I would love some advice as to stop obsessively thinking about my ex-boyfriend. We were together for 5 years off and on and while I've dated other people since I cannot seem to get him out of my head. I think about him CONSTANTLY. To help calm these obsessive thoughts I've tried going NC with him at least 3 different times. Each time they've lasted about 3 months but the entire time I felt literally like a drug addict going through withdrawal. After the 3 months of no contact I would pursue him and ask him to get back together. Recently we stopped another period of NC and he and I both agreed to not see each other for a while but I have been texting him sporadically. When we are NC it's easier to be less obsessive because the option to talk &amp; see him is revoked and right now it is essentially readily available and my impulse control is wavering. I really want to see him but I KNOW that it is not a good idea. Can you guys please give me some advice to calm down!
