What do you do when you miss your ex?

Question

thetundrawolf · Accepted Answer

You suffer through it. You try your best to look at it without favoring yourself, emotionally. You made mistakes, too. Make an honest assessment.

But mostly, you just suffer. There's no way out, there's no way to permanently stop the pain. Eventually it gets easier. You can only confront it head on and be honest with yourself and the other person, and move on.

I focus on why I broke up with them and don't think about them any more

hoplessgirl · Accepted Answer

Level mild: I read our old texts, look at old pictures, and listen to songs that reminds me of him
Level medium: I start stalking his social media
Level high: I text and call him

Usually ends up with me tearing up a little/getting slightly drunk and going to sleep. Next day you will think the yesterday you was a clown.

I don't recommend this or say that it's "healthy" to do. It works for me, might not work for everyone.

I get angry about it and go workout. This morning, I ran. I say "I don't run" but it's really just a rare for me to do.

Now, I don't miss him and until this question, forgot about him.

LaFemmeFatale · Accepted Answer

Well... Not actually EX. But... still only man I remember of when I think about word EX.
So I listen to the sad musics, think why the hell I left him, think what if we were together, reading old diary I wrote about us when I loved him, remembering things he told me and things we've done and etc.

RJGraveyTrain · Accepted Answer

I remember why they're my ex.

Kapakani · Answer

Cry, be sad, watch old movies we watched together, listen to music we listened to together. Cry some more. Basically a lot of this

Bananaman177 · Answer

Get drunk and do heroin and listen to evil heavy metal music really loud and huff gas sometimes and then I snap out of it and sober up and get the apartment all cleaned up again in a mad dash like Risky Business. Then the girlfriend walks in right as I'm placing the last vase, and it's always real comical.

QooLipBite · Answer

That almost never happens to be...

I don't think it ever has.

I get over a girl abnormally quickly (about a week) and usually I'd be the one to initiate a breakup. Usually I'd find them more repulsive than anything else, so it would be hard for me to try miss them.

Hans222 · Answer

Haha here in Belgium that's a popular joke though we generally tell it about our mother in law 8) The answer is: aim better hahaha!

MysteriousDarkness · Answer

My exes are my exes because they either cheated on me, tried to use me for money, never wanted to help out around the house, accuse me of negative stuff thst is false, at least one of their parents was too controlling of their life etc. On top of that I have veen with my girlfriend for almost 38 months. Why would I miss any of my exesm

oximeter · Answer

i tell myself i m too good for her.

you dont stress over girls my friend.

they are in lala land while you suffer. they go on instagram or facebook and get validation while you're sick to your stomach missing her

you love yourself and do it hard. thats what you do

ThisDudeHere · Answer

I don't think I have ever missed her. But if I were to miss her, I'd ignore the feeling and move on. To contact them again and ask for another chance is to show weakness. In my opinion, that is.

Theleftguy · Answer

I jus sit and cry. But I remember she has a boyfriend. So I try dealing with it the best I can. Since its a situation where I can't do anything to get her back

Stalk them on Facebook.. No jk but seriously I just think of all the bad things they did & said & how it made me feel like crap & how I'm glad I don't have to deal with that anymore. Makes me get right out my feelings.

TonnyStryder · Answer

Resist all the excruciating need to text or call them or even think about them. It'll hurt for a long time but the moment you realize you're over them will be the greatest moment you've had in a while.

Hug a pillow. More often though I just accept that the feeling is there and get on with my life. Seeing friends helps. Having sex with someone I like, know well and trust helps too.

I haven't "missed" any of my exes. They became exes for a reason and that reason is enough to make me not yearn for any of them.
