usabup Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 I'm just curious as to what you all think. My ex left me nearly 4 months ago. Even though she stuck to her decision, she would still reply to my cell texts and e-mails to begin with. She would still discuss aspects of our relationship. Then around 6 or 7 weeks ago, she just point blank stopped replying to me. Now, she did it so suddenly and coldly that I'm sure I can pinpoint that as the time she met someone else. I'm not sure, maybe she just got sick of me chasing her but I just have this gut feeling. I still think about her a lot and it hurts still. But I think I will be able to move on fully and be happy when I meet someone new that takes my liking. I feel ready for that to. I remember when I split from a girl a few years ago. I was pining for her everyday. I felt really bad. Then one day, I met this great girl and out of nowhere, she took up all my thoughts and it was if the ex didn't exsist! Anyway, my question isn't really about my situation, its more of a general one. Do you think it takes meeting someone new to fully move on from an ex? And do you think that the reason so many people are unhappy on this board has more to do with missing the companionship of their ex rather then the actual person themselves?
KathyM Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 People miss the companionship when they break up with someone. The key is to fill that emptiness with something you like to do or something that has meaning to you. It doesn't have to be another person to fill the void. Sometimes it's better not to get into another relationship right away, and allow yourself to be single. You just have to fill the void with something else, and that will help.
MandyC18 Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 i think its different for everyone you know. I know im still coping from my break up and i dont really want to go back into dating. I think a new relationship is exciting, everything is exciting in the beginning. Thats why people "fall in love" so quickly after a few weeks is because they have that feeling they once did. But of course later on some people find themselves missing what they had with their ex and so on. Love is one big circle...but its not always a bad thing.
confused1989 Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 I don't think it does but I guess it depends on the person. I've fully moved on from people before I've found someone else. For me I just take a lot of time after a breakup to enjoy being single and stuff and then my next relationship is usually more enjoyable than the previous.
