We all have one person we just can’t get over, and there’s usually no clear reason why that particular person has a hold on us. Some say it is a past-life connection, while others say it is because we finally had a connection with someone that we hadn’t had with anyone in a long time. Due to this connection, we hold onto that person longer than we should just because we do not want to lose that feeling we once had.

There isn’t an official “getting over your ex” handbook. But, what I have done in my past is burn or throw away everything that reminded me of my ex. I also have removed my exes from Facebook. With Facebook being so prevalent in everyones lives, it is necessary to not be friends with an ex at the start of a breakup.

Am I the only one who doesn’t throw away little mementos from exes? Even after a bad break up I save things because I know that eventually I’ll move on and remember the good times I shared with the person and it’s nice to have things from the past. I’m thankful for all the experiences I’ve shared with people that I at one point cared about. They all have a hand in making you who you are. I think when you burn things and try to bury the person it makes you bitter and filled with regrets.

  LOL yeah that’s what I was thinking. Seems like an unfinished article. Probably ran up on deadline and slapped a half finished story together.

    The rest of the article is on yourtango. It says so in the article, just click the link. It’s not an official MN article. Notice there isn’t a writer name, just the website.
