How to Get Over an Ex You're in Love With

Getting over any breakup is hard, but it can be especially challenging if you’re still in love with your ex. The first and most important step in moving forward is limiting contact with the person so you can get the space you need to get over them. If you don’t share children or pets, then try blocking their phone number and email account. You’ll also want to unfollow them on social media so you can focus on yourself for a while. This will also help you avoid the temptation to reach out to them. Bumping into your ex at the local bar or cafe can also set you back in your healing, so try to avoid places that they frequent for a while. In addition to limiting contact, give yourself the room to grieve. Try shouting, crying, or any other form of expression that feels right. As you move through these feelings, be patient with yourself. With time, your feelings will lessen and you’ll feel more hopeful about the future. To learn how to date someone new, keep reading!
