- No Stalking: Social media stalking is a thing of the past. You’re not checking their every move.
- Positive Mindset: You focus on your own happiness and future‚ not dwelling on the past.
Behavioral Signs
- Dating Again: You’re open to meeting new people and enjoying dating.
- No Contact: You’re comfortable with limited or no contact.
- Returning Items: Returning or donating their things without emotional attachment.
Thinking Patterns
- Objectivity: You can objectively see the relationship’s flaws.
- Forgiveness: You’ve forgiven them (and yourself) for past hurts.
- Future Focused: You’re excited about your future‚ independent of them.
Other Key Indicators
- Their Name Doesn’t Sting: Hearing their name is like hearing any other name. No emotional trigger.
- You Don’t Idealize the Past: You remember the relationship realistically‚ not through rose-colored glasses.

If you recognize many of these signs‚ congratulations! You’re well on your way to a happier‚ ex-free future.
