I keep waking up thinking of my ex girlfriend of about 6 months ago. We were together on and off for five and a half years. I think I'm still harbouring feelings for her. What could this mean and what can I do to address these thoughts of someone who is really no longer in my life?

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

It may be obsessive behaviour but that doesn't mean I have an obsessive personality. Obsessive behaviour can be changed. I'm looking for ways of changing the behaviour, not my personality. Perhaps one way is to create more activity for myself. Another way might be to tell her my thoughts.

I do still love her. I'm not in a relationship now but she is, and apparently a good one at that from what she tells her friends. Perhaps that helps explain my thoughts about her. We haven't spoken since she started her new relationship so I don't know for sure what her relationship is like. I last tried contacting her at New Year but got no response, which is why I'm thinking of pushing through my feelings for her and starting a new chapter, hard as it might be.

Thanks to Emilyanswers and the two anonymous posters for your feedback - it helps to have a dialogue because it allows some objectivity.

It might mean nothing it might mean you want to get in touch with her and see if she wants to give it another go.

Only you can know how you feel.

Give her a ring and see how she is doing.

You might remember how much you liked her or you might realise you did the right thing by breaking up with her.

Good Luck!! xx

Do you still love her? Are you seeing anyone else? Is she seeing anyone else? When is the last time you spoke to her?
