Its alright to think about your ex once a while but not getting over them becomes a problem for you and serves as a barrier. It prevents you from moving on and being happy in your relationship or selecting a good person to take his place. 5years is a long time and you need to let go. You owe it to yourself. You need to work hard on making yourself a better person. Once you start that, you would be too busy thinking about yourself and the thought of him fades away slowly. It definitely wouldn't take a day but you would get there

After 5 years you need to find new hobbies and keep yourself busy. Life has a lot of ways of showing you how to deal with the past and showing you a path to the future. Keep walking. Don't look back. Follow the bright light

We have to move on some time in life. Like a widow or widower after losing the life partner we have to move on. Time heals. We can speed up this healing process by occupying our thoughts elsewhere. Taking up hobbies and making new friends will be some moves to be considered.

People will often say the same thing. Go out with friends, find a hobby to keep you busy. And trust me it does work. When you decide to move on and want to stop being sad you will definitely better when you go out. Do something that will make you feel happy. Don't base your happiness on others but only yourself.

Try to stop focusing on the past and focus on what is going in our life right now with you. Often holding onto the past is what prevents us from moving on. The now is what's happening.
