Question Posted Wednesday November 3 2010, 4:08 pm
I like this guy... but I can't help comparing everything about him to my ex. And I mean EVERYTHING. I don't know how to stop. It's making me think about my ex constantly when I don't want to. My ex is a douche who betrayed me and hurt me over five months ago... Yet I can't stop thinking about him recently... he's moved on, he moved on quickly. But I still miss him.. But I dooo like this new boy, a lot. He's not as attractive as my ex in my opinion though I've heard people disagree with that. I just don't feel the same spark with this new guy physically... And I know what most of you are going to say. "You need to forget about you're ex because he hurt you, and its in the past. You need to focus on this new guy because he's nice and wonderful and you'll regret it if you lose him. I KNOW that. I don't know HOW to do that. Does anyone have specific tips or experience of this happening?? That's what I need. Help!

Actually i bet if you asked around most people who have been in love and didnt work our compare people to their exes. I still do it. It isnt really anything you can control. When you find yourself thinking about your ex, dont think of the good times you had together. Think of all the wrong things he did to you, how badly he treated you and that you deserve better and this new guy deserves a chance to show you that he is better than your ex! This is obviously easier said than done; and im not telling you to completely forget about your ex because i know and you know that will never happen. You may still think of him occasionally but this is normal so dont worry!
