Why do I feel like I'm cheating on him still, even though we broke up months ago?

you guys had something special and it will take some time to feel different but just keep reminding yourself that you are not doing anything wrong

Because you still care about him. Relationships may expire, but that doesn't mean your feelings do. You were with him for a reason, at one point.

This is because you have had a connection with him. Feelings that you may be holding onto without even realising. It takes a little while to get over a break-up. We as humans, can't switch off our feelings for someone we have loved and cared for. If we could we wouldn't experience real life love/hurt. It sounds as though you are still loyal to this person.

Are you still thinking about him and in which way? Were there things left unsaid? Usually cheating, which technically you aren't doing, can be emotional or physical. If you still have feelings for him or there are things left unsaid or even if the relationship with him was something you cherished more than you do your current relationships it could feel like you are either missing out or that you are not true to your emotions. It all bottles down to how you perceive cheating.

well if you feel like your still cheating on him then maybe your moving to fast for you self and should wait until your more dnt have these feelings

It is okay to feel this way, I had the same experience after my breakup. Your heart may still think about them and it may just mean you need to take time for yourself more.

Maybe you still have not let go completely of the relationship and moved on. That would bring you to feel like you are cheating on him when you're no longer together.

You’re still hung up on your past relationship and you can try to get that back or move on. Don’t be in that standoff. Take control of your life. If you’re not in a relationship you’re not cheating

Maybe you are trapped in that past, like you think you aren't enough for him because of what you did? Whatever you need, you can count with me to help you more deep into this

It can take a while to process loss, and that's exactly what's happening when you experience a breakup. Even though the person may not be dead, it's still a loss because you're not with the person anymore and it takes time to process that. When you go out with other people, you may not fully be emotionally detached from your ex, which is why feelings of guilt may come in. When this happens, it's best to take some time away from dating to let yourself heal from what you've been through. Talking about it, journaling, etc, are great ways of coping.

There is no time frame on your emotions. You don't have to feel guilty for having unresolved feelings, you're human and don't have an off switch for your emotions. However, you should probably discuss this with your current partner in view of all honesty. And if you want, venting or discussing this could help you get closure!

I understand completely and went through something similar in my past. For me, I had to take time to realize that they will always hold a piece of my heart and they should cherish that piece because it is beautiful. But, it was only a piece, they do not hold onto you anymore and you have the right to try and find happiness with someone new and so do they.

you might feel this way because you still have the image of you guys together. which causes you to feel this way

Maybe you aren't over him yet? Maybe you still hold a connection with him in your heart. Or you could just be so used to him that someone new feels too foreign.

It might be because you still feel that there's an attachment with him. Part of you hasn't let go of him yet.

Because when you grow accustom to being with someone and the relationship ends it can take a while for you to feel like the relationship is emotionally over. If you feel like you are still together and see someone else it will cause this feeling.

Perhaps you still have feelings for him? I believe in order to completely move on, you must make sure you have deleted any and everything that reminds you of him including pictures, messages, letters, etc. This may be very hard but in the end, it should be a lot of help.

If you're still emotionally involved with him, or still physically involved with him- its going to feel like you're betraying him.

It sounds like you still care about him deeply and may still be in love with him. I would take a day to truly try to understand how you really feel about this person.

You are most probably not over him, if you and him are still close then it might feel like the relationship never ended. Also, in your new relationship you might feel that something is missing and that it isn’t as good as your old relationship.

I had something similar happen to me a while ago. I was nursing wounds from a immature relationship that lasted for 3 years. I was practically dumped. I had a hard time believing that she was gone. Whenever I d meet someone else, I felt like I was cheating on her and always imagined that she would come back one day and look down at me for moving on. I think the reason it feels like cheating is because you still believe that you can get back with him. Reason it out. If it's over for good, take your time to accept that.

I guess you haven’t let go or think there’s still hope or you know it will hurt him. Also it might hurt you to know he’s with someone else.

You may have those feelings for him still. You are stuck in that thought of still being with him. But there is nothing wrong with that at all. Just remember that you guys are longer together so you are not cheating despite those feelings.

I believe that this is because emotionally you are still invested in him and your past relationship, so much so that it feels wrong to be like that with anyone else. At this stage, you are still healing from your experience with him. Just remember, time heals everything and eventually feelings fade, it's still fresh with you right now as it has only been a few months. Focus on yourself and loving yourself before trying to love another person, especially if you haven't had enough time to mourn your past relationship. I understand how you could feel guilty, like how cheating would probably make you feel, but just remember that you are moving forward x

It is normal to think of a past partner for quite some time after a break up. It may take some time to fully get over a past love, so be kind with yourself. We quickly form strong attachments on a physiological level, so there needs to be time to heal your heart. It is a part of the reacclimatizing back to you. Focus on growing yourself and being reflective about what that relationship taught you, don’t just look for another partner to shift away from any longing or heartache you may feel. You will build a self-resilience if you own the feelings and thoughts that surface from time to time. Be kind to yourself and resist judging yourself for your mind wandering back. It’s all a part of being human. Focus on what you learned about you from that relationship so you feel empowered over victimized.Things happen for a reason, accept it and make peace or deny it and ruin your mood over something that you don't have any control. Your happiness matters most other than your relationship status. The faster you move on,the more your Future you will thank you, believe me.

Because you still feel a sense of attachment to him. Even though you are not with him anymore you still feel attached. Maybe the relationship was ended recently so the wounds haven't been properly healed. You can find time to think about it more and see ways in which you can move forward. Either by moving on or reconciling. Its up to you. Or better yet find yourself so that you can know what you really want and that what you do is for your benefit. In the end its normal to feel like this if you were close or in love with the person.

You most likely still feel committed to him. You most likely cared about him and have still yet to let him go. It is sometimes hard to let go of relationships especially when you enjoyed them. Guilt is hard to let go of, it makes you feel like you are in the wrong, even after the event has happened. If the person has forgiven you, then you need to forgive yourself. It is hard but you should realize that it isn't impossible for you to forgive youself, even in these situations. Anxiety over this kind of thing is common.

When we are in a relationship especially a long term one, we have a tendency to carry those feelings with us. When we truly care for someone it can be incredibly hard to put our feelings for that person aside. When we find a new relationship those feelings can crop up and cause us alot of confusion. No matter how hard we try not to think about it those feelings are a part of us and we feel like we are cheating on someone we cared about. This can be very confusing and painful and lead us to thinking about the other person.

Letting go of someone can be difficult, especially if you were with them for a long time and felt really in love with them. They become a part of your life, more like a lifestyle, and when that gets taken away it can be tough. You need to remember that you don't owe him anything, and you two are seperate now. You deserve to be happy and therefore you need to do things for yourself to stay happy, or else you'll be stuck with these thoughts forever. You might still feel attached to him; it can be difficult to let go, but you're free to do what you wish now, so just try to enjoy yourself now and forget all about him.

maybe you're too attatched, grasping on to the idea that youre still together when youre not. taking time to address the fact that you're not together is the best you can do. imagining the little things without him, trying to grasp ahold of a future without him. breakups are a hard emotional overload on anyone and everyone, so what youre feeling not abnormal, talking to someone wether its a counsilor, a therapist, friend, family member, or even a colleague. talking about youre emotional distress is not a sign of weekness but a sign of 'im aware im not alright and need to talk to someone' which is a good thing.
