Tips to forget ex

Get out more and not where you will see her. Join a gym or something - meet new people, keeps you busy and distracted, good for physical self confidence and mental wellbeing, the more you go the better value for money it is, great buzz when you are done with a session. I defy you to be thinking about your ex when you are doing a really tough workout to loud motivating music with muscles burning or gasping for air! :beer: Consider group exercise like Boxercise, BodyPump (weights to music with a barbell), circuit training or Spinning (stationary bike) classes - these usually have a mix of both genders.

Or shut the door, stay in, don't see anyone and howl your heart out until the pain subsides.

You won't "forget" - but you may need to grieve and/or exorcise the hurt.

Reflect, but don't wallow in it.

Different things work for different people.

Are you certain that the relationship can't be healed?

Give it alot of time. You have suddenly gone from being part of a couple, a loving unit that you trusted to being on your own.

You will most likely experience all manner of emotions and feelings in the coming weeks. Anger, upset, loss, grief, anxiety, stress. There will be times when you look at your phone, wait for the front door to go, do the routine things you did as a couple and turn and expect her to be there. That is a particularly horrible feeling as it can make you feel like you are in limbo land. Stuck in the past and not knowing how to move on to a future that for now probably feels very strange.

If you do see her I would advise to try and hold it together and talk as openly with each other as you can. This may not help either of you resolve your differences and get things back on track, maybe you dont even want that. It would help you move on in a far quicker and healthier way though.

Bare in mind that it takes time to fall in love with someone. When you aren't the person who has decided to walk away from a relationship, falling out of love with someone takes time too. Your feelings for her wont just turn off like a tap.
