How do you get over someone

How do you get over someone? Our relationship was ended by him. He didn’t cheat, we’re still friends. We have a DC so I can’t go no contact. He is with somebody else now - more dynamic, prettier, slimmer, less awkward. In reality I was always punching above my weight!

I wish I could rewind and relive some of our time together again. Amazing memories we shared. I actually wish we could go back to lockdown. I miss that time so much.

When I see him it’s a dagger every time. I just don’t know how to move on. I keep looking ar old photos and videos.

I don’t know how to block these feelings.

The best way to get over someone is to get under someone (my grans advice!)

Seriously ..keep busy definitely block him so you arent tempted to stalk or message. Dont put yourself through seeing him having fun

Block him on all social media and have a separate brick phone he can call you on re the dc.
Stop looking at old photos.
Stop looking at him with new gf.
Get busy and stop reminiscing. That was then. This is now. Early days of a relationship are always exciting but usually don’t last.

Try to stop longing to be with someone who wants to be with someone else.
If someone loses interest in me I lose interest in them. Attraction and connection is a two way process. It should be mutual or not at all.

I have had a relationship since but I ended it as couldn’t stop thinking of my ex.

He is very respectful, doesn’t parade his new gf in front of me but I do social stalk him. He doesn’t post often himself but she’ll tag him in things, and actually seems very nice.

I don’t know how to stop the longing.

so sorry. It’s painful but you need to move on girl, you’ve only got one life and you’re worthy of someone who will cherish you and your relationship. He clearly isn’t the one. Sending you hugs.
