Lingering feelings might be your problem. If you want to truly get over him, try engaging in daily activities that don't remind you of him. Go to the mall with your friends, read a book, try baking a cake! Time is essential, but don't worry about it too much.

You may feel like you are cheating on him even though you broke up months ago because you are still emotionally connected to him. If you give yourself more time to adjust to your new situation, that feeling should eventually go away.

Because you still have feelings maybe? It takes time to get over relationships. I promise it gets better.

It's cause you have feelings for him and you been with him for a while and you think he was the only person who was enough for you. And it feels weird to move from being within a relationship to single. It's normal. Just gotta relax and remember why you broke up and how you can do what you like now. Life is too short hun.

Because you still love him and still have feelings for him. I guess you loved him truly and that’s why you’re facing difficulties to move on.

It is probably because you feel guilty about your break up either because you were too used of the relationship that it's weird for you now that it ended. In case it's the first option, there's no need to feel this way. The relationship is over, you can do anything you want in your love life without owing anything to anyone

Maybe you need more time to emotionally heal. It could perhaps be that you feel you are cheating on yourself - in the sense that you are having sex before you are truly ready. Listen to yourself and give yourself the time you need to heal.

I'm experiencing the same thing right now, too. Do you find yourself in a situation where feelings between you two are still around? From either one or both of you? Do you guys still keep in touch and stay close? Do you feel like you're leading him on in some way? Do you feel like the break up is still too fresh? If so, maybe you feel as if some strings are still attached or something similar. Once that changes, you might no longer feel like you're cheating on him.

The feelings stay in mind for a long time when you come out of a relationship no matter how you end it takes time to forget the moments you have shared, give yourself time and don't feel guilty for starting a new life
