    Is there life after the ex?
    Hey everyone I was just wondering, if there life after the ex? If so, what is the life after the ex? I mean if you love someone so much, life wouldn't be the same without them in your life. Sometimes I just think that all that still matters is the love shared and the good times and it wouldn't be the same with someone else. Perhaps maybe better, perhaps not, that I have yet to figure out?

    My friend, I'm living proof that there is life after the ex. And overall, it's not so bad.

    You find that life is so much better, time heals if you allow it to.

    Yes, there's life after the ex, just like there's life after a parent dies, after a spouse dies, after you euthanize your favorite cat or dog. You mourn, you cry, you memorialize, you think this is the end of the world. But it's not. There's light at the end of the tunnel, and you emerge from that tunnel a better person and more mature and connected with your True Self.

    The same way there was life before the ex there is life after the ex as well. At the end its up to you and what you make of the time after the ex. The key thing is not to give up and just be open to new things. New friends, new experiences and possibly some day someone you can share your love again.

    Life will go on. You may not be able to see straight right now, but time will heal.

    You will look back on this someday and say " what was I thinking?". Most of us have experienced what you're going through right now.

    Love will give you your highest highs, and lowest lows. You are just at a low point. Just hang in there, and you will be fine.

    I wish you luck and strength.

    Yes there is life after an ex my friend... however you will need plenty of time to heal. Do whatever makes you happy. This will be one of the hardest things you'll ever have to go through along with a death of a loved one. Just be strong and realize eventually when you're ready you will meet someone else.

    The PROOF that there is life after the EX is there are so many EX's unfortunetly.
    You have to accept this statement regardless how stupid it sounds
    "it wasnt meant to be"
    And move on.

    Hey everyone, thanks for answering. It seems like it's a consent that there is life after ex. I was also just wondering how do you know if you are over your ex? I guess the fact that I asked the question means I'm not? But its been around a year I haven't talked to my ex. And I'm just wondering if ill ever be in another relationship?

    I think that many people find love when they're not looking. Go out and just have a good time with friends and don't worry about being with someone new.

    Of course, you will be in another relationship!! I haven't thought of my ex for at least three days now, and we were together 40+ years ago. (In other words, you never "get over" your ex.) Just move on and make new friends and get out and about.

    emopunk7 agrees: Very confused by this... Never get over your ex? Still thinking about your ex? Sorry, please explain.
    He was my best friend. We went together for six years, dating others in between, but always came back to each other. We had planned to marry, but, for reasons beyond our control, that didn't happen, and we each married someone else. I've "gotten over" him, but I still think of him, remembering the good times.
