Relationships – 11 Tips For Getting Over Your Ex!!!

Getting over your ex is one of the great dilemmas. It is rarely a quick and easy process, and it is often complicated by all the things that the two of you still have in common, like friends, favorite. Maybe the most frustrating thing about the whole process is that even if ending the relationship was the right thing to do — even if they bailed on you — it can still be hard to bury all those memories and move on with your life.

1. Take Them Off That Pedestal First things first: Stop acting like your ex was God’s gift to men. They were not perfect. If we are being honest, they probably were not even close. Make a list of their annoying traits. Let your buddies bad-mouth them. Do whatever you have to do — just take them off that pedestal!!!!

2. Exercise Your New Found Freedoms Being single should be about doing whatever the hell you want. Look, you have ditched the ball and chain. You are free. So, hop on a plane to Vegas with your brother, or just sit on your a*s and watch basketball all day. Taking pleasure in all of those things that you couldn’t do as a boyfriend is a great way to get over your ex.

3. Remember The Bad Times
It is pretty common for guys to idealize their significant others after a breakup. You will just be going about your business, and then, suddenly, you’ll remember an inside joke or a great date. Then you’ll grin, thinking about a cute personality quirk they had, and before long, you’re fantasizing about how great your relationship used to be.

4. Snap out of it.

One of the most important tip for getting over your ex is to remember the bad times. Focus on the fights and the problems. Recollect their bad habits and shady behavior. It’s like taking a cold shower

5. Hang With Your Friends
One of the things you had to sacrifice when in a committed relationship was time with your friends. Lovers are notorious time-bandits, always greedy for more and more of your attention. But now that you’re single, you can reconnect with the buds you left behind. Not only will it be fun, but it will also be therapeutic because hanging out with your friends is one of the most rewarding of tips for getting over your ex

6. Don’t Try Getting Your Stuff Back
By the same token, you don’t want to try to get your stuff back. You can’t have a relationship relapse if you don’t allow yourself to see your ex. Forget about all that stuff you left at her place. Consider it gone. The money you are going to have to spend to replace a few DVDs is a small price to pay to avoid an ex who could be either desperately needy or irrationally angry

7. Throw Away Any Reminders
That dopey-looking teddy bear they gave you for your birthday, the sappy love letters they wrote, the adorable pictures of the two of you — chuck ’em. Throw it all away. The sooner you get all that junk out of your house, the sooner you will get over they.

And before you ask, yes, it’s fine to keep items that don’t evoke any emotional connections. But clothes, jewelry, keepsakes, and the like that remind you of them should be ditched

8. Avoid Their Friends And Where They Hang
If you want to avoid the temptations that come with bumping into an ex, you might have to make some sacrifices. You might have to cut ties with some of your mutual friends. You might have to avoid some of your favorite haunts (because they are their favorite haunts, too). Trust this, it is a small price to pay for peace of mind.

9. Work Out
Without a lover gobbling up hours out of every day, you may be wondering what to do with yourself. Now that you’re single, we suggest hitting the gym or taking a jog. It’s a healthy way to work out all of that post-breakup frustration. Getting in shape is also a good way to boost your self-esteem. And don’t forget: The gym is a great place to meet people ……*winks

10. Don’t Contact Them
This may be the most important of tip for getting over your ex. After you’ve gotten closer, don’t contact her. Go cold turkey. Seriously. Maybe you said some crap about trying to stay friends, maybe you made some idiot vow to “always be there for each other,” but forget it. By staying in touch with old flames,you’re asking for months (if not years) of on-again-off-again uncertainty. So, throw out their phone numbers, stop texting them and unfriend them on Facebook. Imagine how freaked out you’ll be the first time you see some strange dude in their profile picture, and you will see why a clean break is essential.

11. Get someone else
One of the reasons we equivocate about leaving an ex behind is because — no matter how confident we are, we worry we won’t find someone new. That’s what sends us crawling back to our familiar, comfy, dysfunctional exes time and time again. It is time to find someone who would love you again……
