I'm only asking because in the past I ran into a girl I knew in High School when I was separated from my wife. I thought it was over and this girl and I were hot and heavy from the night we bumped into each other. We were living together and all I was doing was going out of town to visit my kids. The End.
Ok I'm much older and wiser now, more relaxed and honestly I'm kinda enjoying myself but not overly interested in jumping right back in if you know what I mean.
My parents and all my friends just want me to be happy and so do I. Is there a sure fire way to tell if I'm ready to make a permenant change in my life.

What is it that you're trying to ask about making a permanent change? Are you talking about dating again, separating from your wife, committing to this old high school classmate, changing locations, changing careers...? Sorry, your post is confusing.

I'm divorced and no not reuniting with old classmate. I've gotten back with my ex wife on three separate occasions and I'm just worried that the next time she gets wind of someone I'm involved with and comes knocking that this time I'll say bye bye for good.

When you're indifferent to this person. Frankly, I'm not sure it ever happens.

Indifference. Bingo.

It does happen, but it usually involves lots of time and other love/sex interests.

What kills me are the people who believe they're "so over" someone, but they still have to consciously force themselves not to think about that someone 24/7.

I mean as in my case where I thought I was over the ex then got involved with another women and when the ex came back around I went back with her for a while, the women I was with got burned.

Getting over an ex-spouse can be a challenge. Your ex could be sabatoging your ability to move on and develop other love interests. Or, you may be sharing information with your ex and encouraging her to drag things out. You may still have strong feelings for her. Getting over a failed marriage takes effort. You have to do a relationship autopsy--as stated by Dr. Phil--he has a valid point. Knowing both the good and bad about the former relationship will help you cope with the loss--if this is what you want. Either way, a break from any woman may be the best thing. Give yourself time to think so you don't hurt anyone else--or yourself. You may never completely get over a failed marriage--but you'll learn to cope with the loss. Plus, memories of the ex will fade in time. Good luck.

I was with someone on and off for about 8 years. I knew I was over her when we broke up for the last time and the next day I felt relieved.
If you don't think you're over your ex wife, the best thing to do is just to not keep contact with her. The times that are the hardest to tell them "no" are the times that you most need to. Be rude if you have to.
