Get over your ex by avoiding your ex’s friends

Do not invade his/her territory because you are not welcome there. At least for the first few months go to other places to hang out and if necessary try to make new friends. When some time has passed, go back to your old life and visit the places you went to together as well. You can also get in touch with your common friends again.

Get over your ex by spending as much time with your friends as possible

Friends are the ones who can truly help you. Hanging out with them will not only make you feel better, but your true friends will know how to open your eyes best by telling you that your ex was not as perfect as you think and that there are plenty of other fish in the sea just waiting for your bait. Do not shut yourself off, but try to tell your friends about what is going on in your head. Of course, you have to have limits – do not keep pitying yourself, but take hold of your life again with the help from your friends.

Get over him by trying to think only of the bad times

If you are nostalgic, it is better to think back on the days you would rather hit him/her in the face. Do you remember when you had to wait for her in the store, while she tried on dozens of clothes and kept asking you which one looked best? Or when you wanted to spend a nice evening with him and he preferred to go for a beer with his mate? That should help. Think that there must be someone somewhere that suits you better. And do not forget – everything happens for a reason. Even the fact that you are no longer together. Only time will tell what loving moments await you in your life, but until then try to use the time you have. It might help if you choose a date in your calendar book, like three months from now, and say: “Things will be okay until this date.” This will bring you closer to happiness and you will soon find out that you are happy much earlier than you expected to be.

Get over your ex and start to enjoy your freedom

You might be a bit bored at the start because you will have so much free time all of a sudden. But do not go to your room and regret, there must certainly be things you have always wanted to do, but did not have time for them when you were in a relationship, or your partner did not approve of them. Go hiking on a hill, play video games, spend an entire weekend shopping, basically do what your heart desires and what relaxes you. Physical work, sports and learning or reading will also be beneficial because it will distract you from all the woes you are going through. If you have the chance, go to a country you have never been to before. Your thoughts will thus be occupied by new impressions and adventures and you will start to enjoy your single status again!

Get over your ex and have an adventure

Maybe you are not the type for casual sex, but if you are, do it. Many people with broken hearts say that this is a great way to forget the pain and the memories weighing on your mind. Besides, giving up shagging will do you no good, but some human connection can not only cheer you up, but makes you feel better as well.

Get over your ex and do not keep on torturing yourself and others

Finally, just think of all the things you have to be grateful for. Give thanks to these things before going to bed and do not allow the thought of your ex to eat away at you for too long. Instead, think about nice adventures with your friends and family. And if that does not help, start a topic on our forum and the other visitors will gladly come to your assistance and share how they got over such things.
