I have a boyfriend but cry about my ex what's wrong with me? What do I do?

I was with my ex for 7 years. He was my first boyfriend. We broke up 1.5 years ago bc of his family. I was over him I thought. I still think about my ex and how this or that circumstance with my boyfriend was so much easier with my ex. I miss my ex and wish it would've worked out some days. My boyfriend has amazing qualities and is better than my ex in so many ways but I think its just hard after being with someone for 7 years. Things with him were easy and comfortable. I love my boyfriend but why do I still cry about my ex and think about him.

It’s probably because you didn’t take adequate time to heal and got into this relationship too soon after a breakup. Your saving grace in this situation would be if you were fully happy in this new relationship but based on your other posts, it sounds like this guy is toxic and you are trying hard to make it work with the wrong person.


It just seems like you’d be doing yourself a huge favor by staying single for a while, so that you can heal and figure out what sort of man would be best for your life going forward.

You need therapy. (I don't mean it in a rude way... but crying over an ex means you have unresolved issues. You shouldn't be with a new guy if you're still pining for the old one.)

Since you were with your ex for so long and probably didn’t take much time before starting a new relationship you probably didn’t get a chance to heal from the emotions you still had for him
