The Best Things You Can Do When Your Ex Moves On

Many people think that maybe calling their ex up and telling them how much they miss them will magically get their ex to reconsider and dump the new love interest. This will just make you look desperate. If your ex wants to make their way back to you, it's better that they do it in their own time.

Don't get in touch with their new love interest. Again, this will just make you look desperate and you won't be doing yourself any favors. Instead, just avoid the two of them as much as you can, and if you are in their presence don't engage them. If they engage you be polite and courteous but don't be spiteful. If you want your ex back you will not be successful if you come across as the jealous, crazy ex.

Do your best to move on, too. This is easier said and done, but when you stop putting all of your focus on your ex and put that energy into yourself and your future, you may find that it doesn't hurt quite as much as it did. You may find that you are happier on your own and that you have things that you are really looking forward to doing now that you are by yourself.

Call in your support system. If you are really having a hard time with your ex moving on, call in your closest friends and family. Ask them for their help in getting you through this difficult time. Sometimes just having friends near you when you are hurting is enough to get you through the tough times. Your friends will get you up off the couch and feeling good again so you can begin to move forward instead of staying stuck in the past.

Let go. If your ex is moving on, chances are that there is not any reason to hold onto the hope that you will get back together. Instead, focus on building a future without them and stop giving them your attention. If you start to envision your life without them suddenly it will become a lot more livable than if you are constantly picturing what it could have been.

You need to try and remember the core reason why you broke up. Usually someone has changed, things have just been different or something along those lines. Try to see this act of already being over you as a sign of how much he or she has changed. It might make it easier to accept the fact that your ex has moved on, and it might make it easier for you to move on once you realize he or she is not the same person anymore.
