1

You Aren’t Constantly Checking Your Phone

One of the signs you’re over a breakup is if you aren’t constantly checking your phone. It’s a normal thing to expect a message after a breakup. But when you reach the point where you don’t feel the need to constantly check your phone, you’re making progress. It means you know all the loose ends of the relationship have been tied up. It’s a good sign you’re ready to move on.

2

You Don’t Care if He’s Moving on

Another sign you’re over a break up is if you see him moving on and realize you don’t care. Seeing him with another girl is no longer hurtful. It’s something that may catch your attention but you don’t want to really investigate. You can honestly wish him the best. This is a huge sign you’re moving on.

3

You’ve Stopped Stalking Him on Facebook

It’s not abnormal to do a bit of stalking on Facebook and other social media sites after a breakup. You want to know what he’s saying about you and if he’s hooking up with someone new. In short, you’re curious what’s going on with him. That’s totally normal. But when you begin getting over your breakup, you’ll be ready to give that up.

4

You Realize You’ve Learned from the Relationship

Another sign you’re over a breakup is if you realize you’ve learned from the relationship. This is a true sign of maturity. You can look back and see there are lessons to be learned. You may have learned what you do and don’t want in a boyfriend or even learned some new things about yourself. You can look at the relationship as another step in your life but one that you’ve moved past. It’s a good feeling to know that time wasn’t wasted.

5

You Rarely Ever Think of Him

When you first break up, your ex is usually all you can think about. You remember both the good times and the bad times together. It’s kind of your whole focus. As time passes, those thoughts will lessen until you rarely think of him. At that point, you know you’re over him and ready to move on.

You’ve Dealt with Your Feelings

Going through a breakup is an emotional thing. There’re a lot of feelings involved, which means there are a lot of feelings to deal with. You may feel angry, betrayed, sad, relieved or even a mixture of all of those. You have to deal with each of those feelings and work through them in order to move on. This can take some time and that’s okay.

7

You’re Feeling Sparks of Attraction

One sign you’re ready to move on is if you’re feeling sparks of attraction toward another guy. If you’re still dealing with a breakup, you usually don’t want to think of any other guy. So feeling sparks toward someone else is a good thing. You do want to make you aren’t just feeling lonely, though. If you’re sure the sparks are real, you know it’s definitely time to move on.

can someone give me an advice ?? we just broke up :(

This was indeed a good piece of advice and tips specially for a person like that still having thoughts of my first boyfriend, 3 years have past since i have my first heartbreak. But then i realiZed it was no good to think of him anymore, those experience would be my lesson and be my guide for the future relationship i would have, in gods time 😍

Agreed

I am so glad to read this article. Even though I know I have reached a good point after my breakup it's nice to read this and know how far along I've come. A relationship is a journey and so is a breakup. It doesn't get better over night but slowly rediscover yourself.

Hmmm good post. I agree all good points. Every once in awhile we all have to refer to these breakup tips. So happy once you've moved on I've nvr regretted a breakup. Thx4 posting

I'm not even close yet :/

I am realizing I am getting over a breakup. I finally have reached this step where I am attracted to someone else and want to be a good factor in a relationship with this person rather than toxic. I felt like I was very toxic to my last person, maybe I was--maybe I wasn't, but I know that I don't want to take those same things into this relationship.

Perfect

I think about him at some point every day. We were involved a long time ago. Friends again last year, then more. Recently we had the talk and he wants very much to be only friends. I'm not in contact right now. I've dealt with the feelings and can move on, but I do think about him and know that I want to get back to friends some day. Not ready to be his friend yet though, or else I wouldn't be thinking about him so often.

Read every single one and it all related to me. I'm glad I'm moving on, but time to time it still hurts.
