I'm struggling to move on from ex

[Hulahoops88]

It's been 6 months now and I'm embarrassed to say but I'm stilll obsessed with my ex. It's led to petty online stalking to checking my email by the off chance she has contacted me. I have tried all the cliche tips to move on I.e dating other girls and no contact etc. It's just not getting my mind off her. I'm not sure what action I can take that will help me fully move on?!

Your phone, email, FB, all have a function called 'block'. Use it.

Yeah, don't stalk social media. I'm going through a break up and it's been a little over 2 months. The first month was HELL, but it just gets easier. I haven't stopped thinking about him, but I now have more of an accepting look on it. Continue the NC, do not social media stalk, and be accepting of the situation. If you guys are meant to be it'll happen, it might not be your time. But you also have to accept that you guys might never get back together. Stay occupied too.

Just wanted to say that I feel ya. I'm a little past three months, and I don't foresee the pain ever ending. I glanced back super quickly at some of your previous threads, and it seems that this relationship and the one prior to it ended because you feared commitment? That's why mine ended, because he was a commitment-phobe. But he immediately jumped into a full-on relationship with someone else (a married woman, disgustingly enough) and it kills me every day thinking of them together. I don't really have any advice since I haven't made much progress myself, despite all the wonderful advice and support I've received here. I just wanted to say that I empathize. I think some of us just obsess more than others.

 

I hope you'll learn a lesson here, though. It seems you've lost two girls because of commitment issues (if I read correctly), and sorely regretted both losses. I'm sure both girls were deeply hurt by your lack of commitment, and finally decided they'd had enough pain and needed to move on. Maybe work out your issues before you hurt anyone else (and yourself) again.
