You may feel this way due to lingering feelings you have for your ex partner. Taking time to think over your decisions may create a situation where you feel more comfortable.

It is okay to feel this way, you are not the only one who goes through this. You need to learn not to make yourself feel guilty for moving on.

Maybe there is shame and guilty inside of your heart. If you don't do anything about this feeling, it might last longer than you thought. Maybe it is better to deal with the guilt and regret that you have in your last relationship.

You may still have feelings for him after the breakup as I have gone through the same thing but as time goes on that feeling fades and you will feel normal again ðŸ˜

Its normal to feel attached to someone still after a break up, its happened personally. You feel this way because you're so used to being with him and spending time with him you don't know what loving someone else is like.

Simply because you're still emotionally attached to him. It's not your fault, there's a small part in your brain telling you to hold on to the idea of him,that's why you feel that way

You feel like you are cheating because you were with him for a long or short period of time and its still hard to deal with. You may be over it but your emotions cant tell the difference. They make you feel guilty even though you arent doing anything wrong.

Maybe you feel like you are cheating because you are still in love with him? If you are maybe you might want to see if things might work out now or you could always go on the web and look up the pleasant activities list and find some new cool man to do things with.

Because you still love him. Despite the fact that you've broken up, your heart is still with the person who you really cared about. People take different amounts of time to get over things.

When we love someone and have spent a lot of time with them, they stick around for a while (figuratively speaking) even after they're gone. When I feel this way, it is a signal that I am not ready to move on, and that is okay! Take your time. Allow yourself to heal. When that feeling subsides, I know that I now have room for a new, special person in my life.
