Well I've hit that week and a half point where I'm thinken about sending the ex a text saying have a great week. Think I have finally convinced myself that this wouldn't be a good idea because I don't see myself having a huge urge to do it. Right now I'm not planning on sending it but I was told to say something if the thought crossed my mind. Lol

What would it accomplish? Nothing

Yup yup, bad idea. Not sending it.

It would just open pandoras box if you sent the text

Yea, I'm glad I'm not sending it. In the past I would send it and then get all worked up about when and what she was going to write back. Not giving her that power over me anymore, think I'll just text the new girl I'm dating. Is it weird to be with a new girl and still have thoughts about the ex? Not as strong as they used to be, but still think about her a few times a day. After 8 dang months lol

Its not so weird to still have thoughts about the ex. Im glad you are dating someone new, maybe it will help you get over the ex and see all of the qualities she was lacking. Keep your head up.

Having thoughts about the ex is not weird at all. She was a big part of your life and you gave her a lot of your time and your thoughts. It just takes your brain a little time to get used to the new person to think about. Don't let it put you off.

I still think about my exs a few years after they were out of my life (it doesn't help that they keep cropping up from time to time), even with a wonderful person in my life. Not half as much as 8 months after though!

Keep strong, keep her out of your life, and keep healing.
