Still feeling bounded with your ex?

Leos. Do you also have this thing when your relationship is over, that you still feel bounded with that person? Even when time has past over it? Like dating someone else would be cheating on him or her? I hate this feeling. How do you get over this? And how long does this take?

Depends on how long the relationship was and how fresh the break up is. It also depends on the reason for the breakup. Use the lull after the breakup to reflect on it and learn about yourself. What was good? What was bad? What lesson could you take with you? Find the silver lining and give yourself time to breathe/regroup. Don't beat yourself up over small mistakes and be sure to learn from any large mistakes. Avoid a physical rebound (and possibly an emotional one) as it will only delay your emotional progress. The good thing about being a Leo is that your innate positive nature can be your strongest asset post break up.

I can usually think my way out of feeling sad given enough time. I also make a conscious effort to close off communication with the other person if the end of the relationship was tumultuous. I tend to get busy with work/projects/friends after a break up to keep my mind from wandering as well.

Yeah it's that loyalty thing but only if I still want them back.

I don't know if that's a Leo trait but that's how I feel. It's really strange!!

only two people have made me feel that way.. another leo and a gem
its a loyalty thing and i think sometimes its just in our heads, we believe this person is awesome for us and how we even want to change for them to make it work, we would do anything to make it work but ive found that if i get what i want its not what i hoped it would be. Ive learned to be careful what you wish for because theres a reason why it did not work out.

No.

I really don't.

I should add, I guess, that by the time I leave someone,

I am completely and totally OVER them.
