Many breakups, especially if people have been together for a long time, are often quite painful.
And if you started to catch yourself thinking that you constantly want to call your ex-boyfriend, then it’s time to get rid of this persistent desire.
There are several effective ways to move on with your life.
The first step is to stop following him on social media. And if unfriending him isn't enough, consider limiting your time on them.
In this case, you won’t be tempted to call the person you broke up with.
Remember the reason why you broke up. It was probably a good reason, so there's nothing to talk about with your ex.
Get busy with something. Do you like dancing, but because of your relationship you haven't had time to go to Zumba or take tango lessons? Now is the time to fix this unfortunate oversight and go do your favorite hobby.
The same goes for other hobbies. Load yourself up with reading books, working or playing sports, and the temptation to waste time on useless calls will disappear by itself.
