Question! Does a new relationship let you forget the past one?

You should not begin a new relationship until you're over the previous.

 

that sounds smart

 

Yes it does. But careful about rebounding from one relationship to another, as it works slightly less well each time, and you should really be comfortable being alone for a period of time in your life as well.

If you are continually comparing her to your ex, you aren't ready and you aren't being fair, you are using her to get over your ex. But your ex doesn't have to be a distant memory either.

Good luck.

 

Is healthy after a break up to keep your mind busy with other stuff. Dating other girls can help if you just do it for the fun like going out with your friends and not for replacing your ex.
If after dating a lot of woman you fall for one then you ex will disappear from your life/brain/hart because now your brain is busy thinking about other woman.
So if you want to date to begin another relationship to forget the last one, then it is bad. You are going to end up with a woman that is just there to heal your pain, once you are heal you are not probably going to like her at all and procced to dump her.. like your ex did.. so don't do what you don't like other people do to you.
If you want to date just for fun, and nothing more.. then dating it's going to be beneficial.

 

You need to take some time every day to meditate on your feelings about this woman and proactively work toward accepting the fact that you will never be with her again. Make the conscious decision that you must let go of this pain. When you mediate, allow the pain to rise within yourself without resisting it or trying to change it. Simply sit with it. Then, identify the point in your body where the pain seems to be the greatest. Visualize yourself breathing into this point, and then imagine all that pain and tension leaving with your exhale. Continue to do this, all the while reaffirming to yourself that the relationship is over and you must let go of the pain.

It gets better with time, you just have to make the conscious decision to let her go. Every time you feel yourself slipping back into the longing for her, take a second to connect with that pain, choose to let it go, and breathe it out for a couple breaths. Then move on. The more you allow yourself to ruminate about how much you miss her, the longer it'll take you to get over her.

Trust me when I say, that you will one day get through this pain.

 

Yes, it does help a lot. I don’t know about other guys but for me when I have a new woman in my life, I almost completely forget the old one.
