What To Do When You Miss Your Ex
Do you miss your ex? Are you having trouble moving on? Here are seven strategies to pursue
when you miss your ex.
1. Decide that it is over. As long as you think there is a chance to get back together, you
will continue to experience feelings of missing your ex girlfriend or boyfriend. If you practice
strategies like texting or phoning them trying to catch them off guard, you will continue to
keep the feelings alive. When you miss your ex, try one of the other strategies presented here.
2. Get rid of all of their stuff. Do an exchange where you give them their stuff and they
give you yours. Don’t hold on to physical items for sentimental reasons, it will just remind you
of how much you miss your ex. If there are small things that you don’t give back (such as a
tooth brush or a comb) throw them away. You don’t need the constant reminders.
3. Write them a letter – then burn it. One reason why you continue to miss your ex is
because you haven’t gotten them out of your system. So, write a letter pouring out all of your
feelings about the relationship and the break up. When you have released your emotions, then
get rid of the letter. There is something emotionally satisfying about watching your words go
up in smoke.
4. Reconnect with your friends. Sometimes when you get in a hot and heavy relationship,
your ties to friends and even family wither. If this is the case, reconnect with your friends.
Redevelop relationships that you have let simmer. Your friends and family love you even if your
ex doesn’t anymore.
5. Make new friends. One of the reasons you miss your ex is because he or she took up so
much of your time. Now, in addition to the intense emotional void you are feeling, you have
time on your hands. Fill that time with new activities or interests. Take a class at the local
university’s extension program. Learn to do the tango. Join a co-ed softball team. Volunteer
to clean up the park through an environmental program. When you keep busy, you will find
that closing the time void also helps you close the emotional void.
6. Get a pet. A dog, cat, or other pet can help you reconnect to what is real. A pet needs
your attention and love. A pet can also give you love. When you miss your ex, you can reach
out for a pet who loves you.
7. Start dating other people. The world moves on. There are lots of other fish in the sea.
Once you reconnect with your friends, start new activities, and even start to walk the dog, you
will begin to see all of the opportunities you have with the opposite sex. Don’t worry that a
first date has to lead to a complicated relationship when you are not ready for one. Just go
out and enjoy yourself. Soon, you will stop feeling that you miss your ex so much.
Follow these seven steps and you will soon find that you are not saying you miss your ex at all!
