Ended a five year relationship with my best friend of 10 years about three months ago, after slowly falling apart for the past year. We were friends first, then friends with benefits, then a "normal" relationship -- then nothing. we had a huge fight, I've finally realized that I don't want to wake up after another five wasted years still wondering why I'm not good enough for him, when the issues are his, not mine. My problem is, when does the thought of having sex with someone else not make you sick to your stomach??? I am a very sexual person, had several partners and relationships before this, casual sex, friends with benefits, etc. Since the break up, I've had two former lovers re-enter my life unexpectedly, but I can't bring myself to even THINK about being that intimate with someone other than my ex. Will this ever go away?

You loved for your ex and you had a relationship with him. Your lovers and you share one thing only...sex with no strings attanched.
You feel this way because sex with your ex wasn't just sex, it was more than a physical relationship. It was emotional as well. You shared intimacy.
Take time to get over your ex and heal. Jumping into a sexual relationship in hopes to heal isn't a good thing. You need to take care of yourself, emotionally, and the sex part is only giving you physical relief.
