relationship was time with your friends. Have fun with your friends, go watch a movie, a road trip,play FIFA, CS all night long. Enjoy your new self. 5. Remember The Bad Times: Remember how she avoided you. How she had the time to go out with her friends for late night parties or to trips, but lacked 10 minutes for a phone call to your number. Recall how miserable you felt at being the mercy of someone's attention. That guy who keeps putting his cover photo with your "girlfriend". Remember how cold she reacted when you said you are coming to visit her in her city. Remember you told her friend (guy) that you were together and she calls you up saying not to disclose your relationship to anyone. You don't need that. You don't need someone in your life who doesn't want to be there. Forgive but never forget. Here's a lesson life teaches- That people will leave you. Often without any reason. That you will leave people. That one moment it will be so real but will soon be a distant memory. That memories will fade. That life will go on. Without apologizing. Hope this helps. Been there, done that.

You will forget eventually it just takes time just focus on other things and eventually it will fade.

You will stop thinking about your ex when you finally find something that occupies that area of your mind. Be it painting, walking, reading, etc, once you find something that makes you happy you will forget about him/her.

Your heart needs time to heal. Everyone heals at their own pace and in their own time. Take this time to reflect on yourself to be able to best deal with your emotions.

I feel that this is something that changes person to person, situation to situation. If it was an especially painful breakup it could take longer, but in time all things fade. I have found that by reclaiming my life, doing things I love, and being with people who care for and support me this transition was far easier to manage.

It is almost impossible to break up and have no thoughts about your ex. You had been together and got used of each others company over time, and it will also take time to get used of being apart. You have to retrain your way of thinking about being separated, and try to think of the good things about being single and all the good things about yourself. Write a list of these things to help take your mind off him. You are important and you need to work on valuing yourself more than what you value your ex. Over time it does get easier.

When you build up the strength and courage to realize you are courageous and are better without them.

the time u start to believe his was just a mistake but he helped you gained an experience to start up better and fresh
