Truth be told even if you aren't in physical contact you may be fooling yourself with lots of sneaky subtle behaviors that keep you connected and prevent you from meeting someone new!
Sometimes, staying with your ex in bed can help you get rid of him for good.
A while back I was dating a guy that I was really into.

So I was devastated when I was dumped, over email.
It's been days or weeks or even months since you and your ex called it quits. And you're fine. You're convinced everything happens for a reason, and you’'l be better off with someone else someday. You rarely even think of him. Until you do.
