Break-ups are never easy, but they are supposed to be the end of a chapter. Yet, sometimes, even when the relationship has ended, your ex seems to be hovering over your life like a pesky satellite. They're not quite in your orbit but close enough that you can still see them out of the corner of your eye - liking your Instagram posts, showing up in common group chats, or dropping the occasional "How have you been?" message. This phenomenon, often called orbiting, can feel like being haunted by a ghost of relationships past. But, unlike a spooky spirit, there are some simple steps you can take to banish this presence for good. Here's how to part ways with your ex once and for all, with minimal drama and maximum peace.
