![]() You should do something about your ex-thoughts only if you’re obsessively thinking about your ex and/or your ex’s new partner after many years. They developed a strong emotional bond which is not that easy to forget. Everyone remembers their ex every now and then because they spent a lot of time with their ex. So if you still think about your ex after 10 years and you can’t stop wondering why, keep in mind that a thought or two about an ex from years ago is nothing to worry about. They merely covet their ex’s attractive lifestyle and the times when they were happier and less stressed. But there are some people who become nostalgic and envious upon seeing their ex happy, successful, and living life to the fullest. Most people move on after a year or so (depending on the length of the relationship). ![]() Of course, not all dumpees and dumpers ruminate about their breakup in that way. And when they crave them, they convince themselves that their ex wasn’t that bad and wonder if their life would have been any different if they ended up with their ex. This is how they create their own explanations for their feelings, allow themselves to be pulled back into the past, and prevent themselves from focusing on the present and future.īecause of their emotional barricade, they essentially remember only the good memories and dwell on those moments for so long that they start to crave them. Instead of helping them nullify unwelcome thoughts, it often makes them upset or frustrated and forces them to push those emotions deeper into their system. The reason for this particular circumstance is that resisting unwanted ex-thoughts tends to have the opposite effect on people. ![]() They start a cycle-a pattern of thinking about an ex from 10 years ago and think about their ex more every day.Įventually, they develop an obsession with their ex and may even start to believe that they still love their ex after years and that they regret breaking up with him or her. How often they think about their ex and what they think about depends on what they did to get over the breakup, how good they are at getting over the past, what they think and feel about their ex, and most importantly, how happy they are and what they’re doing with their thoughts and emotions.įor example, if they think about their ex and try to resist those thoughts by getting irritated and angry, they usually think about their ex even more. Their ex is a part of their past, so they think about their ex from time to time. They remember the memorable times, the good times, and even the not-so-good times. Many dumpees (or even dumpers) occasionally remember their ex and wonder what their ex has been up to. There’s nothing wrong with you if you still think about your ex after 10 years.
