Why You Can't Move On From Him, Based On His Zodiac Sign

Why are there some relationships that the moment that they’re over, you’ve practically healed and are ready to move, and then there are others that seem to take forever to recover from?

Getting over someone after a breakup can take a long, long time.

You desperately want to move on, but for some reason, you just can’t. You constantly think about your ex and check their social media just so you know a little bit about what’s going on in their life.

You know you shouldn’t call or text and yet you find yourself picking up your phone waiting to talk to them.

Everybody tells you it will take some time and eventually you’ll get over them but, honestly, you’re not so sure. It’s already been a few weeks/months and your heart doesn’t seem any closer to being whole again before the breakup.

It’s difficult enough to get over heartbreak, but it’s that much harder when the person who broke your heart was exceptional. Maybe they seemed to know you better than anyone else or perhaps you just felt completely loved by them.

It doesn’t matter if they were special or just like anyone else you were ever involved with; some people are practically impossible to get over.

It would be nice to know specifically what quality they had that seems to resonate with you, but even when you try to unemotionally think about them you just get reminded of how they’re not in your life anymore and how getting back together isn’t an option.

When all else fails, turn to astrology.
