(M23) My ex and I were together for about a year. The relationship ended after she cheated, and it hurt more than I expected. Since then, I’ve started seeing someone new. The thing is, my new girlfriend treats me really well. She does a lot of the things my ex never did, she’s supportive, caring, and I genuinely love being with her. By all accounts, this relationship is healthier and happier. The problem is that I still think about my ex a lot. I don’t want her back, and I know the cheating wasn’t something I deserved. But for some reason I can’t get her out of my head. Sometimes I catch myself comparing the two relationships or wondering why what happened affected me so much. I feel guilty because my new girlfriend has been great to me, and I don’t want unresolved feelings from my past relationship to affect what we have. For anyone who’s been through something similar, how did you finally let go of a cheating ex and stop letting them take up space in your mind when you’ve already moved on with someone better? submitted by /u/Americanstacker
