Love Uncensored: The Modern Guide to Dating & Relationships

How to Stop Obsessing Over the Ex


Listen Later

We all know that after a breakup there’s an expectation that we will just move on.

Or at the very least move on eventually.

That we will just somehow magically switch off any feelings we once had for that person and get on with our lives like the relationship never happened.

But, what if you can’t?

What if the impulse to think about an ex becomes all-consuming?

And what if that impulse goes on for months, even years.

What if it never goes away?

This Single at Thirty solo episode explores some of the reasons behind why so many of us keep thinking about, and even obsessing over, our ex's including the tools we can use to finally stop being haunted by the memory of our past relationships.
