Why do I still think about my ex almost everyday and compare how I feel with other people to how I felt with him?

[Anonymous]

We broke up and he got back together with his ex, I hooked up with his best friend, it was a whole thing. I haven't spoken to him in months but I still dream about him and think about him almost everyday. I know it will never work out and I don't cry about him anymore, I don't think I'm sad anymore either... So I'm confused, why do I still think about him when it feels like I've moved on?

Additionally whenever I try to start a relationship with someone else, I compare how I felt with my ex. It feels like I'll never find something that good again because I can't seem to have feelings for anyone else.

What's going on?

I think a lot of us underestimate the time it takes to move on mentally from another person. Just because you broke up with him doesn’t mean you stop grieving the relationship and that’s ok, you do though need to be open to a whole new person. What your ex did to make you happy another guy can do, I’m pretty sure he wasn’t the lover of all lovers. Come on, he got back with his ex? Was he ever over her? Think bigger for yourself, want someone who’s different, you’re not boring vanilla are you? I like vanilla by the way, you should still try new flavors, I promise they’re just as good if not better.

Girl,, i'm sorta in the same situation with you,, but since you already cut-off ties with your ex, you have to let things remain that way no matter how hard it might be for you. Whenever you find yourself thinking and comparing your current lovers with your ex, try remind yourself why you left your ex and that will prolly remind you that you two weren't just meant for each other. Think of how he's moving on whilst you're still thinking about him. Take up every action that will make you not remember him. Every thing that reminds you of him, just stay away from them. Good Luck sweetie

Actually I didn't have sex with him, I only kissed him. He had already gotten back with his ex at that point, also I don't feel bad about it and his friend said when he told him my ex was fine with what happened.
