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.

try not to think about him...get rid of anything that reminds you off him. think about his negatives not the positives...and most of all date someone else! someone whos even better!

I had the same problem. I had a boyfriend and he broke up with me and I didn't go out with anybody for nearly a year. I still love him and I think about him almost every day and I hope he does too, but, what you have to do is let him be happy. it sounds like your with a nice guy now, and I understand that you might still and always love your ex, but, just build a bridge and get over it, as Kenzie would say, get in touch with him and tell him how you feel then drop it. it'll be good in the end.

P.S., Hudson, if your reading this, I still care about you

try to bond with other people. If someone asks you out say yes and make him mad so he can get a taste of own poison.

Hi.. It is so refreshing to read all of these stories, I got out of a relationship nearly 16 month ago and we were together for six years. I am over the guy and I never want to get back with him as I know it would never work. But I still think about him all the time and still find my self getting sad and missing him. I think it is because we never really finished things. we separated, then three months later he moved to another country with another girl, we were not together but we had been having discussions on getting back together, so when I discovered he had fallen in love with someone else ( who happened to be a person I know) then it destroyed me. I broke bridges with my ex by sending a nasty email to him, however I was simply angry and confused, I have tried to apologies by sending other emails but he has never got back in touch and I have not spoken with him for over a year, not thought lack of bloody trying mind. But now I feel empty, guilty and lost. I think I need closure however I know I will never get it. I think this is a reason I find it hard to more on.
I wish I knew a way to be strong and not feel the sadness in side that I do, but I just cant seem to shake it off. It has been nearly 17 months! Am I crazy???

I believe all things take time. To this day, I still love my first love. I always will, I've given up on trying to erase him from my mind, it wont happen. because our familis are very close, so im always around him. I dated him for almost one year, and I couldnt tell you why we broke up. I am in a new relationhip now, and the guy im wiht now and my ex are buddies, so we occasionally see him out on the weekends, and it gets vey rough. to this day I still hurt over him, when I hear a certan song I break down instantly and cry. I dont know whether to brek aup with my currnet boyfrend or not becaus I now I still love my ex, but it will always be that way. so what do I do. and as I forget about him, he will text me or I will see hm, and he starts telling me how much he loves me and wants me beack. its so hard, and I don't know what to do, help!!!

this is exactly what im going through. me and my ex had been going out for 6 months and we had such a great relationship my family loved him and his loved me. but he was very over protective, I was his first love and he was mine I guess he didnt know how to work the relationship and just kept getting jealous.
I met this other guy while me and the ex were together and I decided to dump my ex and go out with this new guy I was young and stupid and thought it wouldnt do anything. for a couple of years it was fine I was dating other guys and didnt once think about my ex, but then I found out he was dating someone else I was hurt as even though me and him werent together and hadnt been for 3 years. I've found out they are now engaged im so crushed and hurt that it wasnt me and him and me had talked about that stuff. he recently cheated on her with me for a week and I thought it was a good idea at the time and I thought it may spark something of what we used to have. I felt like after spending time with me that I was more in love with him then ever and when the cheating was over it hurt because he went right back to her pretending nothing had happened. I cannot fall out of love with him I've tried. I guess only time can tell and hope one day maybe me and him can be together again.

once you find someone the mind tricks used by your ex will end if you don't they will not stop

Answered by sienna123 on Apr 22, 2009, 10:19AM

I went out with a guy for like two years, and he helped me through some really rough stuff.
But then things turned bad, and we argued loads. I couldn't get over him, I kept going back to him even though I knew he was making me unhappy. To be honest I think it was due to low self esteem.
DON'T EVER LET A GUY MAKE YOU FEEL THAT WAY.
There is no answer to getting over him really, but don't talk to him anymore. Don't text, don't IM don't do anything. Remember you broke up for a reason. If he tries to talk to you again just ignore.
Time heals quicker than anything, trus me with time everything will be okay.
Hope that helped.

I def know how you fell I dated a guy for 4 1/2 months and then we broke up and til this day I still dont know why..I think about him all the time and I understand that if we werent ment to be then we will either find a way or we werent ment to be. and since hes got a new girl and you with a new guy then maybe try talking to your new boyfriend and see if he can help in anyway cause if your with this guy you can trust him and he will be there for you. at first it might hurt him to think about it or when you say it to him but believe me I did this with my new guy when we started dating and he helped me thru it so it really made me feel better cause he was there for me... so try that and if not then maybe if you talk to the Ex and find out why you broke up it will help you close your relationship with him...help that helped:]] good luck!

I had my first boyfriend 6 years ago and I really loved him. He said he loved me too and that I was the first girl he truly loved. We were only together for 6 months and he broke it off. He didn't give me any closure. It took me a long time to move on but I still thought about him from time to time. I've been in 2 long term relationships since and I had no contact with my ex but I would hear things from people that he was in other relationships and he was gonna get married. I am single now and somehow we reconnected on a social site and started talking casually like friends. We decided to hang out and honestly, some of the old feelings are there but I definitely put him on a pedestal the whole time that I wasn't getting over him. I kind of resent him as well for hurting me so much. Now, he's single too and I could tell that he's interested in me but I feel like I've got a lot more going for me now. I'm not that same insecure girl girl I was 6 years ago and I wouldn't want to get back together now. Guys basically like the chase and when they know they have you, they begin losing interest. If you chase him, he'll just run faster. If he's not chasing you then he's just not that into you. It happens. Sometimes guys that I have no interest in chase me and rejection is all a part of life. The feelings must be mutual. Don't think about the past, just think of the great guys that are out there just waiting to meet you.
