Determined to move on, but I still always think of her!

A male United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Determined to move on from my ex, but I'm finding it hard.

I keep telling myself that I will find somebody better, and I'm starting to believe that more than I used to. But anytime I so much as hear somebody with the same name as her, hear a place we visited together, or especially if I see a photo of her, I feel this sink in my chest. I know that might sound weird, but I honestly feel this... sinking is really the only word I can use to describe it. It like something inside me suddenly quivers with fear.

I worry about her moving on and finding somebody new and better than me. Part of me still doesn't believe she can do that, but then, that surely means she has no reason I could do that either. It's like I want her to be happy, but I want to be happier than her.

Please help me. I have had a very good week. I've gone out, partied, interacted with some cute girls... But yet my ex is always there in the back of my mind, waiting for me to think of her. And when I do think of her, she's suddenly ALL I can think about, and I have to stop.

natnatxxx agony auntDont worry about it. This happened to me.

When i broke up with someone i really loved, i kept remebering the times we spent together.

Slowly after the time i started thinking about them less and less, and the feelings faded away.

Yet whenever i did think about them and feel about them, i'd get a tingling feeling all over like i used to when we were together.

After time this should fade off.

Keep yourself busy, keep on thinking positive.

And things should eventually be ok :)

I know its waaaaayyyy more complicated than what it seems. But wouldn't it be easier to tell her that you still love her? Is that even an option? It sounds to me like you're trying to move on, when you heart is telling you otherwise. Listen to you heart. Trust your emotions. If you don't want to see her move on, then do not let it happen. TELL HER HOW U FEEL!!!
