Moving on, most times is very difficult especially when you are so glad to get out of a particular situation that you can hardly wait to make changes and move on.
Then the break up can't just get out of your head.
It affects everything you do.
If you don't take time, you will never do anything right.
Even when you decide to engage yourself in activities just distract you a little bit can be pretty difficult.
Your family and friends is the greatest obstacle in achieving your aim of moving on.
Be ready to receive lots of questions regarding your ex, especially if your ex was so close to your family.
Be bold and confront them.
Tell them you had a break up with your ex and it is time to move on and that you don't buy the idea of being constantly questioned and reminded of your ex and the past relationship.
Stand up to them.
Sometimes the situation goes beyond the family and they hope somehow that you will change your mind and start up the relationship again.
This is a sign of love from your family.
The matter is much difficult to handle with when it comes to your friends.
The problem will be lesser if you don't have mutual friends.
But if the two of you used to hang out at one joint with those friends, going there alone will definitely seem strange for everyone for a while.
It is possible your ex might want to hang out with those same friends too.
As both of you attempt to hang out with those mutual friends, you might run into each other.
It is not necessary as you are moving on to break up with your friends.
But maintaining the same mutual friends at this point will be a daunting task after the break up and the relationship is over.
It might be necessary to give up some of your friends if you really want to move on.
Both of you might decide to keep few of those mutual friends.
Endeavor to keep a good contact with some of them and also encourage you ex to do the same with others.
The idea is very essential because your friends would find it very difficult to choose where to pitch his/her tent, you or your ex? Choosing who to avoid and who not to avoid would not be a very easy decision for them to make.
You can decide to travel, go on vacation or do anything that will keep you away from the same scenery and people.
Going on a vacation with a friend who doesn't know about the "moving on and break up," would be a welcome development.
Taking some time away would help a great deal, as you will have a focus and something to achieve.
