My ex got married(!) 3 months after we broke up, after he told me he's not at all interested in any new relationships. At that time I was still crying at least once a day, was very depressed and barley functioning. I wish I had an easy answer - I tried everything. I talked to friends, I burnt sage to clear energy, I did rituals, I received sessions, I tried drinking (not recommended) , I wrote letters that I burnt after, I journaled, I prayed, I did energy healing sessions, I just wanted to get over him. I tried dating - only to realize that I am so not ready. I had to learn how to love myself, first. I had to give myself time. I had to accept that it is what it is, that I loved him deeply and that he'll never be in my life. It's that acceptance, it's telling myself that it's ok and of course time - made a difference. I learned how to be happy, truly happy by myself. And when I was ready to date again, I knew I was ready - I met my husband. Hope it helps :)

We don't always know what happens behind closed doors. Even if they may "appear" to have moved forward, we never know if they are truly have or not. Plus, we all heal in our own time fast or slow. Having a slower "heal" time isn't a bad thing, nor is having a faster heal time a good thing always. What works for you and is healthy works the best. As hard as it may be, place the focus back on you and your happiness. We often discredit our emotions and our needs when it comes to where we want to go or what we want and need within relationships or friendships. This a moment to do things that make you happy and fill up your soul or even try something new. In short, make your focus YOUR healing and journey in life instead of this ex.

In this situation, I would practice gratitude and reframing; your perfect someone is still on the way. It isn't a race to move on quicker than your ex, have the belief or faith that something good is coming your way! It can be hard because you just want to fast forward till that moment in life, but reframe and enjoy the little things in life! Spend time with friends, family and loved ones, find time to do things for you! I find it best to also keep it out of sight out of mind,try not to hyper focus that he or she or they moved on before you did.

The best way to get over your ex moving on before you do is to always occupy yourself by doing things that you love. For example, painting, singing, reading or even taking a walk outside. Anything to keep your mind focused. You will see as days go by, it will become easier and sooner or later everything will be okay. It is completely normal to have more difficult days than others but time heals everything and next thing you know you will have focused on yourself and be happily moving on! Things will only get better from here. Stay strong!

It can be hard to know how to respond when a relationship ends and you feel your ex-partner is finding their way to move on before you do. Sometimes, the best, healthiest, and kindest thing we can do for ourselves is to allow them to undergo their process off our radar, in other words, to let them experience their process without comparing it to our process. Sure, we may have ups and downs. We may feel that we are not always adjusting at the rate we wish we could. But that doesn't mean we should focus on the downsides of that, or focus time and energy on our ex's progress. It helps us stop comparing ourselves to others when we limit our exposure to social media, stop engaging in conversations about them (gossip), and focus our energy on healing ourselves through self-care and introspection. This helps draw your focus back towards yourself so you can heal optimally and fully.

Its important to be in the moment and not to compare yourself to your ex or anyone else. Take as much time as needed to move on! Everyone takes their own time to grow after experiencing a break up. Reflect, find things that you are passionate about and do things that make you happy. I like to set small goals or achievements for the day ie: go for a walk for at least 10 mins, clean my room, list 5 things i like about myself. Write them down and cross them out once youve completed them. Accomplishing goals big or little help me focus on the improvement of myself rather than what others are doing! Time heals! Good lucl

Start with acceptance. Accept the fact that things didn't happened the way you wanted it to be. Embrace the pain and sadness instead of trying to avoid it. It is okay to cry, crying wont make you less any as a person. Time will come that you are ready to move on, just be patient. After you cry make sure you are not crying for the same reason again. Instead, focus and work on yourself. Engage to different activities, exercise, spend more time with friends and family. Enjoy life. Only time can heal the wounds. Just help yourself, before other does.

I think the best way to get over an ex moving on before you do is to stop following them on all social media accounts first. It’s a lot harder to get over someone when you can “see†them getting over you. Try not to “see†them or obsess about what they might be doing now. Work on doing things that make you happy-old hobbies you used to have, catch up with friends you might not have seen for some time. It also helps to remember that a break up is called a break up because “it’s brokenâ€. Time and distance away can make you realize all the reasons you are better off without them. In time, your memories will be replaced with less painful ones and more indifferent ones. Good luck!

Relax. Spend some time to relax. Let it go as naturally as you can. You can watch a film, play an instrument, read a book, or whatever you want, it is up to you. This will bring you a normal life without your ex.
It may be so hard to deal with, but if you feel depressed or something like that, you can imagine your ex is something terrible such as a monster, and you are able to defeat it. Very very cool, right?
Don't try to forget your ex. Let everything comes to you in a surprising way. Life is more wonderful than we know in the present!
