Still scrolling through his social media page, looking at his post photos? You can't help but think about how things used to be, what went wrong, and whether things could have been different now.
This is completely normal, because the remnants of this love still remain in you. Some signs can indicate whether you still have feelings for your ex.
If you constantly compare other people with your ex or daydream about him more than once a week, then maybe you still have some love left in your heart. Feelings of happiness when things are going well and feelings of sadness or hurt when they are in pain are also signs that you may not be completely over it.
If you think you are jealous to their new partner, then there's a good chance you haven't completely gotten over your past relationship.
If you're familiar with any of these signs, that doesn't mean you can't move on—but it might be a good idea to explore your feelings a little more before you completely give up on the idea of getting back together.
How to stop depending on him
If you find yourself attached to your ex, there are a few things to consider. First of all, you need to realize that there is more to life than love and relationships - although they are an important part of life, they do not define you.
Second, after thinking deeply about why the relationship ended in the first place, try to determine if it was something that could have been resolved while you were still together. If so, no matter what you do, the same problems are likely to resurface in your life.
Whats next
Try to do things that make you happy, because that way you won't be thinking about him all the time. Mentally distancing yourself from a relationship can be hard work, so prepare for an emotional roller coaster. Talk about your feelings with someone close to you, as this will give you a new perspective on the situation.
Go outside or take up a hobby you've always wanted to try.
Get over it!
It's normal to feel hurt and rejected after a breakup, but it's important to realize that the relationship was probably doomed from the start.
Take life's experiences and treat them as lessons. Take what you can from every relationship in your life, the good and the bad, and think about how you can become a better person based on what you've gained.
As difficult as it may seem, it is recommended that you do not hold grudges or any grudges against your previous partner, because in the end, you will feel those feelings, not them.
No matter how hard the heartache seems, remember that someone loves you. Talk to your family or friends if you're feeling down, change something in your life, and before you know it, your the past is behind you - where it should always be.
