How can you know you are over your ex? This is a question a lot of people ask. And it’s an interesting question because your goal is to heal a broken heart move on and everyone focuses on that, but nobody speaks when it’s time to know you are over it. You are over your ex and you aren’t heartbroken anymore.

I want to give you some signs that will help you know if you are over your relationship or not. First of all, I want to mention that you won’t get here any specific rule because every person is different, and every healing process is different. The way I moved on isn’t for sure the way you did, so keep that in mind.

The first sign is when you think about your ex, but it feels just like a memory, you don’t have any more a strong feeling toward them. When you think about them you feel good or even feel nothing, it’s a good sign. In the beginning, you tend to think about your ex and feel something, miss them, hate them, be angry with them, cry, and more. So, if now you can think about your ex without feeling anything and you can control what you feel, you are in the right way.

An important note is that you won’t be able to stop thinking about your ex. You will think about them but just a bit. Your ex was a big part of your life and some of the memories will stay forever but while you can control them, there’s no problem with that.

The second sign is if you don’t feel like you have to speak about your ex and your breakup story. I remember myself after the breakup. I always wanted to speak about my story and let people know what happened and how I felt. Maybe I was looking for a solution to my situation. When I wasn’t able to think about anything else of my ex, but I always spoke about it. Once you don’t want to speak about the breakup because you don’t need to, you can know you are doing well. Because this means that your ex isn’t a big part of your life anymore.

The third sign to know you are over your ex is that you are in a new relationship and you love your partner. I don’t speak about being in a relationship just to forget your ex but about a healthy new relationship where your ex isn’t important anymore. If you aren’t in a relationship but you see yourself building something new with someone else who isn’t your ex, it’s also a good sign that you are ready to move.

If you think you’re over your ex and you ask yourself what the next step in the journey is. I would say you have to continue improving yourself, taking care of yourself. Making yourself a better person, a better partner. It will just make your life better and happier. If you tried things that made your healing process faster and helped you feel good. Continue doing them, don’t stop what’s making you good.

Healing from a broken heart is the first step, it’s just about healing the past. Now the second part starts and it’s rebuilding yourself and making your future amazing.

Let’s recap, if you think about your ex and you don’t feel bad anymore, or if you don’t feel like you have to talk about them and about your story, or if you are in a new relationship or see yourself in a new one, it’s a good sign. It’s a sign you’re over it and you’re on the write way.
