I am having the same problem. I was with this guy for 7 almost 8 years. Found put he was cheating on me again and asked his friend about it and we darted talking and have been talking for 6 months...I still think about my ex all the time...it hurts so bad. But like u j hope I will getvover it and make my new boyfrend happy. I kind of think u might have gone into this new relationship way to fast. It was easy. But I believe with all my heart that I am goin to end up with my ex eventually. Because I am still in live with him.

It looks like you haven't moved on from your ex. Seeing as your ex is your first love this is natural but this isn't fair on your boyfriend. I think that you should dump your boyfriend as it looks like you have jumped into another relationship too quickly and before you've managed to get over your ex.

kenny agony auntIts perfeccly natural to still think about an ex boyfriend, After all you shared time together, and these thoughts are all stored in our memory banks. But as long as you realise that these momories are water under the bridge, i don't see any harm in thinking back to previous relationships, after all where would we be without hindsight.

Good luck x

AskEve agony auntYour ex will always have that special place within you because he was your first love and of course that means your first boyfriend. You may feel sorry for him that you broke up but now you need to move on. You will probably have quite a few boyfriends before you settle down and they'll ALL be the right one (at the time.)

Enjoy your relationship with your new boyfriend. Have fun together, get to know one another more and basically just enjoy being with him. In time, thoughts of this ex will fade, I promise you, it's all perfectly normal and a part of life.

Dr. John agony auntI wouldn't worry about it.

You are still young.

Before I married my wife she was with a bf for six years.

we have now been married for 27 years and it has only been within about the last 10 years or so that she has not slipped on occasion and called me by his name.

The problem will go away. Doc.

dragonette agony auntI take it you broke up with your ex recently? If so, then it's quite natural to think about him. It's a way of dealing with that the relationship is over.

Think of it a little bit like if you had a good friend, and she suddenly moved away to a far away place: you would still think of her a lot for the first months, right?
