Love help: I’m still in love with my ex. - Help.com

I’m still in love with my ex.

We were together for a year and a half and he broke up with me 2 months ago, because we were getting into little fights about him partying and not spending time with me. He is now dating a party girl model. Im moving on with my life, meeting new people and filling my time with productive things, but he is still in the back of my mind. Do people ever come back to eachother in these types of situations or is that probably never going to happen?

You need to find closure. An ex is an ex for a reason. Dont look back. Allow yourself time to grieve, then stay focused on you meeting the type of man you deserve. Make sure you have a clear picture of the man you deserve so that you do not keep finding men that dont deserve you.

These kind of situations vary…there is no absolute answer here.

I wouldn’t “pine” after him–definitely do what you can to move on. While there is nothing wrong with having that hope, don’t give it too much power–it will eat you alive…

A year and a half is a long time, so yes, it’s going to take a while for you to move past this. Be patient with yourself…some say it takes as long as the relationship lasted to be completely over it. Give yourself time, try not to focus on love and relationships at the moment…spend time with your friends, pick up some new hobbies, ect.

Whatever happens, good luck. ^_^

Sounds like he needs some time to grow up. In the meantime don’t put your own life on hold.

Be careful! i was with my ex for 1.5 years also, and we mutually broke up because we fought about similar things. We also said one day we would try again but it just wasnt the right time. So i did all the right things, but like you, he was allllways in the back of my mind and i always had that bit of hope. It was the worst t hing i could of done! We’ve been broken up for a year now and although we sorta kept seeing eachother for a while… Keeping the hope there has shattered me even more. I recently saw him with another girl and realised we broke up for a reason. I would have saved my safe a hell of alot of pain and waiting and not knowing if i had of made the decision that i was better than that in the first place. Honestly if you were fighting cause you wanted more from him, you deserve someone that will give you all the time in the world, someone who you don’t have to ask for it from! I realise now that as wonderful as i thought he was, there is someone out there who will really want to love me :)
