Staying away from an ex partner can be a difficult decision to make, but sometimes it is a necessity for personal growth and healing.
Whether the relationship ended on mutual terms or in a more tumultuous manner, distancing yourself from someone you were once in romantic relations with to can be emotionally challenging.
There are many reasons why staying away from your ex is the healthiest option for you, as it allows for time and space to reflect on the relationship, move on from any lingering feelings, and ultimately create a new sense of identity separate from the past relationship.
In this article, we will explore some of the reasons for staying away from an ex partner and provide tips on how to successfully navigate this process.
1. Respect Boundaries
Creating boundaries is an important step in keeping away from your Ex.
As the relationship is in the past, it is important to create boundaries in order to regain a sense of control in your life.
When you start a new romantic relationship, these boundaries will help you navigate any relationship you may have with your Ex – if you have children together – as respecting the boundary to keep your present relationship going, without worry of your ex interfering.

2. Respect Yourself
The first way to start respecting yourself, is to stop communication with your Ex. If you have children with your Ex, try to limit as much physical communication as possible.
If you haven’t moved on and your Ex has, you’ll disrespect yourself if you keep communication with them or going after them with romantic intentions, and ultimately you will get hurt.
3. It’s Not Healthy
After a breakup, if you keep contacting your Ex or mingling with them, you won’t heal fast. Staying away from them helps you heal faster. Cutting communication gives you the space needed to move on.
4. You May Lose Your Current Relationship
Holding on to your Ex is a poor choice because your spouse may tire of it and quit your relationship. You may lose someone who will adore you and offer you all the affection you deserve.
5. Let Your Past Remain In The Past
You cannot undo what has been done. The relationship has ended. Stop asking why?. You cannot go back and change decisions or mistakes that have been made, either on your part on theirs.

8. Keeping Away Can Help You Win Them Back
If you still want them back, you need to give them space, give them 100% space, and keep away from them. They need time to analyze everything to determine if they love you or not. If they don’t want you back, forget about it and move on. Life goes on, relationships go on, and people will always live their lives no matter what happened.
9. It Saves You From Abuse And Over-Expectations
Imagine going out of your way to impress her, going to any lengths to get a person back, fooling yourself, begging, and still having them not love you the way you want to be loved or accept you. Now multiply that experience by two, and you have an idea of what you’re in store for if you don’t start moving on.
