Still dreaming about ex-boyfriend

[Teatimes2]

So it's almost 7 months since we broke up after a 5 year relationship. For the first 4 months or so I dreamt about him a lot. Although it's less now, I find I dream about him especially on weekends. Last night, it was twice. I wake suddenly and it's quite upsetting. Has anyone else experienced this?

Not like you are experiencing. I think it's your brain working through the emotions of the relationship ending. It can't be nice for you and I hope it lessons over time.

Yes. I split up with my XP after a similar sort of time.
Sometimes something will trigger off some feelings.

For the first few months I missed him, but as time went on I realised that it wasn't him I missed, but who I was when I felt loved and secure.

Try to fill your life so that you have newer memories to look back on, and don't dwell.

I split with my exh 6 years ago. I did a few emits to start with bjt sometimes when im waking up or during the night if my partner disturbed me I’ll say my exh name eg “
What’s that noise exh)” but im really fuzzy and half asleep and I was with him for 25 years. It upsets me though and my partner hasn’t noticed as he too is asleep. I wish I would stop it.
