Thankfully I’m not going through a break up right now, and knock on wood those days should be behind me (I am happily married, after all). However, I do have quite a few single girlfriends, and one of which is getting over a tough break up with her boyfriend of a couple of years. She has talked to me quite a bit about her situation, and I really want to help but don’t have a lot of great advice on forgetting someone and moving on.

That lead me to do some internet searching, and I found a neat article about how to forget about your ex. Actually, I found a few breaking up related articles, and they were really quite helpful and hopefully will help my friend out. Of course, breaking up is almost always hard to do, but there are proven techniques that can help people to forget their ex faster and move on. I suppose the main thing to do is accept that the relationship is indeed over, even if that means reaching out to your ex for some closure. Once you decide that it is indeed time to move on and get in the right frame of mind, it should become a lot easier.
