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.

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.
