Why do I keep randomly thinking about my ex girlfriend?

Question - (20 February 2008) 5 Answers - (Newest, 25 February 2008)
A male United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I've been apart from my ex girlfriend for a long time now. Nearly a year. But it still doesn't take much for my mind to wander back to her. I was driving today, and while I'm sat in the car with nobody to talk to, and only the radio to listen to my mind tends to trail off and just remember things. I started think about the most random incidences that occurred while we were together. I thought about one of her birthdays where I got her a game, and I began thinking "Does she think of me when she plays that game". Same when I thought about when we'd watch a TV show together: If she watches that show, does it remind me of her.

I've been suffering for a while, where everything reminds me of her. Sometimes even things that are more relevant to myself still make me think of her. That game for example. It was a game I had and really liked and I introduced it to her... Now I can't help but think of her when I play it. Surely it should be the other way around?

Please give any advice you can. Cheers.

Hi hun, I think it's nice that you have these happy memories of her. But at the end of the day, that's all they are - memories. People come in and out of your life for a reason, whatever that might be, be happy that you have taken something pleasant away from it. I have a particular ex that I was quite serious with, a lot of things remind me of him, and it cheers me up to think of the good times. Nothing wrong with remembering happy times. Best of luck for the future xx

I have this same problem- I dumped her because she has MANY problems, but I am always finding I miss her.

You have to come to realize why you left her, or why you broke up.

Also, get a new girlfriend ;-)

AskEve agony auntYou don't say how you and her split up but you are obviously still very fond of her. You have a history together and it's natural that you will think of her from time to time, especially when you see something that reminds you of her.

When did you last speak to her? Are you still in touch? What is she doing just now, is she with anyone else? She might be thinking of you too... Depending how you broke up there wouldn't be anything wrong in sending her an email to say it's been almost a year and she came into your mind, how is she doing etc etc. You have nothing to lose by doing that and if there's still anything there then emailing her might put a spark to it again.

LouLee agony auntAww, sounds like you're in the same situation as me, i always think of my boyfriend when it comes to our favourite tv programme etc. It's annoying huh?!

Maybe you just crave to have a girlfriend again..but not necessarily her. x
