1. Communicate with your ex-partner.

Talk to your ex-partner about why you are moving on and why your feelings for him or her have changed. Give him or her time to ask questions so the two of you can end things on amicable terms if possible. Talk about why it is important for both of you to move forward with your lives and why reflecting on the past relationship that you shared might be holding you back from doing so.

Encourage him or her to go out on a date after he or she has had enough time to take time to him or herself and reflect on the past relationship that you two shared.

4. Readjust your friend circle.

If you and your ex-partner shared most of your friends, then you might consider making new friends. This might help the two of you move on without having to discuss the other’s personal life with your friends. New friends might also help you restart your individual perspective on your life and make creating new goals and ambitions easier.

Moving on from a past relationship can be difficult, but it can be done. Try to leave your old relationship on amicable terms. Set boundaries, and rearrange your environment if necessary. This might help your transition to this new part of your life go more smoothly.
