So me and my boyfriend broke up about a year ago. Things just were not working out like we planned. Well i met another marine and got married we have a son who is three weeks old, the problem is lately i have been thinking about my ex. I cant get him out of my mind. Do i ignore the thoughts? I feel like a bad person for having these feelings. Can anyone please help.

" It sounds like it may be your hormones after having your son. A woman's body goes through so many changes during and after pregnancy. Are you having just thoughts about your ex? Or are there more things going on (like depression, unhappiness, etc)? If there is more going on, I suggest that you meet with your doctor and ask him/her for something for PPD (postpartum depression). If its just the thoughts, ask yourself where these thoughts are headed? Are you just reliving moments w/ your ex or wondering what could have been? But most importantly ask youself if acting on these thoughts is worth ruining your marriage and family. I wish you the best of luck and if you ever need to talk, I'm here! "

" Your probably having those thoughts because now you have a son along with being married so you feel like maybe its a more permanent thing now. Instead of just being able to date whoever. Its perfectly natural. Just don't let it take over everything, just figure out why you're having these thoughts. "

" Ignore those thoughts.......!!!!!!!! You're only asking to get hurt. You are not a bad person, just post pregnancy hormonal changes. Get counselling. "
