It depends on how long you were together, I usually say 25% of the time relative to the relationship, but that isn't set in stone.

everyone is different. got cheated on and dumped after 5 years about a year and i half ago and i think about it everyday. all 2016 i was a mess. lost hella weight fell out with moms, did bad in school , it was rough. got better towards the end as i discovered meditation. but it took a lot of weed to get there and i did every drug in the book to numb the pain. had a lot of half ass tinder relationships. trust me if u really loved that girl new p*ssy wont do anything but make it worse. u really have to reinvent yourself to get over them. make some new neuro pathways in your mind. workout, learn new stuff, be self centered for a while. it like when someone dies only time and new experiences will heal you

Ol I just
ass nikkas....

Real talk though, I just think about how letting it go, allowed me to grow. How I wasn't ready to settle down, not because I still wanted to sleep around, but more so, getting serious to the point of having a child and planting roots. My current girl told me the other day, that she thought she was pregnant and all that raced through my mind, was like damn, I ain't ready for this shyt, My life is over. Because the second that happens, your world turns into kids world, or the families world. When in reality I still need another 5-6 years under my belt to establish some things....
Side note: I saw an ex that did me dirty as a teenager, and never felt anything :yeshrug:
She even begged for me to take her back :pacspit: :camby:

Oh my goodness... You sound like me.

I thought I seen my ex while I was out shopping a couple of months ago. My heart was pounding because I was afraid he was gonna try and talk to me.

You just gotta stay off their social media be stuff... Seeing them with someone new is heartbreaking.

In my case I wouldn't give a shyt.... But I still think about him every blue moon.
