Ex boyfriends and ex girl friends have the bad habit to haunt you – in your memories. However, if you don’t forget your ex, this will interfere with any new relationships you start. The best you can do is forget your ex and move on.

You can’t change the past. You had your ex but now it is all over and even if in your mind you relive the happy moments together, your ex boyfriend or ex girl friend is past. You might have your hopes of a reunion but chances are that a reunion with your ex will never happen.

If you have started a new relationship, this still doesn’t mean you have moved on. You might be in a rebound relationship, which is bad and you should get out of it before it is too late.

If you are wise enough and didn’t jump on the rebound wagon, your new relationship isn’t a trashy one. Your new love might be kind and understanding but even the most tactful and patient boyfriend or girlfriend will hardly stand your constant crying about your ex.

Additionally, by being unable to forget your ex, you are humiliating your current partner, who might feel guilty that you are so unhappy. Your ex surely existed but don’t transfer the drama from your previous relationship to your new relationship – this is not fair because your new partner is not to blame that your previous relationship ended.

It might take time to forget your ex and hopefully your current partner understands this. However, if you have split months or years ago and you still dream that one day you will be together again, you need to get yourself together and make your best to forget your ex once and forever. Here are some helpful tips how to do it:

• Don’t visit places where you might see your ex boyfriend or ex girlfriend. Out of sight, out of mind – this is more than true as far as ex lovers are concerned. If you don’t see your ex, this will make it easier to forget him or her. Well, if you work or study together, then it becomes a bit harder because even if it is possible, it is not always a good idea to quit a job or move to a new school just because of your ex but if you can avoid seeing him or her, this will help you to forget.
• Hide (or even better – throw away) presents and pictures of you and your ex. All these cool vacation photos of you and your ex might seem so romantic but now, when you are in a new relationship, they become even more inappropriate. This is why you should get rid of them.
• Remind yourself that you can and must forget your ex. No tricks can help you to forget your ex, if you don’t really want to. If you catch yourself thinking about your ex, just remind yourself that you must forget your ex and move on. If there is a will, there is a way.

It might be hard to forget an ex, but if you don’t want your past relationships to ruin your present and future, you must really do whatever it takes to sort things out. Your ex lover is your past and he or she doesn’t have a place in the present. Just forget your ex and move on!
