There comes a time when you wish you could hold on longer but things are not working. 

Have you ever wondered why it takes longer to forget some people after a breakup? Well, here are three possible reasons for this; 

1. Not accepting it is over between the two of you

It might take your longer to forget about him or her if you are not ready to accept the fact that things never worked for you. The beginning point to forget him or her is looking at the negative sides of the relationship. It will be hard to move on if you consider the positives.

2. Not respecting your sense of self

Have you lost your sense of self? Breakups can make you think that the world is coming to a sudden end. It is almost impossible to forget your ex if you lose your sense of self.

3. Being keen on what you want to hear

The things you would like to hear from him or her can be an impediment to your happiness after a breakup. Never be keen on the things you would like to hear. Concentrate on making your life better. The period to get over your ex varies from one person to another.
