Trying to forget. How can I forget my ex. It's getting out of hand and we still communicate for no reason. ?

We have been broken close to 7 months and we both have dated, but manage to still keep in contact. We both have stated what if??? I just can't seem to get her off my mind. She states that she is over it, but then again, here I get a call from her just last night and we spoke for over an hour. I had just broken up with someone that lasted a short while and now my ex is getting back into my mind. What to do.

Update:

Thanks to all for your input.

    three important rules for breaking up

    don't put off breaking up when you know you want to

    prolonging the situation only makes it worse

    tell her honestly simply kindly but firmly

    don't make a big production

    don't make up an elaborate story

    this will help you avoid a big tear-jerking scene

    if you want to date other people, say so

    be prepared for the girl to feel hurt and rejected

    even if you've gone together for only a short time

    and haven't been too serious

    there's still a feeling of rejection when somebody says

    he prefers the company of others to your exclusive company

    but if you're honest and direct

    and avoid making a flowery emotional speech

    when you break the news

    the girl will respect you for your frankness

    and honestly, she'll appreciate the kind straight-forward manner

    in which you told her your decision

    unless she's a real jerk or a cry-baby you'll remain friends

    Why did the two of you break up in the first place? If you get back together, will those circumstances/problems happen again?

    If you didn't break up for any real reason and the two of you think it is a good idea then you might as well get back together.

    The reason she is on your mind is because you are imagining the good relationship that you think you two could have. That can be a very powerful and haunting image.

    One final thing....after having gotten to the point where I am in life I can assure you that "oh, well" is much easier to live with than "what if". In short--go for it and get back together.

    If you both are talking to each other for more than an hour in the middle of the night, that definitely means that you both still have some soft corner for each other and miss each other.

    Sit down with a pen and paper and write down why you both had the break up in the first place and then write down what you still like about her.

    If the +'ves add up, chin up and give it another shot.

    Break off ALL contact. If you have to change your number or email address so she can't get a hold of you, then do it or just ignore her calls until she gets the message. The worst thing you can do with an ex is keep communication open, it just makes it that much harder to move on and its not fair to either one of you.

    You still harbor strong feeling for each other. Relationships do end, but the feelings do not. You may want to see each other to resolve those feelings, revive them, or seek ultimate closure. 12 years after my divorce, I realized that I still loved my ex and now we share a very tender friendship!~~it is better than when we were married. I see her 2-3 times a month and we always look forward to it. It still involves a lot of healing but is a true blessing.

    You wrote plenty and that i've got faith which you wrote it at as quickly as possibly inspite of a fiery interest. you appear to be somewhat temperamental. i beg you to re-examine what you wrote. have you ever seen which you would be at some fault for how issues have grew to become out? He sounds like he tries particularly diligently to get you to stay with him yet over the years your badgering and nagging and controlling habit will ruin him down and probably that's what surpassed off right here. Now which you're pregnant i ponder whether you're no longer yearning for the days of freedom which you the two had on your dating formerly you grew to become pregnant. i ponder whether you could somewhat meditate in this and spot the way you need to probably meet him someplace extra in the direction of the middle. i ask your self what might ensue in case try to be sure this by way of yet another persons eyes? one thank you to do it somewhat is to %. up a pen and start up writing an outline (even a catalogue) of the suitable dating and then a catalogue of the characteristics of the suitable guy and finally the characteristics of the suitable female. Write yet another checklist or an outline approximately your dating, your guy, your self. ask your self which of the perfect characteristics from the 1st checklist is lacking out of your checklist. Is there sufficient good to patch it at the same time? mirror on the characteristics which you relatively deliver to this dating. Are you being the terrific companion which you would be able to? i be attentive to that isn't all your fault yet somewhat the only individual you could exchange is your self. Rrespect and love are earned by ability of giving it. supply him a while - no longer in the thank you to supply him the silent therapy - yet in a deferential thank you to permit him time to mirror on what he needs. i individually think of this guy loves you and must be an excellent daddy. All my terrific to you the two and congrats on your toddler.

    Either get back together or cut her off for good. Problem solved

    Do what seems right, but remember why you broke up to begin with. There's no point dating her again if it has zero hope of working out

  • I was the same position. Well, what i would do, when she calls you, tell her that you miss her, and tell her how you are feeling, and than hopefully she will tell you how she is feeling. To try to forget her, just try to think of her as a friend, and put the past behind you. When that happened to me, i met someone who made me forget my ex, maybe that will happen to you. Hope I helped. =)

    If you and your ex both still have feelings for each other try it again and if not stop talking. It is the only way to get over her!

    If you want her out, get her out of your life completely. Don't take her phone calls, emails, texts. She may be trying to keep you on a back burner in case she decides whether or not she wants you back.
