I compare my new interests with my ex

Question - (31 March 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 31 March 2009)
A female United States age 36-40, *eachblossom writes:

I have a problem. I was with a man on and off for about 5 years, and he was different that any man I've met before or since then. We broke up officially a few months ago, actually I broke up with him, and he is now dating someone else. I am happy for him, although I hate the idea of him with someone else. I want to be happy and dating as well...but I find myself comparing every man I meet to him! I need to know how to stop doing this. Maybe I just haven't met the right man who can interest me like he did, or maybe I'm still healing from the break-up, but I just can't seem to get my mind off of him. I truly believe that we were both better suited for other people, and I know that we broke up for good reasons...but why can't I stop comparing him to new men that I meet?

I've been through this before I think maybe u compare other guys to him because u were with him so long. U guys had a bond and ur just use to him. When u find someone u really really like u will except him and c all the reasons why ur not with ur ex anymore. Goodluck
