Today is the day! Here are the 10 reasons you still can’t get over a breakup.
Plus, steps you can take to speed up this emotionally draining process.
If you are still moping over your Ex, I guarantee you it’s because of these 10 reasons.
Here Are The 10 Reasons You Still Can’t Get Over A Breakup
I have been there, so I know it’s not easy!
However, until you face the harsh truths, you will still keep on moping around!
One of the main steps for closure is facing facts no matter how bad they are and dealing with them face-on!
1. You Still Aren’t Dealing With The Breakup
Breakups are emotionally draining, so choosing to avoid dealing with the breakup is tempting.
However, not dealing with a breakup really doesn’t help your healing process.
If anything, it stalls it.
Instead: Come to terms with the breakup and what it means to you moving forward.
Definitely, don’t ignore your feeling and then jump right into another relationship without healing from your previous one.
Doing so is unfair to the other person and most importantly it’s unfair to you. Deal with it, heal, then move on.
2. You Are Still Blinded By Your Ex’s Bullshit
Yes, I said it!
You still have the craziest excuse for everything they did wrong, even when your friends and family point out their selfish behavior time after time.
Instead: See things for what they really were.
There is no need to keep on trying to find the good in a bad relationship when there wasn’t much good in that bad, unhealthy relationship in the first place.

While this might be harsh, life is harsh, and it’s time you start considering your own feelings for once.
Therefore, focus on how different situations in the relationship made you feel.
While you may be tempted to just focus on the good situations, don’t!
Be fair to yourself by not leaving any stone unturned – evaluate every situation.

5. You Still Think It’s Your Fault The Bad Relationship Ended
There is no reason you should continually blame yourself for a failed relationship.
Some relationships are not meant to last, and that’s okay.
Life goes on. One thing I learned is as life happens people change or their reasons for association change.
