ways to forget and get over someone

[instantick]

am in a difficult situation am waiting for a home move just for a nice fresh start for me and my family. however i feel stuck and need to get over someone each time i do his there as we live local and worming his way back in. i see him going off to other womens i have a child with him a part of me is not bothered but apart of me is due to locality just any tips on overcoming these obstacles? ways of coping and ways of just forgetting especially on the night time. without having to meet someone new as i feel so much content and happier when im left alone but as soon as he intrudes my life with his presence i just am back to square one. please any advice or tips would be great

Make a list of all the times he made you feel like shit and of all the reasons you broke up, your fights, why he is not good for you and why you are better off without him.

Sometimes when emotions take over we tend to glorify all the good times we had with someone and temporarily forget the not so great moments. When this feeling comes over you, grab your list to pull you back into reality.
Time is a great healer.

who finished with who? and why?

if you have a child with him, he’s always going to be in your life OP

not necessarily as he does not see his child which can go on the list. that is a good point but once i move homes a weight will be lifted i think its an out of sight out of mind.

@Allthewallsarewhite thank you something so simple xx
