writes: Me and my ex broke up about 8 months ago, it was a messy breakup, but it wouldn't work out anymore so it had to be done. We weren't in a healthy relationship, but she was my first girlfriend, and we also did our 'first times' together... We were together for a year.Now I'm with this amazing girl that amazes me in every way possible. She's just perfect for me. We always communicate, always work out small fights so they don't turn into big ones, and always get along! She's just.. Perfect! I've only been going out with her for about a month and a half, but everything feels right with her!My problem is, I still find it hard thinking of my current girlfriend. I find myself thinking instead of my ex, when I don't want to! I hate my ex, for everything she did, how much she put me through.. I just want to forget her, but my mind won't let me! Why is that? The other night I was typing in MSN to my current girlfriend and when I was typing out something along the lines of "I'll see you tomorrow *insert name here*" I started typing my ex's name instead of hers by accident! I didn't send it, I stopped and erased it of course, but it freaked me out...I don't want this thought of my ex every once and a while to ruin things with her, I want to treat her right, and be with her, not my ex. I'm afraid to bring this issue of mine up to her because I don't want her to think that I'm lying about the feelings I have for her, because I'm not.Why can't I erase the memory of my ex from my mind? Will it go away eventually, or is it just going to haunt me? It's almost like my mind got used to her as my girlfriend, and now it's having trouble switching to someone new..Any help would be appreciated!!!

I have accidentally called my current girlfriend by my ex's name, and she did get upset about it, but that has only happened one time.
