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

It is normal and completely valid to have some lingering emotions for a person you had relationship with, and shared so much with. Think about the dynamics of your relationship, and how some behaviors might have been bad for you or unhealthy. Sometimes, the past stays in our mind for long, and inhibits us to work on our current task. It really helps to be mindful, to live in the present, not the past or future. Think about how you could improve and work on yourself, instead of focusing on what others think about you. Always remember your feelings are valid but not necessarily rational.

This simply shows how sincere you were in your relationship. Us women tend to love with all hearts, very deep and clearly there are some feelings still there which is perfectly normal. The question depends on many factors ...the type of relationship you were in, was it a mutual decision to end the relationships, were there any issues that could not be resolved or are you having second thoughts in that you feel it is worth rekindling something you may have both dismissed too early. Identify exactly how you are feeling and why ? Name your emotion. If the best thing for you was to move on, then I think it is fine to be having these blurred lines but you deserve happiness and you are now single. You deserve to do what works for you. The only way to move forward if it has been over months ago, is sometimes not to look back and to live in the present and look forward to your future. Enjoy yourself and do not feel any guilt about it.

You feel this way because deep inside, a part from any hardships you two may have faced, you still care about him. You don't want to let go of the love you had with him and feel guilty finding love somewhere else. Time is the best way to heal. Work on yourself, then love someone new. And if you take that time and still feel this way then maybe try reconnecting, tell him how you truly feel. Maybe he will feel the same for you as well. If not, love yourself. No one will love you as much as you.

Sometimes we feel guilt because we haven't come to terms with the breakup. But it will pass, when you work on your feelings regarding the relationship. The hardest thing can be feeling the loss of the connection which will color your behavior going forward. Looking inside yourself is the key to working towards healing, and being honest about your feelings. We often try to fulfil objectives we had in a relationship even though it might be over, which can create feelings of guilt. Talking to someone helps, and journaling your feelings is useful too. Often you can resolve these issues by sharing how you feel with someone else.

I do not know the full story, who ended it and for what reason. But sometimes there was never any real closure. Some unanswered questions as to why things worked out a certain way or why a decision was made. So many emotions piled into one conversation can prevent that from surfacing. But at the end of the day he must have been a big part of your life for a certain period, and a new chapter can feel weird and odd but through time you move on. If it was ended for the right reasons then you must look ahead.

You may still feel a connection from when you were together even though you broke up. How do you feel about the breakup that you had with him? And have you resolved everything with him? You feeling that you were cheating may be a sign that you still feel like you are together and that can lead to you feeling like you are cheating on your previous boyfriend even though you broke up. Even if you broke up months ago you still have that time that you spent together and you may still feel like you are together because of the memories you had with him.

You may have not taken the time to process the breakup. Take some time on your own to process your previous relationship! It's best, I feel, to give yourself that closure you may need that's making you feel like you're cheating on him. Even if you don't get the closure from him, you can always give yourself some. You should give yourself time to heal wounds from your past relationship. I don't think you have given yourself time to do this. While that is not a bad thing, it can be dangerous, because your brain won't be able to fully move on from your ex-partner.

You may feel like you are cheating on him even after being broken up for a few months because before the breakup, you and you partner were together for a significant amount of time. This person became such a significant person in your life and doing something now like talking to someone else may feel like you're doing something wrong knowing he would not like that you're doing this. You may still believe that he, in one way or another, is still in your life and you talking to or being with another guy will be considered cheating. Maybe there's something about him that you are still holding on to. Let it go, all of it, everything to do with him and try starting afresh.

You have that feeling because he was recently part of your life, someone that was the one for you and even after a month you have the same feeling because it can be unusual change for you. You have a feeling of replacing him with someone else and the thought that he was recently the one next to you. Cheating can only apply to an existing relationship. If you break up, even temporarily, all previous relationship agreements not sanctioned by the state between you are then are usually considered voided until you get back together and agree to terms.

It could be that you have not resolved the feelings within yourself regarding your cheating so these unresolved feelings within you are still there even though you are no longer within him. Remember that you are not a 'bad' person for cheating. Everything that has happened in your past is a lesson - it is an opportunity for growth within yourself. Use acceptance as a way of releasing the past. Accept that the situation happened. Accept the way that you handled the situation. Use acceptance to move forward. It will not happen straight away but in time the feelings you have towards the situation will ease. Just remember that you were doing all you knew at the time and that time has now passed and maybe you would have done things differently now. If you look back and feel that you could have handles things in a different way that means you are learning and that is life! Be kind to your heart - no matter what you are loved.
