As days pass by, you will learn to let go, it dose not mean you'll stop loving him, or miss him, when you let go you will be happy, cause you will have figured out that life dose not stop with him, you will realise that there are still many more possibilities you will learn to love in a new way, you would learn that love is not just memories, or times that you have spent, you will evantually realise that love is the beauty in everything, and you'll be happy, of the new prospectives and possibilities of life, meeting someone new, eating your favourite food, watching your favourite movie, you will be in love with happiness, and along the way, you will find that person, who will shear just happiness with you.

Find a cuter guy that you can stalk instead. And we both know, that there is a cuter, sexier guy for you out there.

Focus on other things in life (i.e., hobbies, families, friends), distract yourself with many activities. And when you are on the way to check up on him/her, BE STRONG! Tell yourself that you can resist the temptation of checking up on him/her. The first time will be hard, but after that first time, you'll be able to tell yourself "If i've done it in the past, I can do it again this time". And soon after, the temptation would gradually fade.

Every time you feel the urge to go check on your ex, force yourself to do something else like go on a walk or watch an episode of tv. (The first option is better because it's forcing you to get up and do something instead of being tempted.) Do something that makes you happy instead! :)

Occupying yourself with a new hobby may help. You can find some new artist to listen to or a new TV show or something that interests you.

Let your ex go. It easier said then done, but thats the only way you can stop checking up on him. Delete all ways/access that you have to be able to check up on your ex so that u will have no means to do so.

My experience with that issue was basically that I kept checking on them because a part of me had some kind of "unfinished business" with them. It was difficult for me to let them go, as long as I was still lacking answers to questions that were burnt into my mind. My friends kept telling me that "it's unhealthy to obsess over them like that". And it was, because I hurt myself in that process. All that checking up hurt my own feelings, because it reminded me of the break-up, of the good and the bad memories. So, how did I stop it for myself? I waited a tiny bit and once I felt like there was enough "grass" over the wounds, I had an honest conversation with them and asked all those questions I needed to. I learnt that some questions will stay unanswered forever, but that what happened, happened for a reason. That I realised I was hurting myself, and that I had to stop that in order to grow from that relationship. In the end, I taught myself to believe that when one relationship ends for good, it's only to make you a better person and partner and get you growth for your next adventure ahead! :-)

That depends on how connected you are to your ex and their family. Is your life better since the break up? Focus on that- do things that make you happy and that revolve around you and your needs.
