Do you ever 100% get over an ex?

My girlfriend and I broke up last fall and still find myself wondering what she’s doing or who she is with. I have seen other girls since (mostly just for a few weeks at a time) but I am interested to know when this feeing will finally go away. I still go back to social media of college exes to see what they are doing. Is this something that never really goes away?

Sunday Funday? Go ahead and ask her what she is doing. Then post her picture.

Your ex is 100% over you while she is getting that deep fricking whenever she wants

It’s normal to have a curiosity. But the more you do it the more you just end up hurting yourself. She doesn’t know or care that you’re thinking about her or stalking her FB.

When you get fricked over hard enough, yes

Depends. There's one I still think about and probably always will. Another I only think about to acknowlege what a narrow escape I had.

To an extent, I say no. I’ll have a random memory of an ex from 10 years ago. This will occur maybe a couple of times a year. It’s part of your life. You can’t erase it. I also think it’s normal to wonder what an ex might be doing these days. In those terms, I mean work related, where they live, etc.

There’s a difference between that and Facebook/twitter stalking a year or two later.

She's doing the new guy she's with.

Not really. You love the one you’re with much more but some former true loves always own a small part of your heart. Nothing to deny or be ashamed of. They were a special part of your life and shouldn’t be forgotten. To let let it consume you, however, could be unhealthy.

Sounds like a prelude to stalking. Be careful Baw

Yes. But to me getting “over” someone is moving on into another part of your life or another relationship with success. That doesn’t mean you can’t wonder how they’re doing.

Yeah, it goes away when you find the next serious relationship.

ETA - guess I'm a psychopath because I rarely think about any ex's and if I do it's just something we did together

Seems like the one hung up is you. I’d bet they aren’t thinking of you.

Move on. Let go and find someone new.

Memories are just that. Appreciate them for the encapsulated little moments of joy they are, like a dragonfly trapped in amber.

Never to return but the reverie remains, timeless.

block your ex so you won't be tempted to look at her page.

Yes. I don't think about any of my exes. Every relationship had a reason it came to an end. I am usually the one to do the breaking up though. Actually now that I think about it my first gf was the only one who dumped me.

You are romanticizing the good times/good memories/etc.

You need to think about the bad things. You need to remember why you're not with those girls anymore. Even if she dumped you, make yourself remember why.
