Can you keep your ex out of your mind? If you are having no more relation with your partner then what is the way to keep him/her out of your mind? is keeping your self busy is only the way or anything else to stay happy with out them?

Time will fix everything, actually this is my situation before, my girlfriend keeps on understanding my situation, she let me feel that, she's better than my past, that she is the one that I should choose and not my ex,.

well, when I finish with a person, if I really keep him or her out of my mind and life, then nothing is able to make me think about him or her.... why we should think about the one that now is not exist in our life? you can replace his or her place with a new one.. and in that way, you will forget that ex by time.. if you keep thinking about your ex then how can you forget him or her? make yourself happy by doing of what you like and try to replace that ex with a new one and make yourself busy by thinking about new things in your life. do not think about the past, think about your present and what you have..

I do not feel jealous of him or of his whereabouts. I no longer watch out for his activities and I already took him out of my friends list and I am no longer interested at what he does. So this way I am not feeling anything against or for him.

You can't. That's why it is important to not end up with someone, unless you have something permanent. In other words, get married. Make it real, and make it last. Otherwise you end up where you are right now.

Well, probably if we have just broke recently, the jealousy would be strong. But if it has been years ago, most likely, there would be no more jealousy between us.

It is possible not to feel jealous only when you accepted he/she can no longer be with you and you look forward and try to find other partner. It's hard not to be jealous after you broke up because you're thinking of what was wrong, the moments you spent together etc. But after a time, when you realise the relationship won't work if you make up and you accept it's over then you'll move on. You'll never take your ex out of your mind if it was real love but it's fine to keep the good memories and be able to continue your life.

What worked for me well was staying out of my ex. With my first ex-boyfriend I was able to completely get over him for a longer time than I ought to. We had talked in between those times and I got jealous of his ex and it was enough for me to deactivate my Facebook account because of that. But after that I was able to find a new one and it was all ok between us.

If you will not get your ex out of your system, I guess you'll just hurt yourself if he will have a new partner. It's really difficult to move on but I guess time will come that you'll completely forget about your ex. Even if you make yourself busy, at the end of the day, you'll still remember that person. Goodluck in moving on.

It's often that most people can't forget their ex,but our life keeping going forward and we gonna meet various kind of people.So my way would be using time to heal everything.And this works to me,try to forget your ex by purpose and you may find it doesn't work for you.So calm down and there is someone right for you.

It is possible. But it doesn't happen overnight. It is a process that only you can control when you should start moving on and being busy to do other things so you wouldn't have a chance to think about him again. It would help if you would stay away for a while from places that you frequent with your ex, activities that you two usually share and even some food that you two happen to like. Surround yourself with positive people, as those people who are quite depressed or pessimistic about relationships and exes can bring you down even more.

It is nearly impossible to just get your ex out from your mind but one thing for sure is that you will forget and move on, that is if you will let yourself. I agree that keeping yourself busy and diverting your attention to other things is one main solution for this but you should not forget the word ACCEPTANCE. Once you fully accepted in your heart and mind that you are not together anymore, I believe that the 'moving on' process will be easier.
