Help me get over my ex!!

Asked by clb730 over 4 years ago, 116 answers.

It#039;s been almost 3 years now and I can#039;t seem to get over my ex-boyfriend. It#039;s kind of silly when I think about it, because it was only a six-month relationship. He came into my life after a rough period, like he was an angel, he made...

me a much better person. I was the happiest I have ever been, still to this day. He truly was a great guy, the exact kind of guy that I will one day want to marry. We broke up, for a reason that is still unknown. But, I#039;m left here without closure. For a year and a half, I did nothing but dwell on him and what things would#039;ve been. Until, I decided to start dating again. I#039;ve been dating this one guy for a year and two months now, and I still can#039;t get my ex off of my mind. I don#039;t know what the problem is. It was only six months. Just recently, I heard that he is dating someone new now, and that she could be quot;the onequot; for him. I was crushed and devastated. But, I remembered that I have my own boyfriend. I don#039;t know what to do. Either I need to get over him,quickly, or I need to get him back..some way, some how. It is very important. I need to move on at some point, but I can#039;t without my own closure. What should I do? Please help.

I think that there is always going to be a place in your heart for that one guy, but there is a difference between you liking him and him liking you back. Maybe it just wasnt meant to be, and thats ok. You just need to except that, and don't worry, you'll find that special someone someday.

I feel your pain..I dated a guy for three years and I was 100% we would get married and spend the rest of our lives together. Unfortunately, it didn't last and I never really got closure from the whole thing. I went on to date different people and so did he. I kept thinking that maybe, just maybe he would call or visit and everything would go back to normal. That never happened. It's nearly 4 years later and I am married now to a wonderful guy, but I still think of my ex on a daily basis, just wondering how he is, etc. I am hoping and praying also that I can just get him out of my head! I really do not want to think about him , but he's just always there and I'm afraid always will be even though we never truly cross paths.

Its funny I still think about this guy I messed with about three years ago.He was my supervisor at the time and when the program was over we became physical but it only happened one time. Before we became physical we did a lot of talking and conversing about the job and life. I really enjoyed what we had but it ended. He basically told me that it wasn't going to work. I know the reasons, and part of me wish I would have done things differently,or have meet him at a different point in my life, maybe we would be together. He was a great guy, the best kind of guy so far. I don't know if I will ever get over him. What I do know is that I can't stop living my life. After 2 1/2 years I called his phone just to hear his voice but I never said anything. I know things have changed in his life, and I have become a different person. I probably will not call his phone again. I think the only reason I am thinking about him is because I am not in a relationship right now, and I'm bored. But he was a really good guy. I pray that everything works out for him.Its time I let GO

YEP THAT'S ME Answered by heartbreaker93 on May 16, 2008, 05:56AM

Well I know what your going through I too have been in love with my ex-boyfriend from three years ago and I know it's tough. I mean I just try not to think about him and then when I am with him I tell him how I feel and things like that, and the last time I told him this we began making out and he said he was still in love with me too. But we are not back together because I had to move away and I don't like long distant relationships. But sometimes that person can be the love of your life and then just a friend and then the love of your life all over again. The best advice I can give you is tell him how you feel and see what he says...heartbreaker93~Marie

I think you must find yourself first. And be happy for him. I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. He's not the only man on this earth. You must do the things that makes you happy before he entered your life. And make yourself busy to forget him. I hope this will help you..

Hi-I'm in this situation just like many of you. I was involved with my ex for about 15 months and it's been well over 4 years and I still have very strong feelings for him. I actually became involved in another long term relationship to get over him, but I never forgot him; he was constantly on my mind and till this day he is still very much important to me. We talk and see each other from time to time and although I've managed to keep it strictly friendly, it's all a facade. He broke up with me on January 2, 2004 and I was so shocked that I couldn't bring myself to ask him for a reason. I have regrets because I never told him that I loved him and I never asked him to explain why he was breaking up with me, and I never asked for another chance to work it out. I just assumed that he didn't love me or care about me enough to stay. My pride got the best of me and I just didn't know how to handle the situation. Sometimes, I want to tell him but I am too afraid; afraid that he'll reject or think that I am completely crazy for bringing it up after four years. Most importantly, I'm afraid that it will be so weird that our friendship will cease. I've actually begun to think that even being friends is unhealthy, because each time we talk or see each other I find myself feeling like crap for caring about him, when he hasn't made any attempt to show interest. I just have to figure out how to get over him... I owe it to myself, to get over him, I have to give myself the opportunity to meet someone who'll truly love me the way I love him.

ik exactly how you feel. im in the same situation..only for not as long lol..I went out with this guy for only 2 months..and I fell for him after 2 weeks..and he fell for me too. we were crazy about each other and I thought he was the one. I really thought there was no one better for me and I thought I would end up marrying him one day. we broke up for a reason I still dont know either..and I never asked him about it because I was afraid..now were still good friends onlya month after we broke up, but I still myself crazy for him and hoping that one day he'll tell me he still loves me and wants to try it again. I dont know why I keep telling myself that but I do, and because of that hope I cant get over him. I try everything I can. the thing that seems to work the most is to be around my friends. I always have a good time with them and they take my mind off everything. it may not make you get over him permanently, but it will make you forget about him for the moment. and also, if you have tis new boyfriend..concentrate on him. if he makes you happy and you have a good time with him, mayeb you should just concentrate on that and not compare him to your ex..just think about what your future could be like with this new guy..and try and not think about your ex...
hope I helped..let me know if you want to talk happy

No one really get's over their ex ..as much as they say it.. they never do. Just think of him as a hero, if you really do love him, let him be happy. Cause if you keep running back to him I think you're going to be sadder ..just make the best outta life now that you still have it, right? (:

If you want to get over him then all you can do it wait it out.. TIME HEALS ALL. This is not strictly true, but try to smile that it happened.. and not cry it's over.

Lose contact with him.. bin everything that reminds you of him.

Think of all the bad times you had together.. or everything that;s wrong with him.. nobody's perfect so write a list of bad things about him!! Or that he did...

HOWEVER... If you don't want to get over him.. talk to him.. tell him how you feel. GET THE BASTARD BACK!

The best way for you to get over him is try to talk to him and see if you can find out why you broke up. If you still aren't over him then you may never get over him so in that case try and get him back and see if it works out the second time around.

Sit down and write yourself a letter and line out item for item why he was so good for you and then why your new boyfriend is so good for you... You will see that either your beating an old horse and cut it loose or you will ruin your new relationship... Or cut the new guy loose because your being unfathful to him to be wasting so much time on pineing away at something that will never come back .. Put some more effort into what you have and move on... Memories are nice,,, but dont let them act like a cancer and tear you up from the inside out...

I under stand just how you felt. I think the first thing you need to do is talk about your feeelings with him b/c obvisously you have some unfinished business with him. Next why don't you try jsut being friends. And after you tell him how you truely felt I'm sure you both still think about each other. I hope this advice truely helpshappy

I think you should follow your what you feel .It clearly is obvious that you need more time to get over your ex.It doesn't make sense dating someone while your still thinking about someone else. These things take time to heal and you should just try and take a vacation and sort out your thoughts
